Unfortunately the time has come to say good bye to this one
For Sale: Fully rebuilt, fast road / track day / sprint / generally cool looking mini
A lot of you will know the story behind this car but for those of you that don’t I will fill you in
I bought the car in 2003 and over a period of about 3 years it was totally rebuilt using new parts throughout and many 1 off parts where necessary. The car was completed in June 2006 and after attending a few shows was featured in Mini Magazine January 2007 issue. The car was retired over the winter to fix a few teething troubles and was put back on the road in April. Since then I have only done a few hundred miles in it and that leaves the mileage at a miniscule 900miles since a full rebuild! It has been fully run-in and rolling roaded showing a strong 65bhp from the 1100cc engine but I don’t really get a chance to use it so I have decided to sell to make way for some new projects
I think the pictures speak for them selves; the car is in extremely good condition and has cost me £1000s and 100s of hour’s hard work! Although it has a few minor issues still to iron out it could be put into use straight away!
The car is crammed full of one off fabrication and parts, the most obvious being the wheels that I made myself and I have received offers of over £1000 alone!
Minor bad points include
• Tyres need replacing
• Rear shocks bottom out over large bumps (this can be fixed by fitting shorter shocks from a metro, available from GAZ for just £50 each!!)
• The roof has some slight scratches and chips to the paint where a roof rack was fitted but it would not take much work to put them right.
The car is MOT’d until June 2008 and taxed until October 2007
