Rebuilt Original Austin Mini Cooper S on S. First Street

Written by Ken Altes

This very lovely driver bought her car this year and appreciates its performance, telling me she really enjoyed DRIVING it.  This perfect Mini Cooper S has been upgraded mechanically and the interior is really luxurious. She said it was a 70s car reconstructed in Canada with a new body shell.  Get some Mini history here.   In the 60s in Los Angeles, this car ruled the storied Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Mulholland Drive against much more powerful cars, and were very successful race cars.  See a video of Jay Leno take his AMG Mercedes on these roads, reminiscing on how significant these streets were to LA’s car history.  And, I’m just a little bit smitten.  (And this car has a thirteen cylinder rotary aircraft engine – please call me if I have made ANY errors regarding your car.)
