standard 1.3 twin point injection at the moment, hopefully at some point i'll be fitting an LCB and RC40 etc.
it was built for the motorshow at the NEC in birmingham back in 97 (from what I understand), it was due to be shipped off to japan afterwards but the GF's old man bought it for her birthday present, and its been with her eversince. wasn't a special spec or anything, just the overriders etc half leather interior etc, clean top of the range cooper.
its gotten a little rusty where it lived on brighton seafront for 5 years and so the usual places need sorting, A-panels bottoms of the doors and under the headlights and windscreen, they just all have a little bubbling under the paint.
its kept its colour amazingly though, not faded at all like most red paints.
