Selling due to lack of funds, and going in a new direction in my life, I cannot now keep this mini. I have put a lot of work and money into this car, and this was also my first car and will be sadly missed. Genuine buyers only please who will look after her. Ideal for a young driver who wants a mini with low insurance group and which they do not have to worry about rust or replacement parts.
As this is a classic mini please be aware that they will require slightly more love and attention than a modern car to stay at their best. However all the hard work has already been done and the new owner can maintain and customise it as they wish.
Viewing is a must, and I welcome you to be as through as possible, bring your own mechanic or the AA etc if you would like to. I have loads of photos of the resto work I can show you and will provide tea/coffee and any tools you may need for inspection. And talk through the work carried out. You can also test drive the car on my property.
If you have any questions or would like to view etc please send me a message and I will get back to you and send my contact number if you wish to talk over the phone.
The advertised price also includes £320 for a set of new tyres (yokohama A539), which it will need for the M.O.T test. However I will knock that off if the new owner wants to choose and pay for another type of there preference.

PLEASE NOTE:
I am afraid that the driver’s door is a little rusty on the inside bottom. (Can’t be seen from outside) It was removed before the restoration work, stored and that was missed out. (Would just like to be honest) apart from that the mini is rust free now. I am afraid that I do not now have the time to fix it. However the mini with come with paint to respray any replacement door.
There is also door furniture fitted so ignor that fact there is none in the photos.
