1964 Austin Mini Cooper S

Description

I've decided to sell my very rare and original early July 1964 rhd Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S in rare fiesta yellow/white and blue with gold brocade interior color combination. Very few of these were built before adopting wet suspension and the later traits in 1965 Amongst the earliest 1275 S's, with all the correct early hallmarks intact, including dry suspension, 120mph dead speedo (as used in the 1071 S), full front skirt, black switch dome light, no door courtesy light switches and more. Full nut and bolt expert restoration at huge cost by Somerford MIni in UK to a concours standard and only 8200mls since completion. Engine rebuilt by Richard Longman of Downton fame, to his GT7 specification. Longman was one of the top mini racers during the 70's. Still on its original and correct 22G333 three synchro gearbox, rebuilt at the same time. Optional oil cooler and right hand tank. These '64 1275 S's are amongst the rarest and most sought after 1275 S’ particularly in this desirable color. Maintained and just serviced by Heritage Garage in Costa Mesa and well known to Graham. With interesting ownership, I am the second owner since restoration and have enjoyed it for the past 8 years. This is a mini to be used and enjoyed. As you'd expect, everything works and it drives superbly! Matching numbers. Heritage Certificate. Add it to your collection for $47, 950. Veiwings welcome. Located Big Bear Lake, CA 92315, USA. PM me with any questions or to arrange a viewing.
