The Rundown

You are viewing a stunning 1965 original Austin Mini Cooper S FIA historic rally race car. Fully equipped rally Mini with significant competition history. The Mini was purchased in 2015 via auction from the Cayman Motor Collection. It was acquired by the museum right after it finished an off-road rally in England circa 2008. It was showcased at the museum in the same state that it finished its last race; with mud all over the undercarriage, engine bay and trunk.

After approximately 10 years at the museum, the car showed some signs of rust on the undercarriage, thus, starting in 2016, the car went through a complete 4-year restoration. It was dismantled and a complete overhaul of all mechanical systems were done; the motor, suspension, steering and brakes. The undercarriage and engine bay were stripped to the metal and repaired and repainted, all documented in the book we will include with purchase. This was all done while carefully maintaining its original patina in the interior and exterior of the car
