The MKII Mini Cooper was launched in October 1967 along with other Mini models. It continued the success story of the Mini Cooper, with Cooper 998 and Cooper 1275 S 2-door saloon models.

A well prepared rally car, this 998cc MKII Mini Cooper retains its original coachwork and was fully restored in 1998, with a comprehensive photographic record. There is a collection of bills for spare parts and maintenance including the fitting of a full Safety Devices roll cage, Cobra bucket seats, and a set of Willans harnesses. Notable past rally outings for the car have included the 2001 Classic Marathon, 2001 Winter Challenge, and the 2002 Barcelona Winter Challenge.
