The wheels are Dunlop Special Tuning steel reverse rims fitted with recent Falken 165/ 10 tyres. The original wheels are also available.

This genuine Cooper comes MOT’d with an extensive file of receipts and invoices and a detailed service history throughout its 48 years. It drives superbly and attracts attention wherever it goes.
