So I got a 1960 mini cooper S race car last week end and I though I would share some pictures with you guys.

It was raced in SCCA C sedan from 1970 to 1995 with the original 1275 engine until that blew up and now has a severely underpowered 998 engine. And the whole front clip is fiberglass.

Haha. That's awesome.

very cool, s14 swap?

[kylekrueger]

no, no s14 swap I am going to try to race it in historic class so I'm going to drop in another 1275, but s14 would be fast, ungodly fast.

that awesome!!! My dad used to race a Cooper S back in England....early - mid 70's I'm guessing. He lives just north of you in Santa Rosa now so don't be surprised if some old man flags you down. lol

[kylekrueger]

Thats actually kinda funny, I have all the old scca log books to go along with it, what was his name if you don't mind me asking.

[Albuquerque30]

Haha. That's sweet. It looks like it's going to be a fun, little ride!

[pureaudio]

Looks like a lot of fun, gonna clean it up at all or race as is?

[tak7]

super cool, man that thing looks wide and agressive!

[iwantspeed]

can we clean up the wiring eek
i know its a race car but that would drive me insane

[!kid]

another engine option could be a honda k20. damn that would be one quick little mini with a K series.

[deutschman]

Wow! lol my friend was about to buy this before he picked up a white 325is.
It had a fair amount of rust.

[Philo]

Please put a 1000cc+ bike engine in the rear and make it RWD. That's my next project idea.
