Car is in exceptional condition and mechanically requires no work. It will start from one month to the next and has never let me down over the last 8 years running this engine. It was on the road for several years and then I used it for track use so is not MOT’d. It is still road legal and everything works as it should. This car does not get used in the wet and is stored in a dry garage.
V5 is present with correct engine number and CC all registered with the DVLA as it should be.
The engine is extremely strong having had a rebuild 2000 miles ago. It is serviced after every track day.
Suspension and brakes are all as new having done very little work and are checked regularly.
I have a folder full of history and receipts for the car totalling close to £12000. This does not include any labour costs or the original shell purchase.
Only reason for sale is lack of use and I am taking up autograss so need the space.
It is a very sad and reluctant sale as I have been in ownership of this mini for nearly 20 years but I feel it is time to move on.
I am struggling to put a value on this mini as I believe it to be one of the highest spec’d 16V minis out there.
As such I am advertising it for £8500.
Location is Bristol.

Will update with pictures on request but I am sure most people know of this mini.
