& many, many other trick bits on this classic mini.
A cliche, but this is a true "no expense spared" example here. Nearly everything on this car is next to new. There is no rust at all on this car - since rebuild it hasn't seen rain or wet roads.
I can confidently say this will be the cleanest example of a 998 classic mini you will find. Over 30, 000 spent on this rebuild, with over 25, 000 in invoices.
A collection of spares are included:
Head
Gearbox
Carburettor
2x front seats
rear & front arms
& other bits
Specialist mini tools can be included - ask for more details.
More - Insta: @polythepocketrocketThe car is a show stopper. Absolutely no rust at all - the car has not seen rain or wet roads since its rebuild in 2023. Interior is stand out - the retrimmed seats, new roof liner and new carpets make the interior as fresh as the exterior.
A rare 12G295 Cooper head (unleaded converted) is the standout feature of the engine.
