1968 AUSTIN MINI COOPER
Registration No. ABY 645G
Chassis No. CA2SB1288746A
Engine No. 99H377CH728
Red with white roof and black interior
Right hand drive
From the moment that the Mini arrived in 1959 it was obvious that Alec Issigonis' brilliant concept of putting an independently sprung wheel at each corner with a transverse engine in unit with gearbox and front wheel drive, was an ideal recipe for superlative handling. All that was needed was more power which was forthcoming in 1961 coupled to the name of racing car maker John Cooper. Various engine sizes were offered in Mini Coopers over the years, this being one of the earlier cars with 998cc engine.
This car has been with the same family for eight years and was resprayed four years ago. The original hydrolastic suspension has been changed to dry. There are a couple of tears in the carpets and some minor bubbles in the paintwork, but the owner says that the Mini has always been reliable.
