Classic Mini

Unfortunately due to a new project my pride and joy needs to go to make space! 

It started off as 1000cc automatic in sandglow. originally taken off the road in 2012 for restoration. This became a full restoration. the bodywork and paint being done to a brilliant standard. Since then everything has been removed from the car and refurbished/restored/replaced according to its condition. No expense has been spared.

Both front wings. the front panel. doors. A panels. sills. door steps. lower 3/4 panels and some guttering were replaced. The car was then sanded back and repainted in John Deere green inside and out. The car was fully waxoiled inside the panels and covering the floor.

Both subframes were removed and refurbished with relatively minor rust. They were both rebuilt with new parts; poly bushes. radius arms. suspension donuts. braided brake lines. brakes (back plates & mini fins at the rear. S discs on the front) with Hi-Lo's and adjustable spax shocks.

The engine is a 1310cc manual based on a 1992 block with HIF44carb (rebuilt with overbore to 1310cc less than 500 miles ago all fully set up on the rollers new turbo clutch. new bearings ect ect) facet fuel pump (mounted on the rear subframe with bash guard). nbsp;and fuel king filter.

The exhaust is a single box side exit Play Mini in stainless steel with an LCB manifold (all with yellow colour coordinated rubber mounts).

The headlights have been changed for Lucas P700's with Lucas 488 (flat glass) indicators and retains the Mk 3 lights at the rear.

There are yellow (colour coordinated) Samco hoses throughout and new Minisport yellow HT leads to accompany the Aldon coil and electronic distributor.

The exterior has been kept subtle with 6" x 10" silver Mamba's with Yokohama 165/70/10 A008 tyres. body coloured group 5 arches. stainless bumpers with overiders and corner bars and retro race mirrors. The car also has period raised letter number plates front and rear.  

The interior has been finished in a new green carpet set with custom seat covers and savage style switches. retaining the central speedo.

Not so good bits : The speedo readout is wrong. hasn't ever bothered me enough to change it. The temperature gauge has stopped working if I get time I will look into this as it should be something simple car runs faultlessly.  

Will also add that the seats currently in the car will be removed due to them being needed for my new project. I will give the new owner the cobra seat subframes so you can choose your own seats.

I am open to sensible offers but am in no rush what so ever to sell it. Any questions please ask viewing is welcome/recommended just drop me a message on here or to 07949046822 (please text me as I'm a shift worker many thanks) 

Normal eBay rules apply. your bidding to buy not to come and lick the windows
