help Ogle SX1000 FAQ
What exactly was the Ogle SX1000?
The Ogle SX1000 was a Mini-based two-door coupe designed by David Ogle and offered in the early 1960s. It used a new fiberglass body over Mini mechanical components rather than being a conventional mass-produced Mini model.
Did the Ogle SX1000 use a Ford Sigma engine?
No. Period descriptions identify Mini or BMC mechanicals, including a 997 cc four-cylinder engine, rather than a Ford Sigma engine. The fiberglass body and Riley 1.5 windscreen were among the features that made the SX1000 distinctive.
How rare is the Ogle SX1000?
Surviving-car references commonly estimate that roughly 66 examples were built, although production records are not completely straightforward. The model was produced around 1962 to 1964 and is now far rarer than the standard Mini on which it was based.
