Paddy is fantastic car, runs brilliantly with split webber carbs, done many mini trips around France with no issues, gets lots and lots of attention.
Paddy undertook a full nut and bolt restoration at Coventry Classic Minis @johnadams who has a fantastic reputation.
Age, health and daughters house deposit reason for selling what is a much loved car.
Heartbreaking to let it go (genuinely)its a head turner, it sounds great and it runs great :)
