Meet Pistachio Super Cooper No. 88

1967 Mini.
1310cc A-series.
Twin tanks.
Rare Aussie doors.

Small car. Huge soul.

The kind of Mini you end up driving everywhere.

Our custom Super Cooper builds are now booked out years in advance, so sometimes we build spec cars like this for someone who wants the experience and hop the line.

And if you ever want more power later… we can upgrade it to almost anything.

But honestly… this one is perfect.

Would you keep it original or build it wilder?

Some of the oldest Super Coopers yet, can you guess the age? Before watching because I give it away! Both getting our signature Vtec drivetrain.

We just finished this lovely Mk3 with a built Aseries with a custom AC and power steering. The AWD Vtec Van is coming back in for a few more upgrades. Which one would you take?

Electric Classic Cars has been collaborating closely with Gildred Racing through their “Super Cooper” program, which transforms the iconic Mini by swapping its wheezy original engine for seriously overbuilt powertrains.

Well… this just happened.

Our friends at MotorTrend took two of our Super Coopers for a spin — one powered by a Tesla drivetrain (because torque is fun) and the other by a Ford Focus EcoBoost (because boost is also fun).

We call it resto-modding. They called it “insane.” We’ll take it.

Also, peep the new wheels we built for the EcoBoost Mini — they’re not just for show. They’re lightweight, tough, and now for sale. Yes, really.
