Description
As a summer of '64 Cooper Mark 1 1275S, DGW397B is one of the last of the famed 'dry suspension' Cooper 'S'.
Showing just three previous owners, unfortunately non traceable with current rules these days she has had few keepres throughout.
Bought by myself as a restoration project i contacted Swiftune to arrange such.
We took her from the Almond she had become by that time her original colour scheme of OEW with a Black roof she presents as today.
Nick's team at Swiftune are legendaruy with their exploits at Goodwood etc and DGW does not let them down.
Just shy of 110bhp on the dyno when they rebuilt the engine, her performance the chassis also includes all the tweaks there racing exploits have made famous.
While any Cooper is a phenomenal handing car and allows a rate of travel across country which is hard to fathom for something so small, the set up of DGW in terms of Castor, Camber, spring rate etc has moved it to another level.
If you love Minis, you will want to elope with this one!
