The Appeal
In 1961, John Cooper - after much debate with Alec Issigonis - managed to realise his dream of producing a 'Performance Mini' - the Mini Cooper. To say it was a smash hit is an understatement - the car was built in only 1,000 units, intended for Group 2 Rally Racing, and quickly gained an impressive record as a rally racer. It's little wonder, then, that more were quick to follow - the more powerful 'Mini Cooper S' was born.
The Morris Mini Cooper S first hit the market in March 1963, with a still relatively modest 1071cc A-Series engine - but by now, the Cooper S's success was already assured, and had soon set up a new way of life for Issigonis's masterpiece. By 1965, two more sports models had joined the fray - the smaller 970cc Mini Cooper S, and this beauty - the 1275cc Mini Cooper S. Naturally, the 1275cc was the biggest success of the Coopers, and quickly dominated the scene.
With its 1,275 cc engine, twin HS2 SU carburettors, and 7-inch disc brakes, the Cooper S was a formidable competitor in its day, achieving notable success in events like the Monte Carlo Rally. Beyond all else, though, it was fun - the car's agile handling and charming character soon led to drivers becoming fiercely dedicated to their little cars. The Mini earned more applause and affection from driver and audience alike than any of its competitors. It was an icon!
This particular Cooper S stands out due to its meticulous restoration, which we're informed has led to it driving just as well - if not better - than it would have leaving the factory. The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate confirms its matching numbers, build and delivery dates, and original colours and equipment, and following a full inspection and service, we're convinced this remarkable car is in fine fettle for the lucky new owner.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
