Mini Roadster 2.0 16v Vauxhall Powered - Real Head Turner with Matching Trailer!

So it's time to say goodbye to my beloved Roadster “Grant”. My Children and my business now just don't allow me the time to play with my toys any more so I'm looking to find him a new loving home.

Mini Roadster 2. 0i 16v
1977 Austin converted to 2-seater roadster with folding hood and Vauxhall RedTop engine
Complete with matching Trailer!

Owned since 1998 I bought the car as a standard shell and carried out the whole conversion over about 3 years.
This project has evolved over the years with many improvements made along the way to the point where I've stripped him completely down and rebuilt him twice to to end with what you see today.
To be honest I don't think that this project would ever be truely finished but lack of time now prevents me from giving him the time he deserves.
This car is a good solid car that's always been looked after and was even used as a daily runner before the children came along.

~ Painted Mazda Spirited Green
~ Full Zeemax Bodykit
~ New MOT ends April 2015
~ 6 months TAX
~ Loads of money spent over the years
~ Awesome fun to drive and a real head-turner
~ Very quick (depending how brave you're feeling) and economical when you need it to be.

~ Comes with towbar and matching trailer
    (trailer is screaming out for a matching set of wheels which I never got around to buying)

To name a few of the many modifications .

~ 2. 0 Red Top conversion with custom front subframe
~ C20XE Engine taken from 1989 Astra GTE
~ Nose extended by approximately 4 inches
~ Engine retains full loom to keep EFi and Digital Dash!
~ GSi 4x4 ECU so slightly uprated power around
~ Spax adjustable shocks with HiLos
~ Front vented disks with 4pot calipers
~ Audi TT hood with custom frame

I've been as open and honest as I can in this listing but there is just far too much to list on here in enough detail to do it justice so I strongly advise coming to take a look before the auction ends if you're genuinely interested - we are in Swindon. Wiltshire.

This is a very tidy car that's straight and is guaranteed to turn heads and creates loads of attention where ever it goes.
I can appreciate this may not be to everyone's liking but this is a one-off and if you want to find out any more just ask.
This car is not a concours car so don't come expecting absolute pristine perfection as this car was built to be driven and enjoyed . he's given me. my wife and more recently my boys loads of enjoyment over the years and will be sadly missed.

The car does need to go but he means a great deal to me so I won't be letting him to go for any silly offers.
Sensible offers will always be considered.
Securing deposit required on auction end by paypal with final settlement upon collection preferably in cash.
Depending upon your location. I may be able to deliver at additional cost to you - please enquire.

Thanks for looking.




The boring bit.

Due to previous bad experiences with time wasters I ask that you observe the following requests before bidding .

When placing any bid you are bidding to buy and not just to view. Any viewing is welcome prior to the auction ending so please contact me to arrange.
Any bidder with a feedback of less than 15 should contact me prior to placing any bid otherwise I reserve the right to cancel that bid without notice.
The winning bidder should arrange payment of a £100 holding deposit by PayPal within 12 hours of the auction end. This will remove the item from sale and will hold the vehicle for no longer than 7 days from the auction end. This deposit is non-refundable should you wish to pull out of the purchase or fail to arrange payment of the outstanding balance or fail to arrange collection in the prescribed time.
Failure to adhere to any of these terms will result in the loss of your deposit and the vehicle potentially being relisted for sale again.
Any deposit paid will be deducted from the outstanding balance upon full settlement.

Deviation from these terms must be agreed by me prior to your placing any bid.

This vehicle is advertised in several places elsewhere therefore I reserve the right to end the auction early should the vehicle be sold through one of these alternative channels.

If you have any questions or queries at all regarding these terms or the item for sale then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many Thanks for looking.
