Cooper S by Ted Bagshaw, on Flickr

Came across this old photo (scanned) from 1979 when I rebuilt our Mini Cooper Mk2 to full 1275 "S" specification with an Alexander Twin Carb (1.5" Strombergs) conversion with genuine factory uprated hydrolastic suspension & works negative camber suspension, Koni front shocker kit,731 cam, lightened flywheel, fully balanced crank, Mada Dash, Michelin XAS tyres, fly off handbrake, competition straight cut gearbox, Group 4 spats, etc etc.

After 10 years ownership from 1973 when it was a battleship grey 998 Cooper I sold her only to buy it back 3 years or so later. Wish I still had it as it was such a fun car.
