Austin Mini 1967–1970 car dimensions: 3050 mm long, 1410 mm wide and 1350 mm high. Unladen weight is 584 kg. Boot space with the seats up is 116 litres.
The cabin seats four with a central instrument binnacle holding the speedometer and basic gauges. Large door bins provide storage next to each seat. Sliding windows and external hinges are standard on this generation. A heater is available as a factory option on many examples.
Boot space is modest at 116 litres with seats up. The spare wheel and fuel tank sit in the boot area, leaving room for small bags. Rear seats fold to increase capacity for larger loads.
The Cooper S comes with an oil cooler as standard for better cooling under load. Heavier suspension components are fitted for improved handling. Twin fuel tanks are standard from 1966 for longer range.
The cabin seats four adults with surprising head and leg room for the car's tiny footprint. Vinyl-trimmed seats slide and tilt forward for rear access, with reclining fronts available as an option. A Smiths heater hangs under the dash, and front three-point belts are fitted. Hydrolastic suspension softens the ride. The layout is basic with a central gauge cluster and large steering wheel.
Petrol engine with twin SU carburettors.
Twin fuel tanks for extended range.
Front disc brakes with vacuum servo assistance.
Front three-point seat belts standard.
Hydrolastic suspension system.
Did not meet 1968 US safety standards.
The car runs on petrol fed by twin SU carburettors. Twin fuel tanks sit in the boot area to stretch range between fills. Overall consumption sits near 29 mpg in normal use.
Routine care follows the factory workshop manual covering engine, brakes, suspension and electrics. Parts remain widely available through specialists. No fixed service interval appears in period materials.
Safety kit centers on vacuum-assisted front discs and rear drums, plus front three-point belts. Rack-and-pinion steering and Hydrolastic suspension aid control. The design failed early US crash and emissions rules, ending exports there.
Keeping one means watching for rust in the unibody and subframes, plus Hydrolastic fluid leaks. Original interiors and twin-tank setups hold value. Simple mechanics make home maintenance straightforward for owners with basic tools.
