Description
Purchased this little car back in late 2006 as a daily drive off retroracer1380 after he had just done a semi resto on it replacing a few panels and generally tidying it up.
Then in early 2007 I went and treated it to a 1330 replacement engine (see topic http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/index...=40269&st=0 for full build and pictures) since then really the cars been off the road undergoing upgrades and tweaks only getting back just in time for L2B 08 which it did flawlessly for its first drive on a new re-built engine.
Its completely stripped atm with harnesses but wouldn't take a lot to just put some rear seats in and some carpet, heater is still present as i am not that hardcore.
The car itself doesn’t get used that much and has only really done Beaulieu Cooper Day and general trips around the area incl 2 Ace Cafe evenings when its sunny (I try not to let it see rainy days and its stays under its cover)
i have really done to many mods on this car to list them all but will list the main ones but please see links below for full mod lists
• MegaJolt Ignition System
• X-Pin Diff
• Cooper-S Brake Conversion
• Mocal Oil Cooler
• Safety Devices 6 Point Roll Cage
• Maniflow LCB & Miglia Style Exhaust Straight through Cone System
• 10x6 Gloss Black Wellers (incl 2 x spare)
• Snap-Off Boss Kit

Overall this car needs a RR but drives effortlessly on the MejaJolt Map loaded. Has some rust under the driver’s scuttle/A panel (the normal place) but not much else where and generally is a solid clean shell and i will miss it lots
Also comes with car cover,retro roof-rack as used in the rallys, 2x 10x6 wellers as spares and nots of other spares incl clocks etc
The engine pulls very well and is a pleasure to drive even if its just around town or you want to have that power to overtake something. Its just a very smooth engine that delivers when you want or is happy to sit in traffic.
