Classic Mini Rebuild 1974 

P

Great detail, right down the period " reverse light " lol!

Used the back lights for night rallies so you could see if you had to back up. Had to wire thru a relay from reverse to avoid having the police thinking they were to use on tailgaters.

I also love British racing green with a beige roof

Tweed grey with old English white roof. Factory colour for original 60s Minis.

@@edinburgh1578 That is the point, very few would be bold enough to choose grey. Very rare.

@@edinburgh1578 my first car in 1978 was an Austin, I think they called it a super 7. It was white with the black roof, the Cooper colour scheme, it had the red and brocade Cooper interior, with the long but chrome gear lever and chrome window surrounds. I couldn't afford a real Cooper at the time so this was the next best thing. It took a bit finding because of the low numbers, which I didn't realise at the time.

yeah, how many bloody times did he wanna see the light

Beautiful rebuild spoiled by the worst "music" imaginable!

super good

Lovely car, shite music, with the same tedious line throughout!

The reverse light!

Mk1 rally minis had a big reversing light there that looked similar. I imagine that's the look he's going for.

That's what we used back in the day!

You could probably get about 15000 pounds for it easily

like the retro look

Yep, agreed the colour looks fantastic and the white contrast roof sets it off nicely.

Cars built before January 1973 which this was and was registered October 1973

sorry i build cars, not so good on the computer just wanted to share

Exactement toujours des musiques de merde :)

acoow original rear seat,no money spent,glad that’s your qualm

I think 46 years makes it a classic?

each to there own!! i love theme didn't want to build a stock car

it would take a lot more than twin tank to make it a cooper s, I'm not trying or want to make a cooper s, I've built a car the way i like it.

@@trogley1 I only took the 'claim' bit from the rather obvious 'Cooper S' badge adorning the boot lid. You have done an excellent job, the car looks magnificent. They're a great little bus, I learnt to drive in my Mum's "Mini Deluxe" - in Australia that's the 998cc model with wind up windows. They built them here for quite a few years. I wished we still had it, a car like yours would bring big money here.
