AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Mini Cooper is a meticulously restored and upgraded classic, featuring a larger 1380cc engine, performance enhancements, and a Webasto sunroof.

While the car has been restored and features numerous performance upgrades, the listing mentions that the speedometer is showing circa 5,258 miles since the 1998 rebuild, suggesting it's been driven and enjoyed.
