Summary
Here we have a very special Austin Mini Cooper S Type 1275. The heritage certificate documents that the car was dispatched on 2nd June 1964 to official dealers Wimbledon Motors Limited. Options included a fresh air heater, extra fuel tank and 4. 5 inch wheels.
This particular vehicle has been fully restored by Nick Swift of Swiftune for Mike Quaife (Quaife Engineering) and finished to his bespoke specification.
The history file documents correspondence from Nick Swift regarding the build for Mike Quaife, some background history of the origin of the car which was purchased by Nick Swift's father, original sales brochures, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, 2 x sets of keys, etc.
A bespoke build such as this today would cost in excess of £100k. This can only be described as an outstanding example built by the best in the business, Swiftune and displayed at the London Car Show, it's certainly one not to be missed.
