Restoration

Notable examples of homologation specials by BMC and its successors are the Mk1 970cc Cooper S and the Metro 6R4.Chassis Number CA2S7/676896 is an original 1275cc Mk I Austin Mini Cooper S and was first despatched to Evans & Kitchen Ltd, Birmingham on 27th April 1965.
It was restored and modified over a period of 6 years. The restoration and conversion to a twin-engine Cooper S took over 2,000 hours using all genuine Cooper S parts wherever possible. For example, DOM 337C boasts 2 original Cooper S engines, 2 gearboxes and two sets of disc brakes. It has a set of 5 genuine 4.5J X 10 Magnesium Minilite wheels shod with Dunlop D93J tyres and is presented in excellent condition.

Since completion, this very special Mini has covered only 2,000 miles. The car can be driven using either engine on its own, or both together and is relatively easy to drive in traffic. On the open road, however, you can truly enjoy the power and torque of two tuned 1275 Cooper S engines, driving all four wheels.
