AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Morris Mini Cooper is a standout example, benefiting from a comprehensive restoration and mechanical rebuild. It boasts excellent bodywork and a period-correct interior, though some minor paint and seat wear are present. The car is being sold with an MOT valid until January 2027 and is expected to fetch between £25,000 - £30,000.
Condition
7
The car has undergone a ground-up restoration between 2004-2005, including engine rebuild and new subframes, floors, sills, and valances. The bodywork is described as very straight with consistent panel gaps. However, there are several noted paint imperfections including scratches, stone chips, and cracks on the wings, A-pillars, and sill. The interior shows wear on the driver's seat with tears and bulging foam, and the headlining has a small hole and discolouration. The car is currently awaiting a replacement fuel pump, though this will be sorted before sale.

Description
This magnificent Mini Cooper comes to us courtesy of the wife of the owner, who unfortunately is now unable to drive the car.
A retired mechanical engineer, he had a passion for classic cars and machinery, together with the expertise and know-how to maintain them.
It seems he also had a very good eye for spotting and buying a car where most of the heavy lifting had been carried out by a previous owner.
The car was the subject of a ground-up restoration carried out, according to numerous invoices and receipts, between 2004 and 2005, with the odometer being reset in 2006 after the engine rebuild.
We know from a note hand-written by the then owner (and plenty of accompanying bills and receipts) that among the huge amount of work carried out were the following highlights.
· New subframes, floors, inner and outer sills, front and rear valances, inner and outer wings, BMH driver’s door, and boot floor · All welding repairs made invisible · All body panels fully Waxoyled ·
