1967 Morris Mini Cooper Mk1 Monte Carlo

In the list of 100 things to do before you die, owning a Mini has to be one of them, in period they were adored by stars such as Steve McQueen, Peter Sellers, James Garner, The Beatles, Twiggy and regarded as one of the most influential production cars of all time.

The Mini was and still is completely classless, equally at home doing the school run and shopping trips to turning up at Monte Carlo Casino in your Tux.

They were super successful in many forms of Motorsport including the illustrious Monte Carlo rally which it won outright in 1964, 65 and 67 and also holds a Bathurst record when it occupied the top 9 places with Bob Holden and Rauno Aaltonen taking the win in 1966.

This car available here is a 1967 Morris Mini Cooper MKI built to original Monte Carlo specification.

NRX 703F has had a long and well-known rally history. This includes class wins with HERO rally group, Le Jog 2010/12, Historic Rally Omloop van Vlaanderen 2006/2012, Ypres Historic 2013, Rally of the Tests 2010, Winter Trial and many more.

In 2016 this Mini was subjected to new Paintwork and an Old English White number marker and jack point indicator was painted on the car in 2017.

Highly reliable, this car was fully rebuilt in 2017 and has travelled only a few thousand road-only miles since, it was also used in the 2017 Italian Job Rally travelling 2,700 miles experiencing no troubles whatsoever.

Extremely spritely and precise to drive, this example is surely one of the very best of its kind available and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an extremely well presented and accurate car.
