Sadly. I need to rationalise!  
With limited parking. two cars. a bike. the daily driver. and working often away from home. I don't have the time for them all.  
This lovely Mini is as as solid as she looks in the photos.  The previous owner reported that it was restored as a project in a bodyshop over many years.  It's not perfect but every body panel appears rust free and the pain is excellent.  Not concours of course. but very very clean and a great basis for something even more special.
The particular appeal to me was the classic appearance (no arches etc. ). the great colour and the fact you are not starting with a need to repair metal.
Subframe etc. has been replaced and the car is absolutely solid underneath.  To be critical I am not 100% happy with the alignment (it appears to be a Heritage replacement with the mounting holes incorrect!) so I would attend to that detail.
Mechanically very good. although it was not a full mechanical rebuild.  Like so many a-series engines. the timing chain is a happy. but noisy. companion.  If keeping it I would be planning to drop in a 1275cc.  I fitted a stage one kit (which includes a full exhaust system) and refurbished Performance wheels which look the part.  A set of 4 spare alloys come with the car.
 Very happy to discuss. drop me a message and I'll forward phone numbers.  Viewing is (of course) possible - South Oxfordshire.  Day or evening since I work from home.
As always. I am advertising elsewhere so the usual caveats regarding right to end early etc. apply. Sold as seen. but also sold at the winning bid.  Please do not waste my time and yours by bidding to win. then arriving to collect and making a lower offer.  I do not need to sell. you will waste time and petrol money and I will do my best via eBay policy to stop time-wasting for others. I respect good eBay users so play it fair.
