Car Forum / MINI / September 2003Differences between Cooper and regular Mini
Hi, what where the differences on the late classic Mini models between the Cooper and the regular Mini? I just know the difference in horsepower.

There is no difference in horsepower, other than on the Cooper Garages modded cars. All the differences are in trim. Most obvious are the Cooper stripes and white roof. All the trim options were available as options on the non Cooper-badged cars anyway.

I see, the "regular" Minis of the 90ies here (Austria and Germany) have 53HP and the Coopers are registered with 63HP, strange. Anyway, thanks for the Info.

I remember reading it in the advertising blurb that Rover sent me when they introduced the twin-point FI. But my memory could be playing tricks with me, which would not be unusuall ;-) Drew. > IIRC the single points had a differnt engine spec for coopers and normal > models, but all the twin points were the same.

Ah, seems to be the solution, I never read about different HP´s for the twin-point efi´s. > But my memory could be playing tricks with me, which would not be > unusuall ;-) Which memory, what do you exactly wan´t? ;) BTW, its really nice here in alt.autos.mini Raoul Signature.sig-Simulator 0.07ß >> There is no difference in horsepower, other than on the Cooper Garages >> modded cars.
