1965 / C MORRIS MINI COOPER MK1 FHP 163C. - SOLDThe Mini Cooper was a collaboration between the designer Alec
Issigonis and engineer/racer John Cooper, who had driven a mini prototype to the 1959 Italian Gran Prix and realised the cars potential. The link was to create a story that would run and run. The standard Mini would be enhanced with twin SU carburetters, revised cylinder head, improved exhaust, close ratio gearbox with remote change and a higher final drive. A different grille, two-tone upholstery and paintwork and a 100mph speedo distinguished the Cooper from standard. Originally supplied by Parkside of Coventry this low ownership, 56,000 mile Mini Cooper epitomises originality, mechanically no different or disappointing to the day supplied. All the panels are original, carrying correct tags to the drivers floor pan, the slam panel and of course engine and chassis. Finished in Tweed Grey/Old English White, its complete with period extra`s, heated rear window, wash wipe, Benelite Grille, mirrors and steering wheel. The original owners hand book and green logbook are present. This Mini Cooper is acknowledged by register experts as one of the most original examples available today. With an obvious patina of nearly 50years of un-restored existence any restoration attempt would require serious contemplation. One for the Mini conoisseur.
