I had a 1959 Austin Mini. 850 cc, 3:06 starter button the floor beside hand brake. Loved that little car.

Definitely prefer the original wheels, there's just something right about the look of them. I've got a Wolseley Hornet in white, red roof, haven't got her running yet but she's going to be a beauty once she's restored.

[@timbrookes3699]

No looking at the engine bay or boot area. I thought that 1275 Cooper “S”s had twin tanks. Pretty car, but presenter was vague and waffley

[@coldlakealta4043]

I thought they had twin tanks, also - spurred by their use in rallying

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

Twin tanks were optional on the first cars, standard after 66 i think.

[@akitas8165]

@@Markycarandbikestuff Every Cooper S I have ever seen had twin tanks.

[@jaymzfc]

Optional from 62-65 - 66 on they were standard

I had the exact same model in the late 1960's. It was the same date same colour but RHD. They were within my budget and mine cost £260 as I recall. It was a quick car especially after I rebored it to 1340cc and rebuilt the carbs. Unfortunately it met its end in a field. John

Éste es el clasico mini cooper. El que posee la vena de época. Con ruedas chiquititas de go kart. Con muchos cromados, con poco plastico, qlgunos de fibra de vidrio y motor potente. Como hubiera querido que este modelo lo hubiesen mantenido

Immaculate

What sort of review do you call that? not even a look under the bonnet! I live in Australia and my very first car was a 1966 Mk1 Cooper S, the REAL Cooper S with twin tanks and winding windows. Why is this car LH drive? Nice car shame about the review.

[@akitas8165]

Agreed

Steering wheels on the wrong side mate

[@jonathansmythe6273]

1664 ? surely horse & cart. Beautiful mini though.

[@luispinto3928]

Missing the right fuel tank!

[@gavinivers8941]

A first the extra tank was an option.

[@alvaromartinez3055]

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.

[@akitas8165]

Looks like a bit of a Frankenstein car to me. I doubt it is a genuine Cooper S

[@coldlakealta4043]

those seats are certainly not original? my 67 Traveler has nothing of the sort. One extra piece of wheel stalk trivia: you push it in to sound the horn.

[@fredericksaxton3991]

The original 10 inch mini wheels were not perforated. Those you fitted as a try out look like they have a circle of holes around the inner rim. The Coopers always looked fabulous with Minilites.

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

Cooper S steels were vented with those holes.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

They are the correct fitment 4.5Jx 10" rims for an early ' S ' in Devon cream .The earlier cars had of course plain 10 "rims.I personally agree with the above comment they just look ' right ' .Minilites are nice but have become a bit of a ' cliche ' after ' The Italian Job ' !.

[@Markycarandbikestuff]

@@Roger.Coleman1949 Sorry to be pedantic but the Cooper 997's and 998's had plain rims with full wheel trims, the S (first being the 1071) always had vented steels, the ones in the vid are indeed 4.5 but there was a 3.5 version, identifiable as the hub cap on the 3.5's sticks out further than the outer wheel rim. Then there was the over the counter "reverse" rim which was a 5.5 (or maybe 5 ?) deep dished Cooper S steel.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

@@Markycarandbikestuff Yes you are right, I do know that the plain Coopers had ' plain ' wheels as a friend has an inherited 1964 one.Personally , I think the vented 3.5s look aesthetically the best with the small hubcaps and even repiicas are being made.Yes, the ' reverse ' ones were 5.0 and remember buying a set in the 70s for my Mk11 1000 to make it look ' hot ', there was an abundance of them , even tyre suppliers sold them for under £10 each !.
