Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 470 votes

I bought this pick up in need of a full restoration in July 2009.

Over the next few years she was stripped apart and fully rebuilt and resprayed. No expense was spared with the restoration and parts were generally replaced.

She featured in the September 2013 edition of Mini World and I have this feature as a PDF if people wish to read it.

The engine has just been overhauled again. this was after the previous engine builder decided during the build to fit a standard oil control ring to no 3 piston. All new engine work was carried out by Tyre and Tech in Lincoln (engine colour is now green)

Spec is a follows

1275cc SPi block overbored 0. 060" to give 1330cc. head modified by Tyre and Tech. bronze valve guides and stage 3 spec. new cam installed based on T&T recommendations. 13/4" HIF 44 carb. with LCB and Playmini Stainless Steel exhaust. New oil pump and duplex timing chain fitted. Aldon Fast Road dizzy fitted.

Fast road clutch and X pin differential

Brakes. Non servo assisted. 4 Pot Alloy calipers and vented  discs up front and the KAD rear disc conversion on the back.

All subframes powder coated. all bushes renewed with Poly ones. Fitted with P&L coil springs. hi lo's and KYB dampers. 1. 5 degree Negative camber front and rear

GB alloys reconditioned and powdercoated in Black. fitted with Yoko A032 tyres. all brand new.

Interior. leather seats trimmed by Ashley James. Cooper S 130mph magnolia Speedo and auxy gauges. in wooden three piece dash. wood rimmed steering wheel. all carpets supplied by Newton Commercial.

Load bed. is covered in American Oak planks protected with Yacht varnish.

Mini was on the road for a year before I took her off again. head gasket failed which prompted the engine removal and rebuild. then I moved home. Engine is now back and been running

Very reluctant sale. but work commitments and other mini project means she is not getting used and just gathering dust when she should be out at shows.
