Included in the restoration was a bare metal refinish to the paintwork and a gearbox and engine rebuild carried out to a very high standard by Bill Richards Racing, including a rebore to 1, 293cc.
Presented in factory specification of B. M. C. Island Blue with an Old English White roof the Mini looks fantastic and drives superbly.
