1966 - 1275 S Engine : Prepared for Classic Rallying

Here's a description of Roddy's Mini - quite technical!

I am the third owner of this mini, the first owner had the car for only one year, but the second kept it a bit longer - for 32 years!   I bought the car in 1999 as a standard mini with a 1000cc A+ engine and Mini City interior.

It has all period modifications, including S. Engine 333 Box with Spax adjustables all round.  It has S Brakes and drive shafts, with rear brakes consisting of Mini Super Fin Drums.  It has 2 x 1 1/4 SU carbs and a facet fuel pump.  All the auxilliary switches are in the driver's door pocket and it also has a cage fitted.  Interior safety is helped along with 3-point harness. 

Along with the usual dashboard trim there is also a Brantz trip meter and a map reading light (for those darker rallies!).  It is also fitted with Lucas Period Reversing light and a rear fog light.

To make driving easier at night there is also 2 Cibie B1 oscars.
