Hi, do any of you no much about the 1983 mini Sprite? Or own one? Even have parts for them? Mines in primula yellow and need help on a few bits, and trying to locate a few items!! Cheers

I used to know someone who had a red one (more orange though) that had only done 24k from new and was totally original, that I occasionally used to work on. They are basically a mini city with a 998 fitted with the 2.9 diff, drum brakes all round, 10" mini special/extraction wheels, black exterior trim (bumpers, door handles etc.) basic city interior with the dash/120mph clocks from the clubman gt.

Cheers for that! I'm in desperate need for the front seats! They're a herringbone style in these but I can't find them anywhere

Seats will be hard to find as they were fitted to the less desirable models and would be the first thing most would rip out and replace.
