Some cars are admired.

 

Others are remembered.

 

The Mini Cooper S is one of the few cars that changed motorsport forever.

From dominating tight, technical circuits to taking on cars with twice the power, the Cooper S became the ultimate giant killer. Driven by legendary names including Paddy Hopkirk, John 'Whizzo' Williams and 'Smokin' John Rhodes, its reputation was built on precision, agility and fearless competition.

 

Today, it remains one of the most desirable and competitive historic race cars on the grid.

 

Offered for sale at £49,995, this exceptional Mini Cooper S has been built with competition in mind and presents an outstanding opportunity for anyone looking to enter historic motorsport with a proven, FIA-compliant car.

 

With FIA HTP papers valid until 31st December 2028, this is a turn-key race car eligible for a wide range of prestigious historic racing events, allowing its next owner to get straight onto the circuit.

 

Built to Compete

 

This is no ordinary Mini.

Under the bonnet sits a professionally built all-steel TBR 1275 engine, complemented by a Swiftune CNC-ported cylinder head, genuine Cooper S block and a renowned Swiftune gearbox. The restored shell benefits from an expertly fabricated Owens roll cage, while Quantum Historic dampers ensure exceptional handling characteristics both on the limit and under braking.

 

Inside, the period-inspired cockpit features a 120mph speedometer, MSD ignition system and all the ingredients expected from a serious historic competition car.
