It was Alec Issigonis that introduced, to an unsuspecting public, a new genre of small car in 1959. However, it was John Cooper of Formula One fame who created what was arguably the grandfather of today's hot hatches. With its front-wheel drive layout and Hydrolastic suspension, the Mini was endowed with handling that put it ahead of many established sports cars and was soon tearing up the racetracks of the world as drivers put these abilities to great advantage. With so much potential for tuning, a high-performance derivative was inevitable, and it was Cooper's garage that supplied the necessary ingredients to properly exploit the inherent qualities of the Mini's chassis. Blessed with more power and better braking thanks to front disc brakes, the Mini Cooper embarked on a stellar motor sport career that culminated in outright wins on the 1964, 1965 and 1967 Monte Carlo Rallies.
Accompanied by its original buff logbook and a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this example is known to have been first registered in Shropshire on August 1st 1968 and to have just three keepers all of whom lived within a few miles of each other. Deemed by the seller to be in remarkably original condition, the Mini is understood to have sported its four front-mounted fog and spotlights from new. Fitted with optional works bucket seats and twin fuel tanks, the Cooper S rides on 10-inch Minilite alloys and benefits from servo assistance for its front disc brakes. Electronic ignition and subtle wheelarch extensions are more modern additions. Showing a warranted 85,000 miles to its odometer, `NAW 445G' possesses a current MOT certificate valid until October 31st 2018. All in all, here is your chance to grab a delightfully original example of an iconic Mini Cooper S at a very reasonable price with a lovely history.
