Although developed for military use, the MINI MOKE was brought to the public1961 The first MINI COOPER, the 1071 S was introduced with 70 hp along with the 997 COOPER with 55 hp. The Cooper received 7" and the Cooper S 7,5" disc brakes. The Cooper engine was a modified 848cc but the 1071 S engine was a complete new development. All Minis except 850 received remote gearboxes.1964 Three new models were introduced: 970 and 1275 Cooper S and 998 Cooper. The 1071S and 997 Coopers were discontinued. The 998 Cooper had a newly developed 1 Litre engine and the 1275 S was the next step in the Cooper S series. The 970 S was a pure racer built almost solely for the 1 Litre class with less than 1000 in total production between 1964 and 1965. One of the production changes that affected all models, was the introduction of Hydrolastic suspension.1967 The MINI MKI was replaced by the MKII which meant bigger rear lights and a larger rear windscreen.1968 The MINI MOKE MKI is discontinued. The Moke was later licence-built by other countries1969 With the introduction of the MINI CLUBMAN, the last of the MKII 1275 Cooper S and 998 Coopers were built. The Cooper S engine was discontinued and replaced by the Cooper S MKIII engine which didn't have anymore tappet covers. The 1275 Clubman GT engine only had 9 cylinder head bolts. The new 998cc engine only put out around 30 hp. Rubber-cone suspension was reintroduced to all models. The MINIs were found with 850cc, 998cc and MINI CLUBMANs were found with 850cc, 998cc, 1098cc and 1275cc engines.1970 All MINIs took over the Clubman concept of wind-up windows and had the door-hinges moved out-of-sight.The 1275 COOPER S MKIII was discontinued.Only in MINIs built in foreign countries e.g. the Italian B39 Innocenti Cooper or Spanish MINI 1275 GT, did one still find the MKIII S engine up until 1975. The 998 Cooper engine could be found in the B38 MINI 1001.</blockquote>
