Very rare Mini de Ville Hatchback Cooper Mk2 “RADFORD”!
A little history ?
Harold Radford was the greatest Mini preparer in the 60s and 70s, a true precursor. He quickly understood that the Mini was the trendy car of the moment and that the stars would snap it up.
Thus, he offered a customization and modernization service to make them even more luxurious.
All Radfords were painted with colors from the Rolls Royce catalogue. Inside, we found a dashboard worthy of the most beautiful English cars, very cozy seats, a central armrest, descending electric windows (originally, the windows were sliding!), a Webasto sunroof, a wool carpet, a Benelite grille with a fog light and a high beam light, Marchal parking lights, chrome strips from Riley, and a whole bunch of little details.
The Hatchback version is the rarest that has existed, with the particularity of a trunk that transforms into a tailgate, including the rear window when opened!
Peter Sellers was the first to order one, then all the Beatles followed (but only Ringo Starr had a Hatchback to store his drums).
A Radford Hatchback cost more than a new Aston Martin DB5 and could rival the highs of a Lamborghini Miura.
Real madness!
Our model:
Our model is a Cooper Mk2, one of the last Minis to come out of the Radford workshops, shortly before their final closure.
This Hatchback version is one of the rarest in the world, with only 18 made. It thus belongs to the very closed circle of the most exclusive Minis.
In 1987, it was entrusted to the workshops of Wood & Pickett, another big name in the world of Mini preparers.
Little anecdote: at the time of her visit, she was in the workshop at the same time as Paul McCartney's Mini.
Wood & Pickett carried out renovation work, including the installation of the famous wooden dashboard, signature of the house.
Since this work in 1987, the car has remained unchanged, preserved in its original condition. It has been pampered by its successive owners (only 3 owners in total) and is today in perfect state of conservation.
This Mini is an absolutely rare museum piece!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A chance visit to My Mini Revolution and an impulse purchase of a used car. A few minor things were fixed on the car with quick response. Excellent customer service. Thank you, Paul! A magnificent showroom, by the way! Nathan

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After an initial vehicle suggestion that didn't appeal to me, Paul told me he would find a Mini that would be a better fit. Indeed, the second vehicle was the right one, and the order process, paperwork, and delivery were all perfect.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Paul for his warm welcome and passion. He introduced me to the world of Minis, both the classic and the newer models. Thank you for taking the time for the road tests, for considering my criteria, and for contacting me to offer a JCW with a decidedly sporty look, ready for the track. So far, it's been a great adventure with MMR! Thank you, Paul.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just received my little Mini from the MMR garage. Color, interior, exterior—nothing to complain about for a 28-year-old car. My wife and I received a very warm welcome from Paul. I just drove from Paris to Metz, and I'm thrilled. The one-year warranty on both the engine and gearbox is very reasonable. A big thank you to Paul and his entire team. Go check them out; they have a wide selection.
