61,000 miles
MOT until August 2013
Tax until 31/03/2013

Very reluctant sale due to needing a new car for new job (lots of motorway miles)

I have owned the car for five years and has been fantastic to own and drive. This is my daily driver and starts first time every time.

The car was resprayed a few years ago with all the rust cut out and replaced with new panels (by professional). The bodywork is in very good condition, however there are a couple of very minor (and I mean minor) rust scabs and a few other imperfections.

Good points:

1275 conversion runs extremely well
New suspension cones replaced last couple of weeks ago, car is still sitting a little high as these should settle further.
Gaz adjustable shocks
Hi lo suspension all round
Poly top mounts and solid front mounts
Electronic ignition conversion
Number plate light conversion
Rear fog lamp conversion
Mountney Steering wheel
13” Minilites with two fairly new continental tyres
Play mini exhaust system with maniflow manifold
K&N air filter
Red carpet with black door cards and black rear seat
MP3 CD player with Aux input
6x9 Speakers under the rear seat
Re conditioned rear subframe

There are lots of other parts that have been replaced like ball joints, radius arms etc

Bad points:
As mentioned above, minor rust scabs only noticed on very close inspection (reflected in price)
Rear bumper is slightly pitted
Front seats are grey and are a bit worn, these have been put in after removing my bucket seats

This is a great car that you can just jump in and drive without having to do lots of work unlike most minis.

MORE pictures to follow later today

Car is located 10 mins from junction 6 of M25,

Please feel free to ask me any questions on 07870 996 081

Price to sell at £2,700,
