Bits about the car.
The engine was in my first mini and had completed 7240 miles before the shell was beyond repair. I then purchased this mini and transplanted the engine into it with the mileage showing to be 74428 in July 2000 it now reads 82509ish and so another 8081 miles so the estimated engine run time is 15321.
The car was driven when I first got it and then spent years in a barn before undergoing a rebuild in April 2015. This included a huge amount of welding and a full mechanical build. The car was used for a while before then undergoing a respray and other remedial panel work such as wings, door skins, boot etc.
The car has been well looked after and driven for fun during the summer months and only in the dry. Unfortunately due to the loss of dry storage the time has come to sell the car and allow someone else to enjoy the fun of it.
It's straight and tidy but will require ongoing works as all old cars do. It's a very reluctant sale as it was in fact my first mini reborn but I have no storage and at 48 think it's time to let her go.
It's a real head turner and will come with a spare set of wheels and a few bits in a box that I'll no longer require.
Viewings welcome and happy to talk over any of the details. Loads of receipts and pictures from the builds adding to its history.
