- Substantially restored 1969 Mini 
- Significantly uprated to 100bhp Fast Road specification 

Launched in 1959, and considered an icon of the 1960s, the Mini is one of the most successful motor cars of all time, and one which transcends class and social status with consummate ease. Such was the success of the Mini that it was exported to every corner of the world, and indeed manufactured in most continents for local home markets. The Italian version of the Mini, sold under the Innocenti marque, was produced in Milan and distributed throughout Europe.

This delightful Mini is in beautiful, difficult-to-fault condition. A 1969 Morris variant, the Mini has been rebuilt and highly modified, now presenting an exciting opportunity for the serious Mini enthusiast. The restored body, chassis, underside, floor are all in super condition, as is the Moonwalk Grey paintwork (adorned with a black and Union Jack roof panel); the renewed interior is superb and the mechanics are in excellent order, with no known issues.

In brief, SRP 476G has the following modifications: a 1380cc A+ block, offset bored to 73.5mm, using Powermax pistons, nitrided crankshaft, Minisport 544 camshaft with 1.5 roller rockers, Cooper 11 stud cylinder head (with 36/31 ports), a Maniflow LCB manifold and exhaust, twin 1.5 inch HIF38 carburettors, Minisport lightened and balanced flywheel and cross pin, high capacity oil pump, electronic ignition, a two core Minisport alloy radiator, alloy sump guard, Goodridge silicone hoses and pipes, grooved front discs and Superfin alloy drums, adjustable bottom arms, Gaz coilovers, poly bushes, rear beam axle, and sticky Yokohama A539 tyres.

All this results in an impressive 100bhp set up on a rolling road by Aldon auto. Braking is taken care of by grooved front discs and Superfin alloy drums. The look is completed with Group 5 arches and a four point roll cage.

From the large history file, we note that extensive work began in 2014, when mechanical maintenance, restoration and modifications were carried out, and then again in 2020, when the Mini underwent further mechanical and cosmetic works, with panels replaced where necessary, a new fuel tank, new stainless steel bumpers and a new carpet, amongst other improvements. The Union Jack roof appeared at that time, we presume that the Mini’s bodywork was also refinished.

The car was set up on a rolling road in the same year, showing in the region of 100bhp. In 2021, a new camshaft spring kit was installed and in 2022 work included the fitting of new fuel hose, a new wiper wheel box and a carburettor tune up.

A truly impressive example, the history file contains photographs of the restoration, numerous invoices (establishing that this was a no expense spared restoration), MOT test certificates from 2013, older V5Cs and current V5C registration certificate.
