1971 Mini Cooper S MK3

Another White MK3, originally advertised on ebay.co.uk - We spotted this one on a 3rd party website carfromuk.com. The seller at the time made the following comments about the car:

Mini Cooper S MK3 one of the final 10 ever made as far as the records go it is actually the last ever commissioned MK3 S. The car was restored over a year ago please find the link the restoration photos all the photos in the advert are current pictures of the car and the link pictures are of the restoration as you can see from the link the car has had various replacement panels basically any rust was discarded the car was totally media blasted to bare metal as were the sub frames and running gear then totally reconditioned all moving parts renewed apart from the correct silver coded hydromantic units which are now unavailable but they have been flushed and tested and as you can see from the pictures sits exactly as it should. The Gearbox was totally reconditioned with all new bearings the engine is bored to +20 witch is only to be expected at over 60000 miles and the crank was ground new correct profile camshaft fitted new oil pump water pump and the cylinder head has been converted for unleaded fuel the mileage is backed up by every test certificate ever issued for the car along with detailed history detailing change over from a private plate to an age related plate and finally back onto the original number the car was first registered with. Prior to the restoration the car was still roadworthy and total unmolested in fact the car still retains its original seats and covers all other aspects of the interior was changed apart from speedo and gauges. Unfortunately the car had had a replacement front panel at some point in the past (bill with history file) and the body number was discarded but the VIN and commission plate remain these were replaced along with the engine number when the car was restored. All the original tags are with the history file there is no doubt about the cars authenticity it has all the right parts In all the right places and the pre restoration pictures and history speaks for its self the car is finished in correct glacier white and is running its original 4. 5" steel wheels if you are looking for a well documented original MK3 S with loads of relevant history then this has to be the one this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a piece of British motoring history.
