History of the 1966 Cooper

The mini was imported to Canada after assembly in England. It was sold to the original owner who was from Independence, Oregon. It was sold incorrectly as a 1967 Mini Coooper. The second owner was from Independence, as well. It was then sold to a buyer in Salem, Oregon. He started an attempt at restoring the Mini. I purchased it from him in February of 2006. Here are some more pictures of what the Mini looked like before the restoration was started. Original color: Tartan Red, with black roof. Interior: Red with gold brocade.
