AI Listing Summary
This 1962 Austin Mini Cooper is a true time warp example, retaining the original 997cc engine and interior. Recently subject to a full restoration between 2001-2011 and tastefully finished in Almond Green over an Old English White roof, this Mini Cooper presents superbly and must surely be one of the nicest condition Austin Mini Coopers out there.

The Mini was actually de-tuned before launch in 1959.
The prototype's 948cc engine made it embarrassingly rapid compared with other more expensive cars in the BMC group, and it was downgraded to 848cc and 34bhp.
A collaboration between racing car builder John Cooper and the Mini’s creator Alec Issigonis, the Mini Cooper debuted in September 1961.
The original A-Series 848 cc engine from the Morris Mini-Minor was increased to 997 cc boosting power from 34 bhp to 55 bhp.
The car featured a tuned long-stroke engine, twin HS2 SU carburettors, close ratio gearbox with remote gearchange, and 7 in disc brakes with two-pot callipers, a first at the time in a small car.
Priced at £679, 1,000 examples were commissioned and designed to meet the homologation rules of Group 2 rally racing.
The 997 engine was replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit in 1964 after the more powerful Cooper S with 1071cc engine had made its debut in 1963.
