For sale is my beloved first car!

I drove this for 2 years and then took it off the road with the intention of restoring it someday.  
over the past year I carried out a full restoration! 

I have over 100 photos at all the stages of its restoration. from being a bare shell. to the finished product. It has had.  

* full poly-bush kit 
* all wheel bearings 
* Slotted and drilled performance brakes with green stuff pads (no brake dust) 
* all top and bottom ball joints (joints lapped and greased)

when welding I seam sealed every joint to prevent as much future rusting as possible! 

as you can see I have done a huge amount of work to her and have a nice photo album of it through the stages.  

It has a years MOT but is currently SORN. SO NO TAX!
As previously mentioned. the paintwork is not professional however as minis with this much mechanical work AND a showroom body go for 4-5 grand. you could have this resprayed and still break even!
I am a mechanic by trade. and I had it MOT`d by a very thorough testing station (for my peace of mind) so you can buy with confidence! 

I have advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end early. viewing is advised.
upon purchase (unless otherwise agreed) I will need a £100 non refundable deposit

Is this still available?

Hi,

Couple of questions. To start, is this sold already? If not, is this a left or right hand drive as the info says left but the pictures show right. Any other info would be wonderful.

Thanks,
Martin.

Hello! I am super interested in your little mini and would just like to know if the pictures have been mirrored as it looks like a right hand drive but you have said it is a left hand drive?
