1963 Mini Cooper Race Car
AOD 787A was first registered in 1963 as a Mk 1 Super de luxe 2 door saloon. It retains its original Smoke Grey paintwork and much of the interior trim Its provenance is authenticated by a BMC Heritage Certificate. Subsequently it has been modified for the track and subjected to a massive overhaul which involved stripping down to the bare body shell. A 998cc engine which runs sweetly with good oil pressure was installed to enhance it to Mini Cooper standard. Period correct front and rear competition subframes were fitted, with Polybushes wherever possible, together with rear suspension arms and shock absorbers, Goodridge brake hoses and Cooper S competition brakes with Alfin rear drums. Polycarbonate race windows were installed in the original window sliders. A Cobra FIA race seat, FIA fire extinguisher, FIA race belts, and an LED rain light are amongst other additions to prepare it for the track. The rear seats were lightened but the original trim was retained. The Safety Devices cage and removable door bars were painted in BMC Farina Grey before fitting.
This lively and very good looking Mini Cooper is ready for test and would be an ideal introduction to the circuit. It retains its V5 so could also be used on the road if desired.
