Description
Comprehensively restored Mini Mk1 Deluxe, originally an 850cc model, now fitted with a 998cc engine, twin SU carbs, and a 4-synchro gearbox with remote shift. Almond Green with white roof.
Fresh MOT (May 2025) with no advisories.
Body shell completely stripped and rebuilt by the previous owner with many new panels to a very good standard. Photographic record provided.
Much work done over the last two years to improve this car for performance and reliability:
Cylinder Head professionally refurbished, with valve seats for unleaded petrol.
Professionally rebuilt carbs; new fuel pump; Maniflow full exhaust system.
Gearbox and differential rebuilt by Somerford Minis
New clutch, duplex timing chain, oil pump.
New wiring loom. New windscreen (laminated)
Refurbished speedometer.
Fully adjustable (hi/ lo) suspension with Bilstein dampers. New steering rack.
Front 7. 5" Cooper S type disc brake conversion; rear drums are Cooper S type. Five Cooper S spec 4. 5" x 10" wheels with Yokohama Advan tyres in excellent condition.
Quick-release grille (original chrome Morris grille in excellent condition included in the sale). Halogen headlights fitted; original sealed beam headlights provided.
Interior: original rear seat in very good condition. Front seats (cushions and covers are by Newton Commercial, and an excellent match. All instruments work well and illuminate. Original head lining with period tinted sun visors. Courtesy lights in the rear parcel bins: an original Deluxe feature, I believe, now rarely seen. All the rest of the trim has been replaced. I have spent a lot of time and money completing this car to a very good standard, and it drives very well with brisk acceleration, excellent handling and great brakes. It is ready for a summer of fun.
