MORRIS MINI MOKE 'COOPER 970 S'

A Moke with poke!
In all probability, this is a one-off, and will never be repeated.
In 2019, classic race car technician David Loundon decided to draw upon his ideas and expertise to build a unique creation; the Moke 970 S was born.
Current specification:
Engine:
* Fully rebuilt and balanced (very rare) 970 Cooper S motor with thick flange block machined to +40 = 999cc.
* Southam fast road 12G940 cylinder head fitted with Swiftune bronze valve guides and race valves (lead free).
* Swiftune cam and Iwis (high quality German) timing chain.
* Twin 1.5 inch SU H4 MGA carburettors with ram pipes as used in period by pre-66 works Cooper S’s (until the HS4 SU was available) - an expensive carburettor choice.
* New Pipercross free flow air intake filter socks fitted over the ram pipes.
* LCB and skidded Maniflow system with centre exit.
* Southam rolling road tuned circa 81 hp; with 405 kg weight = 202 bhp per ton.
Gearbox:
* Fully rebuilt, correct Cooper S 22G333 casing with helical (std) gears.
* Cross pin diff for strength.
* Centre oil pick up pipe to prevent oil starvation when hard cornering.
* New AP clutch.
Body:
* The original tub was too rusty rusty for economical restoration, the decision was taken to use a new Moke Panels bodyshell but retaining all the original body data tags.
* Painted in Spruce green (paint code GN13) to include hard wearing paint coded underseal.
* Original refurbished and painted front and rear sub frames.
* Rear bumper mounts slightly extended to allow for fitting of the wider S spare wheel.
* Adjustable ride height using Hi-Lo components, front and rear.
* Adjustable dampers front and rear.
* Original steel front seat bases.
* Rear fibreglass seat bases.
* Original seat covers x 4.
* New front and rear floor mats.
* New fuel tank and modern Facet fast road fuel pump.
* New wiring loom (old look).
* Switched cut-out behind and below driver’s seat.
* 970 Cooper S 120 mph ’dead’ speedo. SN4479/22 (3.441 final drive correct for 970/1071/1275 S).
* Oil pressure gauge.
* Water temperature gauge: normal = three quarters, not middle.
* Fitted electric (switched) fan as well as the engine-driven S original.
* Smiths RVC1003/00F rev counter (which bounces) fitted into original Speedwell tacho pod.
* Front Speedwell badge is a rare original, the rear is a reproduction.
* New M Parts green hood, sticks and straps.
Wheels and Brakes:
* 5 x 10 inch original Minilite alloys, newly powder coated (BMW Ferric grey gloss), fitted with Yokohama A008 tyres.
* AP front brake calipers with new Cooper S discs.
* Superfins aluminium rear drums.
* Adjustable brake bias valve.
