RELUCTANT SALE OF MY LONG TERM PROJECT



Due to change in circumstances and now not having enough room and wishing to finish my Works Rally Mini replica my long term project is up for sale.

I have own her since 28th March 2005 she has 3 owners from new, when I 1st got her the back seats had never even been sat on and had a genuine 25,000 miles on the clock.


I drove her round for a few years before another Mini came available and I put her in to storage in September 2007 with only 40,000 miles on the clock.


She was stripped of all her parts as i planned to turn her into a lightweight, fast road MINI. I put on a spit, the outer sills were then removed, and I began to strip off all the layers of waxoil that laid beneath her.


The sound pads have all been removed and cleaned to save weight from inside.


The engine bay has been cleaned as so have under all the arches.

She then has been in storage and I have done bits along the way as I have building my other project for my wedding in 2012, then got heavy involved with that, my plan was to then start this project again in summer 2014. Sadly this will never happen and she now has to find a new owner.

sorry i gotta laugh i read lightweight and the picture that greeted me did not disappoint!

its got nothing on it
