The Live Draw for this competition was held on Thursday April 22nd 2021.
Special Edition 35 – “to celebrate 35 years since the Mini Cooper first rolled off the production line and went on to make history. Winning the Monte Carlo Rally three times in the Swinging 60s. And out-manoevering far larger and more powerful rivals in countless other racing and rallying events.
The Mini Cooper was a small miracle. Competitors simply couldn’t believe that the cheeky little cars storming past them up snow-packed Alpine slopes had only 997cc engine and rubber cone suspension.
The engine was developed in 1071cc and in 1964 John Cooper increased the stroke to produce the 1275cc Mini Cooper. It raced to victory on its first outing. We felt that such a winning streak deserves celebrating. So now you can drive a Cooper which is certain to become a collector’s item.
The Mini Cooper 35 is startlingly like its illustrious forebears. The unique Almond Green paint is an original colour, specially reproduced for the Cooper’s 35th birthday.
Drive; and enjoy handling which is as exhilarating today as it was three and a half decades ago. The best fun you can have on four wheels.”
Taken from the original Mini Cooper 35 factory brochure that accompanies the car. Built to celebrate the Mini Cooper’s 35th birthday, this special edition Mini will be delivered to the lucky winner with a full 12 month MOT, reading 46,000 miles on the clock, what more needs to be said about our rare and collectible Mini Cooper 35.
