The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car & Motorcycle Auction
1993 Mini Cooper 1.3 Injection
** NO RESERVE **
Registration - K426 ACK
Chassis No. - SAXXNNAYCBD044683
Odometer - 66,800
M.O.T. - April 2024
Smartly presented classic Minis still cut a dash in any company and this 1.3i certainly falls into that category, having recently benefited from a considerable degree of restoration. It is finished in white over dark metallic green and rides on reconditioned CT alloy wheels wrapped in new tyres all-round. Prior to the application of its current lustrous paint finish it was treated to a replacement front panel, wings and flooring, and rear quarter panels and boot valance. The A Series engine was generally recommissioned and equipped with a new fuel injector unit. The very original red-piped black interior was fitted with an all-new carpet set. The vendor now understandably classes the bodywork as ‘excellent’ and the 1275cc engine, four-speed manual transmission, paintwork and upholstery as ‘good’. This mighty MKVI Mini is now being offered complete with glass sunroof, restoration notes and a current MOT valid to April 19. The odometer currently registers a total mileage of 66,800.
The Mini’s association with the Cooper Car Company of F1 fame was formed in 1961, and for the next 10 years or so all performance versions of the little car bore the Cooper badge. Their place in history was sealed with outright victory in the Monte Carlo rallies of 1964, 1965, 1966 (from which the team was subsequently erroneously disqualified) and 1967. Many other rally and race successes were accrued before the relationship was shelved in the early 1970s. But you can’t keep a good name down, and it reappeared under Rover’s control almost 20 years later. The initial offering was actually a touch slower than the best of the ‘60s cars, but proved sufficiently popular that, from 1992, the Cooper Minis were fitted with a punchier, fuel-injected version of the 1275cc engine more worthy of the badge.
In summary:
- A notably tidy example currently displaying 66,800 miles
- The subject of a considerable level of recent restoration
- The recipient of many new parts and lots of man hours
