Welcome to Marks Mini Cooper S Mk3 built in 1970 and registered in 1971. This Cooper S was last restored in 1997 and featured in Mini World magazine. Unfortunately 23 years down the line and it's looking tired in some areas so Mark has decided to take it off the road for a full restoration which will involve stripping it back to a bare shell, sandblasting, and a respray. Fortunately, the engine has already been restored recently by Swiftune engineering

Nice work, it’s the hundreds of little jobs that take the time. I’m having the similar issues, finding parts I’ve put away for ‘safe keeping’ and that switch bezel😮 do you think anybody uses them!

[@markdraper7]

Honestly, it drives me mad with how long things actually take sometimes, the simple jobs seem to be the longest 😂. There's a lot to be said fore the 'Safe place' 🤣. The bezel might look ok on a later mini but not on the early ones, it's mental!

[@doncodman913]

HI Ya . I am probably a few videos behind . Like the look of those wing covers . Got the info on those please ? cheers Don

[@markdraper7]

Hey Don, There are quite a few videos as it's a complete restoration. I got the wing covers from Nippy Cars whilst they were at Beaulieu a couple of years ago. They are on FB so look them up and send Fred a message to see if they are still producing them. Thanks for watching. 🙂
