Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 649 votes
SUPERB Mini shorty
Need the space now. SUPER FAST SALE £2750 no offers BARGAIN! (owes double that)
Excellent running costs and very cheap insurance. (kit car/classic) 
with wet weather tonneau cover.  
Possibly the only truly road legal shorty in the country?

This mini shorty has recently successfully completed the L2B run. (london to brighton). from Norfolk to London. London to brighton and then Brighton back to Norfolk without issue.  
Pictures taken at crystal palace London.  

The car was Professionally built by a specialist company and was built for a1 mini/metro centre. The car was used for promotional work for a while and then put into storage.  I bought the car to use at shows and got her back into shape.

I have loved owning this car and I have gone through and serviced her thoroughly. I have replaced all that I found she needed including full clutch. brakes seals rubbers etc etc 
I cant stand an unreliable car and as this is my own I just replaced what ever I felt it needed. even a new radiator. water pump. fuse box etc etc just to be on the safe side.  

The paintwork was professionally carried out by the company that built the car and still looks so fresh you would think its only months old! Its smooth and shines so well. Its a charcoal grey with diamond multi colour metallic added so it shines through prisms of light in direct sun.  Difficult to show in the pictures just how nice the paint is.
The paint job alone would be well over a grand.  

No rust that I can find. no bubbling under the paint either. A very very clean and very well engineered car! This was not made from a rotter!

No heres the good bit. Its been inspected by the DVLA. If you know your minis and modifications then you will know that with the new DVLA/VOSA laws this is a gold mine! its FULLY road legal! Not some back street bodge up sold on ebay for a few grand thats only going to fail an IVA and is in all aspects worthless!The V5 states that this is a rebuilt car.

I am only selling as I need the space to finish the BMW mini limo I have.  

This car with a few minor touches and a little extra bling could be a £6k car. Why? because its legit and correctly/very well built and in fantastic order.  
Insurance value is currently £7k 

I am selling at a fair price so no offers.

The car comes complete with a new tonneau cover made from high quality marine grade materials that cost £650 alone. the type you see on expensive boats etc.  
The seat has been re trimmed and its a lovely place to sit. Much more so than a normal mini as you have nice legroom in this.  

I have receipts for the parts changed and I have spent a small fortune. It never misses a beat and is the most fun I've ever had with my pants on!! this is a serious bucket list car.  

Don't buy this if you are shy. Forget it. People love this car and flock to you at every petrol station going!
People take pictures and videos and generally fall over themselves to chat to you.

You get more attention than a £100k ferrari. Honest and Ive proved it at shows.  

Come an see the condition for yourself. br>
This is a rare opportunity at sensible money. You could not build this at this spec yourself for less. and if you were to pay the labour to have one like this made then you would be broke! 

The rough stuff: 

I wont mess you around or waste your time so please read the listing fully before making contact.  
I will not call mobile numbers or entertain cheque offers. AT ALL! 
People wanting me to call them back will have to leave a landline contact number.  

This is my own car and I'm only selling to fun a long running project.  
drip of oil from the selector seal (its a mini after all)Stainless exhaust could do with the angle changing.

Terms:
Payment upon collection. There is no warranty. guarantees or any kind and the car is sold as is upon inspection. You are welcome to have the AA/Rac or other reputable company inspect this vehicle. You will not be allowed to have bob from down the road to strip the vehicle. This is a classified listing and as such you are welcomed to view and inspect the car and make your own mind up on condition. No guarantees on condition are made. This is still a 26 yr old mini and as such will require regular maintenance and tuning etcNo cheques. no bank transfers and no Nigerian goat herding princes. Yeah I know the scams.
I do not know how to export cars and will not sell without the new owner viewing first.
 A cracking car! at a bargain price!! you would never get something this cool and this fun at this money again. No offers.
