In this Article, I offer a nostalgic look at British Sports Cars, an excellent example of a collection of some true classics, which were manufactured during the period 1959 to 1996.
Mini Cooper
John Cooper, who built Formula One and rally cars, was well aware of the tuning potential of the A-Series engine used in the Mini.
After extensive discussion and collaboration, the Austin and Morris Mini Cooper sports car made their appearance in 1961.
The Morris Mini used an 848 cc engine. However, with tuning, and giving it a longer stroke, the capacity could be increased to 997 ccs. Power would increase from 34 bhp to 55 bhp.
The Mark 1 Mini Cooper had two SU carburettors, a close ratio gearbox, and front wheel disc brakes.
In 1964, the original 997 cc engine was replaced, in the Mark 2 Mini Cooper, with one using a shorter stoke and a capacity of 998 ccs.
In 1992, the Rover Mini Cooper used a 1275 cc engine, with fuel injection replacing the SU’s.
Sales of the Mini Cooper were: 64,000 Mark 1 and 16,000 Mark 2.
