Body Shell.

This Mini is in its original shell and believed to be only a few left like this. Some of the work was done by Paul Wiginton Classic Body Works.Where not required original panels have been kept and repaired with steel to a very high standard.  The sills have been replaced with the correct sills from M-Machine and all rust removed both front and rear. The car has its original doors which have been professionally re-skinned and new rear quarters. The entire body has been resprayed in and out with 2 pack Austin Maroon with and English white roof. Seams have been waxoyled, and floors have been undersealed from outside / inside coated with tinted bed liner to protect the cars body for many years to come.

Interior

The shell has a correctly fitted FIA safety devices bolt in cage complete with diagonal and welded in pads. A must for those fun track days or for an owner that wants to go just a little bit further. The car is fitted with both interiors the original interior including a large steering wheel for events, and a OMP hard-shelled bucket seat with full harness for track days. All seats have had their diaphragms replaced where neccesary and given a deep clean to retain a vintage patina. 

The mini is registered as a classic car with the DVLA, it is both MOT and Tax free.  The car comes with its original logbook, and Heritage certificate. My last insurance premium for the car with an agreed value of 30K was GBP56 per anum.
