1996 Mini Cooper S For Sale

JCW Garages S works car number 85
1 previous owner, one of only 5 cars. Possibly the rarest Cooper of all and only three of the 5 are known to be in existence today, this is one of those 5. The John Cooper S specification Cooper 35 produced 86 hp. The conversion consisted of a replacement cylinder head, 1. 5 roller rockers, Janspeed exhaust, K&N air filter element and modifications to the injection system. An oil cooler was also fitted.

These cars had the roof resprayed in Old English White with matching painted on bonnet stripes which run over the scuttle panel as a tribute to the Cooper Car Co racing cars. Badging was updated with red enamelled Cooper inserts on the winged bonnet and boot badges, and the 1. 3i badge on the boot lid was replaced by a Si badge. The original side graphics were retained.

They also had a unique dashboard and matching door cappings in elm rather than the walnut which featured on the factory car, and three signed ivory auxiliary dials were added, clock, voltmeter and oil pressure, rather than just a clock on the standard car. Alloy door furniture was fitted, signed on some cars, but not all as the door furniture was redesigned around this time. A steering drop bracket was also standard on the Si. The factory steering wheel and gearknob was retained.

Externally, in addition to the changes already highlighted, the Si gained clear indicator lenses, and polished metal Cooper wheel centre badges.

A number of cars were subsequently converted to S specification by John Cooper Garages, and the S pack cars can be distinguished from the original five cars by a plaque stating conversion number rather than car number.

Car comes with original Cooper garage invoice and hand written letters from the sales manager.

While the car is largely original it would benefit from restoration, sadly it’s too much for me hence the sale. Car runs great and starts on the key, is a very useable Mini.

Possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to get your hands on one of these cars, going for less than a good example of a standard 35.
