Description
30 years ago my father bought a white Mini Cooper and donor shell. As well as a good 850 mini in the same purchase. I then bought an Iris Blue MGB. Across the years he built the 850 mini which we won our class in the Monte-Carlo 2000 rally and an MGA for me (cover car practical classics). The Iris blue is nearly finished now (honest) but that is for me to do. The parts for the cooper were steadily restored but he never started the shell and now at 81 forced retirement means it needs to be sold.
The photos show lots of items and the deal is to go through and get the best of items and end up with one of everything you need. Plus all the nickel plated nuts bots etc you need. So you are not buying every multiple in the pics you get the best of one of each that you need to build all the car.
Question and calls received from Monday 1st September. Viewing Friday 5th September to Monday 8th September inclusive. Please do not contact before as I am not available until the Monday.
Body shell. Donor month accurate shell which had been converted to cooper in the very distant past. Location of sun visors is the important distinction my father says. Shell is in good condition for age with doors (You get the pick out of several sets) same for bonnet and boot. Lots of new panels including either full floors or part floors, there is a new rear panel and lots more to sort through to get the panels you need.
Trim. Full set original repaired with new foams etc. See the pics. The roof lining is new and fitted to frame and wrapped, in plastic also.
Engine. Block and gearbox rully rebuilt by my father. Bottom end fully balanced. Head to do, Carbs fully rebuilt. All correct numbers.
Sub Frames. Blasted, powder coated and fully refurbished suspension again all new bushes etc. These are under plastic at end of lock up and I could not photograph as need two people to move to them and get them down.
Brakes 7 inch fully rebuilt. See pics. May have a servo plus rebuild kit but not sure which of the several may be mini. Set of wheels blasted and painted. Although he also has a set of Dunlops if you would want instead of the originals.
Heater. Fully rebuilt in new black and I found the decals at the house also.
Glass. Two sets. Father thinks both are correct for the cooper but one definitely is the cooper set all cleaned.
Chrome. Take your pick of the best. See pics needs a clean after being put on shelf but very good stuff for original items.
Lights. See pics. Some new some new old stock and some fully restored. There is some boxes of 576/ 700 Lucas spots but all will need restoring. So bonus if we can put some together for you but will have to see what there is.
Other. New steering wheel and lots of black work all to get the best ones for a full set for your rebuild. Same for all new rubbers and felts. Electicals. See pics for lots to pick from.
