1997 AUSTIN MINI CLASSIC 1275 SPEEDSTER CUSTOM SHORTY CHOP SOLD

Hello and welcome to the sale of this amazing custom Mini! This car has been carefully and thoughtfully modified with a ‘speedster’ theme. It has been thoroughly strengthened throughout and is very solid on the road. All the panels are metal and the original steel roof panel has been used to the rear. The shell is solid and not rusty. It has a 998cc bottom end mated to a 1275 big valve head on twin SU carbs, making it a very lively and rev happy engine! It also has the ERA style wide arch body kit and Cobra bucket seats, and with a wooden sports steering wheel.
I have just had a thorough recommissioning carried out at a cost of over £2000, including fully rebuilt suspension front and rear, new big bore exhaust, new brake and fuel lines, engine service and tune, along with a brand new MOT. I have also fitted the brand new deep dish Minilight style alloys with brand new tyres. The paintwork has been done to a decent home standard by the previous owner, with some room for professional improvement if you desired. Please call for the full spec as too much to list here. To sum up this is a unique opportunity to acquire a very well sorted and head turning classic Mini, it’s a whole lot of fun and ready for the new owner to enjoy!
