CLASSIC MINI WITH 1275 MG METRO ENGINE
IT STARTED LIFE AS A 1985 MINI MAYFAIR.
ONE OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS HAD DECIDED TO MODIFY THE CAR TO HIS OWN SPEC.
IT RECEIVED A PURPLE SPRAY JOB, 1275cc MG METRO ENGINE,
MG METRO RUNNING GEAR WITH 4 POT METRO CALIPERS AND AEROQUIP HOSES ALL ROUND.
A 3 CLOCK FULL WIDTH DASH, QUICK SHIFT GEAR LEAVER AND MOUNTNEY STEERING WHEEL.
THE LOG BOOK STATES THAT THE CAR HAS DONE 16,000 MILES
BUT I SUSPECT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHO CHANGED THE ENGINE ALSO FITTED THE NEW DASH AT THE SAME TIME. HENCE THE LOW MILAGE.
NEEDLES TO SAY: THAT THE ENGINE STARTS FIRST TIME EVERY TIME AND RUNS VERY SMOOTHLY, ALSO BEING A 1275 IT MAKES THIS CAR VERY NIPPY INDEED.
THE CAR ALSO HAS:
- SPAX ADJUSTABLE DAMPERS
- NEW CV JOINTS,BALL JOINTS, TRACKROD ENDS, WHEEL BEARINGS,DIFF SEALS
- HI-LO ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION AND POLYBUSHED ALL ROUND.

THE CAR ALSO HAS BRAND NEW: DOOR, BOOT AND REAR QUARTER WINDOW SEALS.
BRAND NEW STAILESS STEEL BUMPERS, GRILL AND CHROME DOOR MIRRORS.
BRAND NEW FRONT SEAT BELTS AND CARPET .
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, THIS MINI HAS HAD A BRAND NEW INTERIOR.
THE SEATS AND DOOR CARDS HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REFURBISHED BY:
SPIRIT OF THE 50`s OF SUTTON COLDFIELD.
CAR HAS HAD A RESPRAY IN MILANO RED WITH A CLEAR COAT FINISH.
FINISHED WITH MINI COOPER LAURALS, PIN STRIPES AND JOHN COOPER SIGNATURE BONNET LOGO`S.
