Manufacturer description

Oxford’s classic Austin Cooper Mini makes a welcome return after quite a while and it races in decorated in a vibrant red with black masked roof.  Apart from the distinctive white wheels, the exterior trim is finished in silver including the Austin Cooper name across the boot and the silver/black radiator grille. The interior and seating is moulded in bright red too, echoing the exterior bodywork.

The Austin Cooper was launched in 1961 and our model is registered EAD 832D from 1966, a year before Austin launched the Mk II version.
