1966 Classic Austin Mini Cooper S 1275 cc Leyland Morris Rover

Clean title in hand. Make me an offer. Call Alexander at 512-577-9246
This little motor is an absolute blast. The exhaust sounds mean. but not over the top obnoxious. It has fantastic handling with a tight suspension. It is very mechanically sound. Cruises easily at 75 mph and wants more. It is one beautiful example of a Mini. This thing was built to be a weekend warrior. Something that could be enjoyed on the street on those pretty days. then take it to the track and tear it up. The engine has been built for power. and is nicely done. The transmission has been changed to the new rod change because it is much stronger and shifts much better. The car is set up to be driven hard.

Provenance:The body is in top notch shape. The body is an MKII Austin Mini. It has some of the body markers of an S. but the oil cooler mounting point has been added. There appears to be body work in the front like a panel replacement. If that's the case. then this would explain why the oil cooler mount was added because the hole could have been replaced. According to the VIN. the car should be an MKI. The block is an S block. but all the numbers are gone. The head has some of the markings of an MKIII Mini Cooper S. but some are missing.
Work Performed:Oil change Replaced spark plugsReplaced the valve cover with an aluminum cover. Modified the new cover to fit the bolts. Replaced differential gaskets. side seals. and rod seal in the transmission. Added engine air filtersReplaced right front CV bootReplaced starter with 6 horsepower upgraded unit (much easier to start)
This car is also known as: Leyland. Morris. or Rover.
