1969 MORRIS MINI COOPER S

1,275cc. Built on the 14th April 1969 and despatched from the factory on 5th May to King and Harper Ltd in Cambridge. Finished in its original colour scheme of Island blue with Snowberry white roof and a full length sunroof was fitted as a dealer option to the first owner. The original owner retained the car until 1983 when it was passed to the second owner. This gentleman was meticulous in his care for the car. There are bills for regular rustproofing amongst the paperwork. A new engine with a stage 1 head was fitted in the early 90s. It was then passed to the owner's son in 2006, who kept it until now. It was a heart wrenching decision for him to part with it, but he did not find the time to use it and it spent its life safely in the garage. The vendor advises that the engine pulls well and maintains correct temperature and oil pressure. It benefits from rear seat belts having been fitted. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a very low ownership example. 

The history file contains MoT's dating back to 1983, British motor heritage certificate and invoices for its upkeep over the years. The mileage is recorded at 11,101.
