1963 Austin Mini Cooper S replica, 1380cc Italian Job homage

Selling on behalf of the family of a good friend who recently passed.

This 1963 Cooper S replica has been fully restored and was purchased around 5 years ago, it currently displays in the condition seen in the photos… very good.

Extremely solid, straight and charming, featuring a bored out 1380cc engine and stainless exhaust.

Interior is in decent condition with just custom seat covers and panels. It reads 1289 miles on the clock, we don’t know the authenticity of this as there is no formal service history.

Taxed and insured currently with recent road use, it sports immaculate wheels and very good tyres.

Restoration isn’t of a trailer queen standard but very good and solid with only minimal amounts of surface rust, similar or less than that of a 10 year old car.

There are believed to be parts from 62, 63 and 64 cars contributing to the rebuild but fitment is good.

Nearly everything has been replaced - especially underneath including brakes, suspension etc.

Paint pops well and with a decent polish would really glow. There are a few discrepancies here being a light blister on the bonnet and a few mild imperfections on the doors, you have to look for these, they are very few and far between, it shows no dents or nasty scratches.

Chrome is very good all round, very mild pitting at worst confined to the radiator grill…this could easily be rectified.

Absolutely admired by all and raises plenty of smiles and head turning.

Overall a fantastic looking and performing classic mini with plenty of charm and investment opportunities.

Please only contact with serious enquiries, be respectful as I could do without the negativity currently due to the nature of the sale.

If it’s not suitable at or near this price, kindly please look elsewhere and don’t contact.

Can be viewed near Maldon, Essex, approximately 30 minutes from M25 London by no more than a party of 2 per viewing.
