For sale are two 1963 Mini Coopers. They have been stood outdoors for about 10 years and so as you can imagine have rusted somewhat! They are however rare as rocking horse sh*t and may well make someone the perfect restoration project. They both have complete engines and both have all glass panels in one piece. Body parts could well be taken from one as a donor to the other to make on

Australia BMC's small car was the Mini, the Mk I was built from 1959-67 in the UK, 1960-67 in NZ and 1961-70 in Australia. The original Mini featured an 848cc transversely mounted engine, front wheel drive, ten inch wheels, independent suspension, basic sliding side windows and external door hinges. John Cooper, saw the potential in a motorsports version; The Mini Cooper; introduced in 1961 featured a racing-tuned 997cc engine, twin SU carburettors, closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes. They got the Super Deluxe overriders and chrome trim around the windows. The further improved 1963 Cooper S got the larger 1071cc tuned engine, (then 1275cc in 1964) race suspension and better brakes. In 1966 the Buckle Mini Monaco was born, converted from a standard Australian built Mini Cooper S. the roof was replaced with a lower, sleeker, fibreglass version. Between 20-30 were converted over 2 years.
The original Mini (1959–2000) was a revolutionary and distinctive small car designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Alec Issigonis (later Sir) (1906–1988) and made in Birmingham. John Cooper of the Cooper Car Company, Formula 1 Champion of 1959 and 1960, who was a friend of Issigonis, saw the potential of the little car and after some experimentation and testing, the Austin Mini Cooper and Morris Mini Cooper were born. With a tuned 997cc engine, double SU carburettors, and disc brakes, the power was boosted from 34 bhp (of the 848 engine) to 55 bhp (25 to 41 kW). Designed for Group 2 rally racing, initially 1,000 of this type were built to meet the homologation rules but when production ended in 1967 12,274 had been made. In 1963 production of a more powerful version had begun. Cooper had taken a new 1071 cc engine and increased the size of the brake discs, and this was manufactured for the public as the Cooper S from April until August 1964 with 4,030 produced. The car used a conventional four-cylinder water-cooled engine but mounted transversely, with the gearbox in the sump using the same oil as the engine and driving the front wheels. This innovation allowed much increased passenger space in a small body. The result was nimble, economical, and inexpensive. Almost all small cars built since the 1970s have followed this mechanical layout of the transverse engine and front wheel drive. Another innovation was the use of exterior welded seams, which permitted the car to be built more cheaply using manual labour. Despite this, the Mini had to be sold at less than its production cost so that it could compete with its rivals in terms of price. The early Minis had an unusual suspension system which used rubber cones instead of conventional springs, leading to a rather raw and bumpy ride, yet this rigidity gave the Mini its famous go-kart handling. After 1971 the production of Mini Coopers were continued in license in Italy by Innocenti as the Innocenti Mini Cooper 1300 and in Spain by Authi (Automoviles de Turismo Hispano-Ingleses) as the Authi Mini Cooper 1300.
