Austin Mini Mk II. 1967–70 (prod. 429,000). 2-door saloon, 2-door estate (plus two rear doors). F/F, 848, 998, 1275 cm³ (4 cyl. OHV). Mk II follow-up to Alec Issigonis’s Mini saw some improvements, e.g. new front grille, larger rear window and new rear lights. Cooper received an all-synchromesh gearbox for 1968. Still no wind-up windows—that was left till Mk III. Not hugely changed—still uncomfortable in terms of driving position but a largely inspired handler. Sold in virtually identical form as Morris Mini Mk II. Cooper S offered to 1970.
