FOR SALE I HAVE THIS 1100 SPECIAL CABRIOLET


STARTED LIFE AS ONE OF THE NOW NOT SO COMMON 20TH ANNIVERSARY 79 SPECIALS WITH THE EXTRA BITS AND BOBS FITTED AS STANDARD. THREE CLOCK DASH. CENTRE CONSOLE WITH RADIO. CLOCK AND CIGAR LIGHTER. CLUBBY BUMPERS. SIDE STRIPS ETC.

WAS TAKEN BY LAMM CONVERTION SPECIALISTS EARLY IN IT`S LIFE AND GIVEN A QUALITY SOFT-TOP SET-UP WITH FULLY STRENGHTHENED BODYWORK. IT WAS ALSO UPGRADED TO A 1300GT ENGINE WITH TWIN SU`S.

 THE CAR HAS BEEN RUST PROOFED AT SOME STAGE AND SO ONLY THE FOOTWELLS NEEDED TO BE CORRECTLY REPLACED. THE REAR SUBFRAME WAS SWOPPED FOR A GOOD REPLACEMENT AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN STRIPPED DOWN AND GONE THOUGH. REPLACING ANY PARTS THAT SHOWED WEAR.  THIS WAS THE SAME FOR THE REST OF THE MECHINICALS AS WELL. NEW REAR SHOCKS FITTED.

THE BODY WAS SHOWING SOME AGE RELATED SCRATCHES AND DENTS. O MY LOCAL BODY SHOP GAVE IT A LOOKING AT. WITH NICE RESULTS.

THE INTERIOR WAS CLEANED AND APART FROM THE FRONT SEATS WAS REFITTED AND LOOKS THE PART. FRONT SEATS FOR THESE CARS LOOK VERY OLD FASHIONED NOW SO A PAIR OF MODERN SEATS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND LOOK VERY SMART. (THE OLD SEATS STILL COME WITH THE CAR IF YOU WANT THEM)

THE ORIGINAL HOOD WAS BEYOND REPAIR SO A LOCAL SPECIALIST WAS USED TO MAKE NEW A CUSTOM FIT HOOD. ALL THE FOLD-UP BARS AND RODS WERE STRIPPED. BLASTED. POWDER COATED. AND REINSTALLED WITH NEW NUTS AND BOLTS. PROPERLY GREESED UP TOO. THIS ALONE WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE JOB.

THE ENGINE. WHILST NOT THE 1100 AS ORIGINALLY FITTED. IS TIME PERIOD CORRECT. AND BEING THE 1300 GT SUITS THE CAR REALLY WELL.  IT  HAS BEEN GIVEN ALL THE USUAL SERVICE BITS. IT RUNS VERY WELL. PULLS STRONGLY AND THE GEARBOX AND FINAL DRIVES ARE A TREAT. NO PROBLEMS THERE.

NOW THIS IS NOT A NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION IN ANY WAY. BUT THE BRINGING BACK TO LIFE OF A FANTACTIC PIECE OF MINI HISTORY.

NOT PERFECT. nbsp;BUT IT LOOKS GREAT. AND TURNS HEADS EVERYWHERE IT GO`S.

IS THERE ANOTHER ONE OUT THERE?

OPEN TO OFFERS ON THIS CAR.

SORRY. NO SWAPS.

PLEASE COME AND HAVE A LOOK. /p>
