Lot details Registration No: 79 FMO Chassis No: CA257-551941 Mot Expiry: Nov 2007
Reputedly one of four Austin Mini Cooper S Paddy Hopkirk Works Replicas built by Alec Poole in 1991, this particular example is finished in red with a white roof and grey / black upholstery. Believed but not warranted to have covered some 17,557 miles since the transformation was completed, its Richard Longman-assembled 1293cc four-cylinder engine is allied to a four-speed straight-cut close-ratio manual gearbox. To left-hand drive specification, the two-door saloon further benefits from a roll cage, 'dry' suspension, disc / drum brakes, limited slip differential and heated front windscreen. Said to be "ready to complete Le Jog or similar event", it apparently sports a "full Works type dash with Halda / Speed Pilot / clocks". A convincing replica even down to its period correct Abingdon registration number '79 FMO', this well specified Mini is offered for sale with FIA Historic Identity Form, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate and MOT certificate valid until November 1st 2007 (while, we understand that a quantity of spares are also available by separate negotiation).
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
