1970 Mini Cooper S MK3 for sale

This is a genuine cooper s with its original body shell which has only required minor repairs over the years. I have owned this car since 1988 and over this time it has been significantly improved but in keeping with its period. Great period car that's not seen the rain in my ownership.

Gearbox: Genuine cooper s gearbox with as new ST straight cut close ratio gear set and 2. 9 diff.

Suspension: Negative camber bottom arms and rear radius arm brackets. Spax shock absorbers

Brakes: As new rear brakes with Super Minifin drums. Mini sport as new 4 pot calipers/cross drilled discs. Aeroquip hoses.

Shell is in excellent original condition. paint work is good but there are a few blemishes but these are easily fixed

Finished with BG alloys and as new Yokohama A008. stainless bumpers. halogen front lights. Huntmaster bucket seats. Full sun roof. Twin Tanks.

 

Bad Bits:

Paintwork: few very minor scratches and a few mico blisters

Sunroof: Minor split on seam approx 20mm long (The split is along the sewed seam where a couple of the stitches have broken through. It is perfectly water tight)

This car has a truly fantastic engine and with a little cosmetic work. this car could be truly outstanding.
