MINI Cooper S tarmac rally car

Description

A very rare opportunity to buy this professionally built car by Mini Sport of Padiham. The car has been professionally maintained and has wanted for nothing. Professionally prepared for each rally.
The car has only been driven on Tarmac rallies and has proved to be very competitive and reliable.
Engine oil, transmission oil (motorsport oils) and plugs replaced for every rally.


The bodyshell has been prepared by Custom Cages in Daventry with a weld-in triangulated cage to front and rear suspension pick up points.
Sill tubes.
Raised and reinforced front strut towers.
There is full documentary certification with the car from Custom Cages.

I bought the car in 2017 and it underwent a complete bare shell rebuild and total re-paint in 2018. All photos documenting this are available.

The car has been used on only 5 tarmac rallies since this build.
