This delightful Morris Mini Cooper was first registered on 1st June 1964.

The first registered keeper was a Welsh rally driver, Gareth Prycherch who purchased the car to compete in the ‘Motoring News Rally Championship’ and other rallies until he retired in the early 1970s.

Thereafter the car remained off road until 1988 whereupon it was sold to a Mr.

Hindmarsh who then restored this example over a period of time.

During that time, the car was changed from its original colour of Tweed Grey to Tartan Red with a contrasting Old English White roof.

This example has a huge specification; mechanically, the engine was upgraded to a 1275cc block (there is a copy of a letter from the MSA approving this block for historic rallying in 1999) and has recently undergone a comprehensive build to period specification with the 1275cc unit bored to 1330cc.

A larger and later seven gallon single fuel tank is fitted whilst the suspension has also been fully upgraded, all recorded on file.
