With me living in Australia, my mini has been in storage for 4 years and it's time to sell it :(
It's located in N.Ireland and has only driven 600 miles since I restored it from a bare shell.

Was a Brithish Racing Green standard MPI Cooper., 3 years worth of restoration, fully bare shell rebuild including heritage panels and an Island Blue/Old English White respray worth £2000!, , The entire car has been coated in POR15 rust presentation paint, so no rush here!!! I've photos of the paint job during and after if your interested.

The engine is a Stage 3 with MED Head, Swiftune Cam, Maniflow exhaust, wide throttle body, duplex timing gear and 1.5 roller rockers., The manifold has been widened and fitted with K&N induction. The gearbox has been rebuild to 3.44 final drive and has straight cut drop gears which sound fun! For an injection Mini, this can shift!, , Mk 1 grille and badges.

I have receipts for all the engine components, panels, paint and everything else, a folder full!

The interior has a rare Moto Lita John Cooper wooden wheel, matched original dash from Rover with cream clocks and original Corbeau bucket seats with harness!, , Suspension has been rebuilt, is fully adjustable with Kayaba shocks and the car sits on 10x6 Ultralites with Yokohama tyres.


I was going for a MK2 rally look with this rebuild., I'm living in Australia, but the car is at my parents house, ready for sale/viewing. The number to contact is my father who knows lots on the car so please ask any questions., , ££££'s spent on this little pocket rocket and once you see it, you will want it! , I've obviously not listed everything, but my dad has a full engine/rebuilt spec sheet he can forward to anybody interested.

I'm the 3rd owner and started the project in 2008 but I moved to Australia in 2014. The car has hardly been driven, needs an MOT but if your serious,mi can get that sorted if it's a deal breaker (was MOT'd until 2014). Only thing it needs is a new heater matrix. It starts first time and drives perfectly. Probably needs a minor service due to being sat around for last few years.

PM me through this site or here's a link to the Autotrader ad with my fathers contact number etc. he's happy to chat to anyone keen on this little mini. I'm happy to chat also, but there will be a time difference. Looking £7200ish

Wow! :gimme:

Shame you have to sell but if it never gets out, it's better this way....

 

 

 

PS: If you can keep it another 4 years I'll happily take it off you!!!

Yeah, if no one takes it off my hands, it'll go away so I'll hit you up in 4 years.
Seriously a massive shame, hardly used since the work was done. Looked at importing it but I bought a Jap spec over here (although it might be for sale soon)
Thanks though!

Sad to see this Tony (especially when i know what money went into it!) but best to let it be driven I guess.
