This is a genuine Mk1 Mini Cooper S in the same desirable colour combination as the factory rally cars. This car comes out of a private collection, and has been rarely used on the road since the full nut and bolt restoration.

This model is very sought after, because it will be eligible for the upcoming FIA Classic Rally championship. 45 years ago, Paddy Hopkirk proved already that the Cooper S is a very competitive car in the right hands...
