AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Austin Mini Cooper S Mk 1 is a right-hand drive race car with extensive modifications for Group 1/A rally specifications. Refurbished in 2020, it features a rebuilt 1,275cc engine, upgraded suspension and braking, and a competition-ready interior, but the selling dealer notes various paint blemishes and spots of corrosion on the bodywork.
Condition
6
The car is described as having paint blemishes and corrosion on the bodywork, but also notes that the braking and suspension systems have been overhauled. The interior features racing seats and equipment like a roll cage and racing harnesses, suggesting it's well-prepared for racing. However, the presence of corrosion and paint issues detracts from a higher rating.

This 1965 Mini Cooper S is a right-hand drive Mk 1 example that was modified to Group 1/A rally specifications by Pip Carrotte, LTD and raced in various events before retiring in 2008.
The car then spent time at the Cayman Motor Museum in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, before being imported to the US in 2015.
Subsequent refurbishment work completed in 2020 included refreshing the engine, transaxle, suspension, steering, and braking systems.
This Mk1 is finished in red over red cloth upholstery and is powered by an S-type 1,275cc inline-four built by Osborne Automotive Preparation of Surrey, England, that is paired with a four-speed manual transaxle.
Rally modifications include a roof rack, driving lights, a racing clutch with a lightweight flywheel and heavy-duty pressure plate, a high-flow oil cooler, a Ken Lowe electric cooling fan, a Myler’s SuperCool two-core radiator, Koni shock absorbers, adjustable struts, dual fuel tanks, and straight-cut gears.
