Tophat Mini Cooper

The Mini Cooper, the pop icon of the sixties. This classic car is the most influential car of the 20th century after the T-Ford, and therefore a true classic. Besides the fact that emaciated rock heroes stepped out of the car in the sixties, the Mini did extremely well in rallying. However, a Mini can have both. The élan of rallying, with the looks of the 1960s street scene. Together with TopHat, this Mini was made into an adorable Almond Green monster, or say bullet.

This original Dutch car was bought a few years back as a project, only to undergo the full monty. I would like to tell you what has been done to make this by far the coolest Mini in the world. At TopHat classics, the car was completely stripped, and restored the way William Morris envisioned it. Then smeared with industrial KTL coating against rust further done by an Aston Martin restorer. After this, this seemingly cuddly Mini had 150HP spooned in with a 1275cc Morris rally block.

All bills are included, and the car is all set for loads of fun. With webers, rally seats and a rebuilt diff, you can start a road rage with every BMW tyrant looking down on you at the stoplight. Are you ready for rally, sweat and laughter?
