*Two owners from new
*Upgraded to 'S' specification by John Cooper Garages
*Re-painted in Bentley Peacock Blue

This late Cooper Sport has had two owners from new, the first being its supplying dealer. It comes to market with owner-assessed excellent body and paintwork, a colour change to Bentley Peacock blue being carried out in 2013 when some body work was carried out. The vendor reports the seats, carpets and door cards to be very good. Engine starting, running and presentation are said to be very good and the running gear (clutch, gearbox, suspension and brakes) are reported to be the same. History is said to be very good.

With just two owners, the first being the supplying dealer, this late Cooper Sport had £3,700 spent on it in the last 12 months and comes with good history demonstrating regular maintenance including the recent
replacement of the sub-frame.
