I bought this little mini as a project. It started life as a 998 automatic with a broken gearbox. In true stereotypical automatic ownership, it had previously been owned by several old ladies and well cared for, with a genuine 58,000 miles. I then bought a 1275 manual Cooper with a rough body, but sound engine. The engine has covered a genuine 65,000 miles, so very close to the mileage on the clocks. The Cooper was used as a donor car to convert from automatic to manual, with many new parts used. 100's of man hours and £1000's have been spent to get this little mini up to the very high standard you see today. I managed to get it finished in time for the Brooklands Mini Day where it got many admirers and photos taken. The mini has only covered 100 miles since completion, but I've had my fun and it's now time to sell it on and let somebody else enjoy this lovely little thing.
