Time for a new project or two, so it's up for sale. Pictures below:

1996 Single Point Injection Rover Mini, fully restored (properly with a welder!). Approx 89000 miles, still in use. MOT and Tax till March.


New front panel, A panels, wings, inner and outer sills floors and door skins. Resprayed and waxoyled, no rust or oversills in sight. Respray was last year, so any rust that was going to appear would have by now.

All subframe mounts front and rear replaced, subframes zinc primered and painted gloss black (almost as good as galvanising). New Kuniffer brake pipes, shoes, pads and rear cylinders. All ball joints and CV boots have been replaced. Practically everything on this car has been removed and not been replaced unless new or as good as.

Interior, new carpets, door and window seals, does not leak at all! Sound system available subject to negotiation, otherwise will come with Sony headunit and Vibe door pocket speakers (still far better than the standard parcel shelf affair). Well sound proofed and deadened. Original seats and door cards in good clean condition. 52mm rev counter and lighter socket in dash.

Engine wise, brand new Maniflow twin box exhaust system (the best performing and quietest option) and Maniflow manifold. Reconditioned MG metro big valve unleaded head and new engine steady bushes. Just been serviced with new plugs, K&N air filter, Millers Mini oil and oil filter plus all joints greased. New fan belt and 88c thermostat. Engine starts first time every time even in winter and no smoke, rattles or gear crunches.

Genuine Rover spot lights and Wipac halogen headlights, on par with a modern car. Remote central locking and alarm system fitted and fully operational. 5x12 alloy wheels with no kerbing and good Falken tyres, ~5mm front and nearly new on the back.

Will stick a fresh MOT on if requested. £3995 ONO. Yes it's absolute top dollar for this model but it's as tidy as you'll find one with plenty of upgrades.

Not got a new car and can't insure both so don't want to leave it on the drive rotting. £3k any takers?

Thanks - not even going to add up how much it's cost me but it was worth it. Going to pick up it's (even older!) replacement in the morning.

You'll be pleased to know it's living in the garage whilst the Golf has taken up residence on the drive!

Spent the afternoon on it and have removed all the ICE and wiring bar the headunit and 6.5'' front speakers, which is how it will be sold. Any takers, it's ready to go?

Sold to a very nice man and his son who will take good care of it, they turned up in a blue sportspack to take a look. Bye bye mini :(
