184 A 1963 Morris Mini Copper 1071 S, registration 8049 SR, almondgreen with an old Eglish white roof. The vendor informs us of thefollowing: The vendor informs us of the following – the car was acquiredby him towards the end of the year 2000. It was in a stripped down stateof repair and had not been on the road for a good deal of time. He hasmanaged to take pictures and document all aspects of the rebuild of thecar and has all documentation from the Mini Cooper Register, DundeeCity Archives, Heritage Trust and the DVLA, who all helped piecetogether the history and the originality of the car. The car was bought carto take part in historic road rallies but as time rolled on and life changedit was constantly rolled to the back of the garage and never finished.

This Morris Cooper 1071 S was sold by Duthie Bros & Son Limited,Montrose, Scotland and registered in Dundee. The salesman, Mr AngusLyndsay, sold it for delivery on 9th September 1963. Its first owner wasMr David Lackie, whose widow at the time of purchase of the car was stillalive and a lot of the following information was supplied by her daughter. The car was then sent to Harold Radford Coachbuilders of London for amakeover. It was then treated to red leather seats, a veneered wooddashboard, extra instruments, a Webasto sunroof, chrome side trims,electric window lifts, a stereo radio, lamb’s wool carpets, spot lamps inthe grille and was re-sprayed in Silver. The engine was also believed tobe breathed on by the engine tuners of the era, Downton. He also addedhis private plate, the car used that registration number until 20th April1964 when it was given its existing plate (all documented) and his platewas transferred on to his daughters Sunbeam Alpine (all photographicevidence).

According to Duthie Bros’s salesman Angus Lyndsay, who stillworked at the dealership when contacted in 2001, the car remained in hishands for approximately 15 years before being traded back in to Duthie& Son. The car then passed to Cyril Knowles from Little Brechin, whosprayed it purple before a fault with the engine made it unusable. Thenthe Morris went to an ex Radford employee, Micheal Clarridge fromPenrith. He started the project but work commitments stopped him fromdoing anymore than start to repair the shell where needed and he hadmanaged to completely recon and primer the shell and start torecondition the engine. Its final stop before the vendor was with Ministoxs racer Andy Yeats from Wigton, who stored the shell and wasintending to use the 1071 S engine in one of his Mini Stoxs!

The Mini Cooper Register and another friend of the vendor, who hasowned and restored a large amount of Coopers including ex-works cars,are in agreement with the vendor on all accounts. Other give away signswere that a new roof skin had replaced the sunroof which Radford’s hadfitted (apparently the spot welds were to close and too many!!); and italso had holes under the windows where the Wolseley hornet typemouldings had been. The vendor had no plans to restore it as a RadfordS as the doors with the electric windows were shot, the dash and seatswere well past it, very worn, particularly ropey & extremely expensiveto replace so the Radford parts were duly sold on and the car wasrestored the way it left the factory in its original almond green with anold English white roof. This car may not be as the original ownerintended his 1071 S to be, but at least the history will never go away!

As mentioned earlier the car was initially intended to be a historicrally car, so the list of parts below are fitted to the car would be an easyconversion back to standard if wanted for the new owner.

Suspension has competition bushes and negative camber bottomarms, competition bump stops and adjustable shock absorbers both frontand rear.

The engine is the original block with stage 3 12g 940s head, lightenedflywheel, 1 1/2 inch Su’s, later radiator, competition disturber cap, withoutadvance or retard, competition fuel pump and has a 4 synchro gear boxwith all new gears and twin pin diff and a competition centre exit exhaust.The car was prepared and painted as a bare shell in 2002 by a Roverbody shop, where the vendor worked. Both doors were new while theboot lid and bonnet are original, then the shell built up over the last eightyears when time permitted, with all new bolts & nuts. All the interiorpanels and carpets are Newton commercial and the front and rear seatsare the original S items.

The car will be sold fitted with two tone seats and Mini Cooper Sreverse rim steel wheels with hub caps. V5C, MOT to August 2011 andcurrently taxed See illustrations £16,000 - 18,000

Entered for the 1974Tricentrol Super Saloon Car Championship, its first race took place on14th April where it finished a creditable 6th place. Throughout 1974 itraced regularly with complete reliability finishing all races entered. Johnfelt that the standard Aston V8 engine wasn’t powerful enough, so forthe 1975 season, with the help of David Morgan, Arthur Wilson andBarry Rowledge engineers from Aston Martin experimental department,they converted the engine to dry sump lubrication and fitted twoAmerican Impellor Research turbo chargers to each exhaust bank,spinning at over 5,000 rpm they pressurised the intake charge at up to 18psi (with full boost the power output is in the region of 900 bhp, but theV8 is currently running with approx 600 bhp with lower boost pressure).Its reliability record was maintained throughout the 1975 season, the carfinishing all the super saloon races entered, and John Homewood drovethe Special to its first victory in August at the Lydden Circuit. In thesame year John Pope took the car to the Brighton Speed Trials and wonthe Forrest Lycett trophy for the fastest sports car and the Carter Shawtrophy for the fastest saloon with a terminal speed of 149 mph. Thesuper saloon was continually developed and raced throughout the 1976and 1977 seasons. John’s Super Sports Special is not only a very potentrace car but also fully road legal and was driven to most race meetingshe took part in. John informs us that the car starts on the button and witha bit of fettling and the usual safety checks could be used in sprints andhill climbs or be a very potent and individual road car. Accompanyingthe car are a set of slick tyres and wheels, spare turbo charger, spare fueltank and car cover. There is a vast history accompanying the vehiclecontained within several scrap albums with photographs, raceprogrammes, magazine articles, newspaper articles, race results andother useful documentation.
