1964 Morris Cooper S Mk1 1071cc: RHD Home Market Car with Heritage Certificate
This 1964 Morris Cooper S Mk1 1071cc has formed part of a local private collection for several years and is now offered in exceptional ready-to-use condition. According to its heritage certificate, it is an original right-hand drive home market car, finished from new in Almond Green with a white roof, much as it presents today.
The early Cooper S remains one of the defining small-capacity performance cars of the 1960s. Light, compact and brilliantly effective, it earned its reputation not through excess, but through balance, response and competition success. The 1071cc Mk1 Cooper S sits at the heart of that story, prized by collectors and drivers alike for its period significance and unmistakable character.
This example has been prepared with a clear emphasis on usability. Recent specialist attention by a local Mini specialist, time-served from Mini Sport, included new CV boots, brake wheel cylinders, master cylinder, new battery and a rolling road tune. The result is a car with strong historic appeal and a specification well suited to active enjoyment.
Swiftune 1293cc Engine and Competition-Focused Cooper S Specification
While recorded as a 1071cc Cooper S, the car is currently fitted with a 1293cc Swiftune engine. The unit is fully gas-flowed and features a rally camshaft, twin H4 SU carburettors and a long centre branch exhaust manifold, with power output stated at approximately 95bhp.
The gearbox is a B-type four-speed unit with synchromesh, paired with a limited-slip differential and competition driveshafts. This gives the car a purposeful mechanical specification, aimed at delivering the sharp, responsive and robust character expected of a properly prepared Cooper S.
It is a particularly appealing balance: the heritage and identity of a 1964 Morris Cooper S Mk1, combined with a highly usable fast-road and rally specification. For an owner who wants to drive rather than simply display, that combination is central to the car’s appeal.
Almond Green Mk1 Cooper S with Rally-Ready Detail and Usability
The original bodyshell has been comprehensively rebuilt and painted by Mini Machine, using replica panels along with strengthened crossmembers and cage mounting points. A fully removable Safety Devices roll cage has also been fitted, giving useful flexibility depending on intended use.
During the build, a new wiring loom was installed together with a high-output alternator. The car also benefits from heated front and rear windscreens, making it notably practical for colder conditions and particularly suitable for winter rallying. A dural sump guard protects the underside of the engine, further reinforcing the car’s competition-minded specification.
The presentation is smart, purposeful and faithful in feel, with the Almond Green and white roof combination giving the car the unmistakable visual charm of an early Cooper S. Underneath that familiar appearance sits a well-considered driver’s car, prepared with the sort of details that matter when these cars are used properly.
