POSTING ON BEHALF OF A FRIEND SO PLEASE DIRECT ANY QUERIES TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS OR PHONE NUMBER. THANKS

The full front end has been replaced.

Monte Carlo wheel arches

The underside, engine bay, wheel arches - everywhere has been painted and the underside and wheel arches have been Waxoyled

All glass is in as new condition all fitted with new seals and all of the lights are as new.

The interior has a Safety Devices six point roll cage, with Cobra Monaco Pro FIA approved seats with subframes and Securon harnesses - all as new condition. The headlining, door cards and gauges are all as new (although the door cards could do with being refitted) and the steering wheel is a genuine Motolita wooden rim with original matching boss. All switch gear was brand new.

Wheels and tyres - the car is shown with 10" Star Mags but I also have a set of 5 Cooper S Reverse Rim replicas with centre caps, painted old English white - which can be bought separately. Both have almost new tyres.

The braking system has been replaced using all new components, including braided hoses, back plates and Cooper Discs, pads etc. All suspension was new and all bushes and mounts were replaced, hi-lows are fitted and the tie bars have been uprated.

Front and rear subframes have both been removed and been shot blasted and powdercoated before being rebuilt / fitted.

The engine has been replaced with a 1275 cc unit which was removed from a low mileage car - believed to be around 40,000 miles - although I can't provide evidence. All service items were replaced and the car is running a Maniflow Magic pipe and Minispares RC 40 exhaust.

As you can imagine, the car is in a very sound state, it drives very well, starts every time. The clutch has begun to slip so will need replacing shortly. The bodywork is cosmetically a little untidy and I have noticed a bit of surface rust under the door window trims and the headlight trim rims are starting to go (looks like it will polish off). I had planned to repaint the Mini, but just haven't got around to it - once painted you would have an amazing little Mini or you can just drive it as it is and enjoy it.

I've detailed as much information as I can, but I have a full ring binder folder full of photos for the work completed on the car and a huge amount of receipts for the replacement parts.

NOW SOLD THANKS
