This Mini is finished to the very highest standard. It was originally prepared by TDK Racing and raced in the Dunlop Mini Miglia championship by Dave Kimberley. Since then the car has undergone a full restoration and has been converted for use on the road. Since the restoration the car has only covered 250 miles and has NEVER been used on winter roads or in the rain!
The car has MOT till May 2014 and is taxed until April 2014 (TAX FREE 1971 car).

Last winter the car was taken back to a bare shell and has been fully rebuilt and restored. All rust was cut out or treated if it was superficial. Mounting bolts, nuts, fixtures etc. have all been reconditioned or replaced. Bolt on components, subframes, interior etc. have all been reconditioned and painted etc.
