The Appeal

It’s one of the joys of Mini motoring that a car like this, which began as a basic, functional suburban runaround, can be transformed into something to individual and interesting. Thanks to an extensive restoration by the previous keeper it is now painted in Dove Grey, fitted with smart reverse rims, Cooper S disc brake conversion and a bespoke sports-themed interior,

It is all very tastefully done, as you can check in the photos, and presents well. Beneath the bonnet is a fully rebuilt 998cc engine equipped with a new clutch and running through a replacement exhaust. The car is said to run and drive well and was last serviced in August 2025.

The vendor acquired the car in June 2025 and has continued to invest in its condition and running. 2026 work has included welding repairs plus fitting a new temperature gauge, thermostat and distributor cap. It comes with a nice package of spares detailed below and shown in photos.

The car comes with long MOT showing no advisories. A very tidy, nicely modified example of the brilliant Mini.

The vendor says:

“The car starts and runs well, as it has had a full restoration, the car is currently running well. All modifications have been highlighted above and pictures will also reflect that the car is a very different car to what was first made.

“It is a lovely looking car, it runs well and it turns heads and gets lots of positive comments when out and about.”
