i am currently restoring a Austin Mini Advantage and i require the details about the interior and external parts and paint colours, i also require all the interior for it so if any one knows some for sale please contact me by message.

 

Thanks Kurt

The advantage like many 80's LE's would have had Nimbus coloured trim so that would be wheel arch spats, sill trims, roof gutter trim, door mirrors and door/boot handles.

 

Painfully, Nimbus trim is very very hard to get hold of used and is non existent new although wheel arch spats and NOS door handles do come up from time to time.

 

as for the paint code, i'm not sure but obviously White and the tennis net graphics down the sides.

 

Interiors do come up occasionally on eBay so you need to keep your eyes peeled.

This advert should give you some clues too as you don't get more original than that

I've got some Mayfair wheel trims. Grey obviously, but painted white, they would be fine. Good nick.
I'll also have some grey door handles soon.

Good call Ellie, i had forgotten about the White Mayfair style wheel trims

I also have an Advantage, mine came with some really dodgy replacement seats although it did have the original front seats included in the sale, I did then spend 18 months searching the Internet for rear seats that I had to do a 400 mile round trip to collect.
Then 2 weeks later missed out on a full interior only an hour away that went for £40! Gutted

If you need the decals for the car sticky fingers does a repro set that are good quality and good value .

Ben is right about the nimbus grey items and a good shout by Ellie , I can get you the paint code in a week if you need it as I'm currently on hols in Cyprus

I've got the full set, you're welcome to pop down and take a look.
I'm also in Lanson.
I'm near the codfather, you've probably seen my minis in my car park.
