INTERIOR

The interior has been superbly finished and will appeal to the enthusiast. From the moment

you settle into the period OMP racing bucket seats and have in front of you the OMP suede

deep dish steering wheel and the added rev counter it feels and smells very nostalgic. ven

down to the period LUCAS and CASTROL stickers which really finishes it off.

EXTERIOR

When this lovely Mini was restored approx 3 years ago. the shell was stripped back to bare

metal inside and out. The shell was then treated with an anti-corrosion zinc coating. The

underside has been stone guarded. The shell has been finished in a high solids 2 pack paint

finished in flame red with a gloss black roof.

It has then the finishing touches of the period stickers. (these can be removed if desired)

Although the restoration was 3 years ago. I would describe the condition as A1 and looks

better in the flesh than the photo's.
