Highly modified classic Mini, 1380, ICE, Flip front, Custom bodywork

This Auction is for my Heavily Modified Classic Mini.

I have had this car for 10 years and it has been taken from a shed to what you see in the pictures.
The car has been fully stripped down and many of the components are new. or have been refurbished.
The spec list is very long. however if you're seriously interested then I guess the more detail the better :)
The car was completed in 2010 and MOT'd at that point.

It has covered only about 6-650 miles since then running the engine in.

I have never taken it past 4500 rpm while running it in.

However the engine now needs to be properly set up on a rolling road to get the best out of the engine. and improve the fuel economy!
The car has been declared SORN for the last 15 months as I currently really don't have the time to get the rolling road set up done.

Currently the car has no MOT as a result.

This car has a lot of stuff crammed into it. it's loud and always a head turner especially the front end and even without the engine being fully set up. when the cam kicks in it goes really well.
This is not a car for a novice and it can be a real handful. but a hell of a lot of fun!
