Classic Mini 998 1986 'D'
I bought this little mini as a project. It started life as a 998 automatic. In true stereotypical automatic ownership, it had previously been owned by several old ladies and well cared for, with a genuine 60,000 miles. I then bought a 998 manual Mayfair 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 Mayfair 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. 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.
