I owned both a Cooper S and a Mini 1100-worst pieces of crap I ever owned.
The Cooper would easily boil in hot weather, and the transmissions were constant trouble. The 1100 would stop whenever it rained-I always carried a can of WD40 to dry out the distributor and that was after I made a distributor shield for it.
If you want a good car from that era, try to find a good condition Cortina GT-easy to work on and very reliable.
