The 970 'S' is the rarest of all Minis. That one looks good in the photos, although I am not sure the grey trim is correct as it doesn't look to have the 'grey-gold brocade' which it should have. But Newton Commercial could put that right for not a lot of money.

 

Personally I have never liked the 970 - all revs and not much go. A 998 Cooper could be made quicker than a standard 970 with very little effort, but in highly tuned race form it was almost unbeatable up to 1000 cc, unless there was a 998 Imp around in similar state of tune. I had a 970 'S' engine bored out to 999 cc in a 998 Cooper rally car with 85 bhp at around 7000 rpm, but it always seemed like hard work compared to my 1275 'S' if trying to go really fast on a special stage.

 

The 970 was really only for competition in the 'up to 1000 cc class'.

Grey / green didn't normally come with brocade as a Factory option, I've seen it done with silver and gold, but this may have just been special order

The prices are getting silly now, glad I'm not in the market for any more cars
