"1964 Mini Cooper S
I’m not sure that there is more fun to be found on four wheels than in this beautiful 1964 Mini Cooper S. I hired it as a surprise for my wife from www.vanillaclassics.com, check out the rest of their lovely fleet. They’ve got a fantastic set up in the heart of the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Jacqueline later admitted that as we approached Vanilla Classics she thought.. “He’s bought another bike” but she was soon smiling when she saw “Monty”.

This is one of only 963 cars built with the 970cc engine, the first Cooper S, designed by Alec Issigonis and fettled by John Cooper. The car is in remarkable condition for a 47 year old and puts out a healthy 65bhp @ 6500rpm with a heady top speed of 82mph."
