I restored this car over a period of 18 months for my eldest son. Unfortunately he doesnt want it!. I have spent over £5 k rebuilding it and have a wad of receipts for all of the parts. No expense has been spared and the whole car is mechanically superb with everything renewed.

The insurance company have given me an agreed valuation of £4. 5 k only from seeing pics of the car.

The car does need a professional re-spray as I sprayed the car in my garage and due to moisture in the air some paint has lifted and there is some surface rust that needs attention. I have been quoted £1300 for a pro respray by a paint guy in Felixstowe. I can pass on these details.
As you can see the car was extensively restored after being off the road since 2002. The car has been given a 998 Cooper look with minilite wheels. cooper badges and black roof.

The speedo needs to be recalibrated as the diff in the gearbox is lower ratio as the car was originally an automatic and I converted it to a manual.
I am open to offers so come and have a look and make me an offer. The car has to go as I am moving house and can't take four cars with me!
