Few cars have shaped automotive culture quite like the Mini Cooper. What began as a compact city car in the 1960s quickly evolved into a motorsport icon—renowned for its agility, character, and unmistakable design.

This particular example is a 1966 Rover Mini Cooper 1.3 SPi, thoughtfully restored and subtly modernised. Finished in Old English White with a contrasting black roof, the exterior has been refreshed with new paintwork, complemented by period-correct Mk1 grille and bumpers, torpedo mirrors, and upgraded LED lighting for improved visibility.

Inside, the cabin has been fully reupholstered in genuine leather across the Mk1 seats, dashboard, and door cards. A brand new 3-clock dashboard with Smiths gauges, paired with a Motolita steering wheel and KAD quick shift, delivers a more engaging drive. Modern touches such as air-conditioning, USB connectivity, and an Alpine Bluetooth head unit enhance everyday usability without compromising its classic charm.

Mechanically, the car has undergone a comprehensive refresh with new bushings, braking components, suspension setup, and refurbished wheels wrapped in Yokohama tyres—ensuring it drives as good as it looks.

A true icon, redefined for modern driving—offering a rare opportunity to experience a classic with the right balance of heritage and usability.
