AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Austin Mini Cooper S Mk. I (1275cc) is a beautifully restored example, converted to right-hand drive and finished in Island Blue with an Old English white roof. It has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt rebuild, with a heritage certificate and a file of expenditure included.
