1967 Morris Mini Cooper S Sprint

This 1967 Morris Mini Cooper S was delivered new to Stewart and Ardern, Ltd. of Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, where it was subsequently converted to Sprint specifications. Initial modifications included removing several inches from the roofline and beltline, and further customization was carried out by Wood & Pickett, Ltd. of London, England beginning in late 1970. Commissioned work carried out at that time included converting the car to left-hand drive, soundproofing and reupholstering the interior in black leather, repainting the body silver, and upgrading the engine. The vehicle was later stolen in Los Angeles, California in 1972, retrieved, and shipped back to Wood & Pickett in 1974 to repair damage incurred during the theft and to further modify the car.

Power is provided by a Richard Longman–rebuilt 1,380cc inline-four mated to a Retro Engineering five-speed manual transmission. Minilite 10×6″ magnesium wheels are wrapped in 165/70 Yokohama Advan HF Type-D A-008 tires. Cooper S 7.5″ disc brakes are fitted up front. A Hi-Lo suspension has been fitted.The coachbuilt interior features Recaro seats upholstered in black leather over matching carpeting. Additional features include a center armrest, modified rear quarter boxes to allow the seats to have longer travel, a Becker Mexico cassette stereo, and added power windows.

This is an extremely rare opportunity to own a one of a kind Mini Cooper S. This car is out of our personal collection and is a fantastic car. I didn't think we would eve sell this car but the time has come to let someone else enjoy it.
