Vehicle Detail
This is a great little Mini Cooper S rally car. It can be used on the street, in road rally, in a vintage road race, or a rallycross. This is the vehicle that can do it all. The engine sounds like a race engine but is not too loud to be driven on the road. I would say half as loud as a Harley. The car starts up every time and has a battery cutoff switch mounted between the seats. You will not find a better prepared period car. Included is the Heritage Certificate, a two binders full of all of the email correspondence, receipts and hand written notes and diagrams about the restoration and history of the car. As well as the plates it wore when in Georgia, Texas, and Iowa. There is also a photo album documenting its time in Hong Kong showing the build of the engine and its transportation in crates and on trucks. The only difference between this car and the works cars you are used to seeing is that this one is was painted green during the last restoration.
