Hello all,

I'm making my debut post and happy to be Mini owner again, haven’t owned one since moving to California from the UK 11 years ago.

With that said I just acquired a 1990 mainstream cooper with the 1275 single carb. I bought it as a unfinished restoration project with the engine out and the parts in boxes. I'm making an inventory of missing engine compartment items and wondered if anyone had a 90-91 Cooper or standard I could look at and compare.

Thanks

 

Lay your hands on a copy of the "summer 2011" issue of MiniWorld - this was a special edition celebrating 20 years for MiniWorld. Pages 26 - 30 are about the limited edition Coooper conversions of 1990; altho the pictures are of a modified car at that - an RSP

And in general I recommend a subs' to MiniWorld for your library

There is of course the matter of many authorities believing that the Cooper / S was made from 1961 thru 1971 . . . and anything after was just . . .

something different?

Or what years was a Mustang Cobra made? Is a 67 Mustang Cobra in the same class as one today?

 

Thanks for the info, I did see that copy of miniworld and I will subscribe again, although it's been 18 years since I last did

What I'm really looking for are high-res pics of the engine layout for comparison. I'm anxiously waiting my copy of "how to time your a-series" in the mean time
