By using a 2-box styling, they produced a four-seat compact car about 3 meters in length that used a front engine, front wheel drive layout. It initially had an 848cc, 34hp engine, which allowed a speed of 115km\/h. This outstanding design provided room for four large adults to be seated comfortably. Its patented “Hydrolastic” four-wheel independent suspension system, introduced in 1964 to replace the earlier very compact rubber cone system, was another excellent innovation. This superbly balanced car also performed well on racing circuits, and John Cooper of British racing fame, enhanced the engine and introduced it as the Morris Mini Cooper. A series of modifications began in 1961 using a 997cc engine followed by a 998cc engine in the Cooper, then a 1,071cc, 67.5hp Cooper S in 1963; in 1964 the popular 1275cc, 75hp car came out, along with a special 970cc racing version. Competition versions of the 1275S and 970S were often known as “Works Minis”, the 1275S being changed to have a 1,293cc powerplant, which filled the 1,300cc class requirement, and put out 91hp. The racing Mini proved its potential by dominating races held in 1964 and 1965. It won the 1967 1,300cc class title in the British Saloon Car Championship (BSCC), the 1968 European Touring Car Championship, and again clinched the BSCC title that same year. With its track and rally successes, the Mini Cooper is a true motorsports gem.\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n•\t1\/24 scale plastic model assembly kit.
