Lot 9189: 1964 Mini Cooper S

Based on my analysis of comparable sales data from Classic.com’s market for 1964 Mini Cooper S vehicles, I can provide you with a solid valuation range for a restored example.

From the comparable sales data I pulled, 1964 Mini Cooper S vehicles in “Original & Highly Original” condition have been selling in the $38,000-$65,000 range, with an average around $46,000. However, since you’re asking about a restored vehicle, we need to factor in the restoration premium.

In the classic car market, a quality restoration typically adds 20-40% to the value compared to an original but well-maintained example. This accounts for the significant investment in labor, parts, and finishing that goes into a proper restoration.

For a restored 1964 Mini Cooper S, you’re looking at a value range of approximately $55,000-$85,000, depending on the quality and completeness of the restoration. Factors that would push it toward the higher end include:

• Numbers-matching engine and transmission
• Correct factory specifications and colors
• Documentation of the restoration process
• Low mileage since restoration

The 1964 Cooper S is particularly desirable as it’s from the first year of the Mk I Cooper S production, making it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts.
