1966 Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S | Shepley and Shelley, West Yorkshire

A 1966 Austin Mini Cooper 1275 S, the most powerful of the original Cooper S Minis. Its 1,275cc engine was developed for the 1,300cc rally class, and the model is remembered for the red, white and blue Cooper S cars in The Italian Job. This car is white with a red interior, a bright, clean pairing that reads well on camera. It keeps the round-nose Mini shape, and its small proportions leave plenty of room in shot for the street or location behind it. The period look suits 1960s film and TV scenes, as well as advertising, music videos and fashion or editorial shoots, where the compact, bold shape gives a strong subject. At events it works as a display car. Weddings and personal hires suit short, intimate arrivals. The car is based in Shepley and Shelley, West Yorkshire.
