According to its BMIHT certificate this late MK1 Cooper S was built on 30th August 1967 and road registered as `NLR 200F' under the home delivery export scheme. Extensively restored by the late Michael Sutton Esq between 2004 and 2007 using a suitable replacement bodyshell that is thought to date from the same month of production, the Mini nevertheless boasts matching chassis, engine and body numbers (the latter having been transposed). Subtly upgraded with a Swiftune Level 3 Road Rocket cylinder head, duplex timing chain kit, Aldon performance distributor, Maniflow stainless steel exhaust and oil cooler etc, the Austin passed a MOT test in January 2013 with no advisories. The circa £18,000 worth of accompanying receipts make no allowance for Mr Sutton's labour.
