1965 Mini Cooper S 1071
A 1964 Morris Mini Cooper 1071cc S, built on 23 June 1964 and delivered new through The Morris Garages of Oxford, this car is among the final examples produced in the short 1963–1965 run of just over 4,000 units — specifically the 54th-last off the line. Originally finished in Tweed Grey with an Old English White roof, it has since been refinished in Tartan Red with a Black roof and matching interior. Retaining its original matching-numbers drivetrain, the car has undergone a restoration and presents in well-maintained condition.

Maintenance & restoration
- —Restoration
A comprehensive restoration was carried out at an undisclosed time, after which only a small number of miles have been accumulated. The car also received a colour change from its original Tweed Grey and Old English White roof scheme to the current Tartan Red with Black roof and Tartan Red/Gold Brocade-Grey interior.
Heritage Certificate confirms the car remains matching numbers post-restoration.
