AI Listing Summary

Condition
7
Based on the description, the car is well-maintained and has been used successfully for club road rallies and historic rally events. It is described as very solid and well-prepared. However, it has been used for speed events, sprints, and hill climbs, and admits it is far more capable for the historic rallys it was designed for. There is no mention of any significant cosmetic or mechanical issues. Therefore, a rating of 7 seems appropriate.

Description
To many, its designer Alec Issigonis included, the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was an anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable.
One man though, saw it quite differently.
Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew quite a bit about tuning BMC's A-Series engine - he was running the company's Formula Junior effort at the time - and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential.
The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous.
The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions.
This fabulous historic rally prepared Mini Cooper Mk.
II has been built to full Cooper S specification with twin tanks, disc brakes and 1293 engine with twin SU carburettors.
