1963 Morris Mini Cooper 1071 “S” Mk 1 Monte Carlo Rally Spec for sale in London RHD
Designed by the creative genius Alec Issigonis, the famous Mini was originally marketed under two different brand names: Austin and Morris. The Cooper version appeared in 1961, owing its name to the engine tuning by John Cooper, who had won the World Championship with his Formula 1 cars in 1959 and 1960. Aimed primarily at the competition market, the S was soon a very familiar sight on the race tracks and with the rallying fraternity.
