After a lot of deliberation I have decided to sell my mini. I no longer have time to complete the car and to be honest I have too many toys and have enjoyed building this mini more than I think I will enjoy driving it.

 

Its an 87 mini and I own the V5 which is in my name.

 

Spec:

 

New 13" ultralites

New Gaz shocks all round

New hi-lo all round 

New poly bushes all round

New aluminium race seats

New Sparco 4 points

New Mintex rear shoes and front pads

New Disks (just rusts now)

New rear brake set up including drums

New Koso dash all wired up

All new carbon effect dash with new switches

New deep dish steering wheel with start and full beam switch wired to it

Aluminium fuel tank with new breathers and pipes

Dynamat light weight roof deadening 

Windcreen fitted with new rubbers and all other rubbers are new

Mostly new chrome work with only the grill not being new

All lights are new

Miglia arches

Full stainless exhaust system including Micron can.....really does sound amazing

New battery

95 893cc fireblade engine fitted to front

Corsa based chain drive diff

New trumpet sock filters

Brand new full geometry kit fitted but not really set up

 

 

As for the shell, its in very good condition with little or no rust that needs welded. Underside has been sealed and body has been treated to a new paint job in merc arctic white. However the body and paint has now picked up a few scratches and knocks over the last few years so could do with another coat of paint if your really looking for perfection.

 

2 doors are included in the sale but they are not perfect and have been butchered to a more light weight design.

 

All other glass needs to be bought but I was going to fit poly carb for weight reduction

 

 

Loads of new stuff like wiring, fuse box, fuel line but far too much to list

 

The car is pretty much ready for the track, Just needs the doors painted and fitted, other glass fitted. boot lid painted and fitted and a few other little jobs. Probably another weeks work and it could be at a garage for an MOT

 

The diff and drive work well and the engine runs great but will probably want a tune on the carbs. Brakes all work good and clutch is very soft action using the original pedal and fireblade cable. Gear change is forward 1 back 5 ect ect.

 

I am purely a hobbyist with a garage so don't expect a McLaren style build when you come to collect. Having said that the car is built to a good standard and id have quite happily drive the car myself but as mentioned above enjoyed building more than the though of driving

 

I will have probably missed somethings so will post if I spot anything else

 

Now to the nitty gritty of price. I know that I've spent around £8000 on the shell, engine and all other bits not to mention all the labour this little madam has received so I think a fair starting price is £5200. please let me know if I am way off the mark and Ill pop it on eBay for you all to fight over :gimme:

 

Thanks Alan

 

Ps can upload vid of engine running and car moving if it helps and any pic that people may want just post and and ill upload them onon this thread.

 

Please don't post any prices please PM me instead

Forgot to mention a few things

 

I have the original VIN plates ready to be attatched somewhere and also the wipers are fully functional now with new blade and new chrome bits as I don't think to photos show this

Fog light is also fitted

 

only wiring required is a hazard switch and a hand brake switch wired to the Koso dials which has a light building into it for this

 

The VIN on the scuttle does match but has been painted over so is very hard to make out but I will put my wages on it that they match as I checked this when I bought the shell
