This week i was lucky enough to come across this very rare Limited edition mini.
Ive have never heard of this model until i searched why the door rubbers were colour code!!!
So after posting a few places people went wild with offers and comments.
Seem as though its quite a rare car in an unmolested state.
impressive wind deflector, original radio and speaker, tax discs from 1980, basically its a time warp mini
It was last on the road back in 1990 where is was parked up and left in a garage until 3 years ago where a mate of mine bought it to rebuild with his son (big arches 1275 etc) i told him back then to leave it as standard..... thankfully he it stayed in his garage for another 3 years and i stepped in and bought it Thursday night.
So ive got it in the garage and had a look.... its had 2 oversills, small patch on both rear arches and thats it. ive got it running and its smooth and quiet. Brakes are shot but what do you expect for 27 years off the road.
after alot of people comment and input im going to restore this mini, as there is nothing missing off the car i dont have to source any original parts so should be a straight forward resto.
Ive got to finish my clubman off and sort out some storage then i may start this soon.
Heres some pics to keep you occupied
