To many - its designer Alec Issigonis included - the notion that the Mini might have a future as anything other than basic transport was anathema, and the idea of a high-performance version was laughable. One man, though, saw it quite differently.

Racing car manufacturer John Cooper already knew a loy about tuning BMC's A-Series engine, and a test drive in a prototype Mini convinced him of the car's competition potential. The result, launched in September 1961, was the Mini Cooper, a car that offered a size/price/performance package that was nothing short of miraculous. The Mini Cooper soon established its credentials as a rally and race winner, and the stage was set for even faster versions. The ultimate Mini of its day, the 1,275cc 'S' pumped out 76bhp while remaining exceptionally flexible, and was good for a genuine 100mph 9161km/h), an astonishing performance at the time.

Right from the start in 1959, the Mini was being assembled abroad, though production at BMC's Spanish subsidiary AUTHI (Automoviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses SA) did not commence until 1968. Delivered new in Barcelona, this Spanish-built Mini Cooper is one of only two believed completed with faux 'cane furniture' side trim, the other being in a museum in Barcelona. The car had been disassembled prior to its acquisition by the vendor and is now partially restored and in an excellent state of presentation. Accompanying documentation consists of a French Carte Grise and sundry invoices from Morisse Nayrat and British Car Centre for works carried out and parts supplied.

AUTHI Mini Cooper 1300 MkII 1968

Châssis n° MC00405

  • Rare variante de la Mini construite en Espagne
  • L'une des deux seules connues avec le décor latéral en faux cannage
  • Livrée neuve à Barcelone
  • En partie restaurée
  • Idéale pour fêter le 60e anniversaire de la Mini en 2019 Chez beaucoup, y compris son concepteur Alec Issigonis, imaginer que la Mini puisse à l'avenir être autre chose qu'un moyen de transport basique vous valait un anathème, et l'idée de version haute performance faisait rire.

Mais un individu ne voyait pas les choses ainsi. John Cooper, le constructeur de voitures de course, savait s'y prendre pour gonfler les moteur BMC série A, et l'essai d'un prototype de Mini le convainquit du potentiel sportif de la voiture. Cela déboucha sur la présentation en septembre 1961 de la Mini Cooper, une voiture qui proposait un équilibre taille/prix/performance qui relevait du miracle. La Mini Cooper ne tarda pas à se poser en vainqueur en rallye et en course ; le terrain était prêt pour des versions encore plus rapides. La dernière Mini de cette ère, la "S" de 1275 cm3, délivrait ses 76 chevaux tout en restant exceptionnellement souple et vous assurait un bon 160 km/h, vitesse étonnante pour l'époque.

Dès ses débuts en 1959, la Mini était aussi assemblée hors de Grande-Bretagne, mais la production de AUTHI (Automoviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses SA), la filiale espagnole de BMC, ne commença qu'en 1968. Cette Mini Cooper fabriquée en Espagne fut livrée neuve à Barcelone ; c'est l'une des deux seules connues avec le décor latéral en faux cannage, l'autre se trouvant dans un musée de Barcelone. La voiture avait été démontée avant que son vendeur ne l'acquière ; elle est maintenant en partie restaurée et se présente dans un excellent état. Elle est accompagnée de sa carte grise française et de diverses factures de Morisse Nayrat et du British Car Centre correspondant aux travaux effectués et aux pièces fournies.
