I say "new" since the our 1967? RHD Austin Morris Cooper S has actually been in my family since '72. My mom imported her and she had a fire in '77 (dash & interior). It's always been my goal to get her back on the road and Mom finally gave me her blessing. We're headed to Indiana to start the project. She was repainted in '77 prior to the fire. We know we have a huge and fun adventure ahead of us and will need parts, advice, etc.

 

Welcome! The fun has only begun. The fact that you have an original S makes it a real gem.

Make sure you check out the "Classic Mini" forum for any questions you may have.

 

nice! Is the original motor still intact? I see missing headlights and grill...

 

Go with a rebuilt or new engine, will be a better investment.

Parts are very easy to get now when ordering online. Like the grille and headlamps.

 

Great opportunity for sure! If you need a little help with how to ID your Mini you might visit here:
