Full service history with JCG doing most of the regular servicing up to 2001, the second owner took it to ML Motorsport in Kent in 2002 - 2007 for servicing and maintenance as required. In 2002 MLM changed the gearbox final drive ration to 3:1 from the original 2. 76 in order to improve acceleration. The roller rockers were removed and replaced with standard typer in order to improve low end torque from the engine, the flywheel was also lightened and balanced and the front sub-frame buses replaced with uprated items. In January 2007 the exhaust system was replaced with the correct Cooper Specification Janspeed system. From 2007 - present all servicing and maintenance has been carried out by The East Anglian Mini Centre. Car is fitted with Yokohama tyres all year round.
All servicing and repairs and upgrades are fully documented in a history file included with the car including receipts and service book, handbook and ‘mini’ folder.
Car has always been garaged and is considered to be in extremely good order and viewing is highly recommended.
