Tolman reveals one-off restomod of a 1968 Cooper S Mk II
21 Dec 2024|45 views
Tolman has revealed its latest customer commission: a restored 1968 Mini Cooper S Mk II with all the charm of the original, but with fewer pitfalls that come with a 56-year old car.
The project, which lasted a year, began with a complete strip of the interior and mechanicals. The Mini's hydroelastic suspension has been swapped in favour of KAD adjustable tie rods and Bilstein dampers. It also offers 90bhp and 109Nm of torque and retains its four-speed configuration for authenticity. In addition, its engine has been fully rebuilt and now benefits from fuel injection.
A one-off Tolman stainless steel exhaust ensures a sportier 'A-Series' sound but has been tuned to avoid being overwhelmingly noisy
In its interior, it features heated front and rear screens, LED lighting all round, and invisible Bluetooth integration. To combat the British weather, the Mini received full stone chip protection coating and Lanoguard on the underside and in the cavities, combined with Supagard ceramic coating on painted surfaces.
With the Mini making its way back to its owner in time for Christmas, Tolman is now able to shift its focus to other one-off commissions including two 1980s icons and four new Tolman Edition Peugeot 205 GTis in build.
