Nice to see another Studio 2 owner, and its also a nice change to see one being restored to standard
During my restoration I originally planned to go standard, but ive changed my mind, and gone for the Downton look, nearly all mods are reversable back to standard though.
On your mini the roof would have been nordic blue aswell instead of white.
Have alook at this link, its to the original sales brochure, which may help you

I had a Studio 2, got loads of pics on my mac, will post some tomo

I've got a Studio 2 (project link in my sig) which I was going to restore to original, plans changed, modding the boobs off it.

What I can tell you is;
they came in three colours: Black, Storm grey and Nordic blue
Had a 998cc carb'd engine (yellow coloured block)
had servo assisted brakes
8.4" discs covered by 12" wheels
They had a 2 clock dash with a grey surround to the clocks and grey upper and lower dash padding
The interior was grey with a blue stripe and the '2' logo (which I have a couple of sets of if you want)
They had the standard grey Rover steering wheel with 'mini' written in the centre cap
They had the black standard rover gear knob
Exterior styling came in the form of a '2' on the boot and doors and a pinstripe along the top of the doors and rear quarter

That's all I can think of so far. Anything specific feel free to drop me a pm.

Ninja edit: the standard black plastic rover arches; I've got a set of them with the side strip if you want 'em too.

The steering wheel centre badge is Jade Green too, unlike others which have a black centre.
The 998's were high compression, with flat top pistons and a 3.1fd.
They also came with steelies, but ive seen lots of studio 2 with dealer fit sunroofs and GB alloys, the bumpers were satin black metal bumpers, not plastic.

Ive still not found the photos, but ill keep on looking

that would be a big help. been finding it hard to find photos of this Mini as new, just keep getting the Mini Studio 2 Brochure photos or modded ones.

[Midas Mk1]

Mods from factory are the :
Cheapo Peddle Covers
Gb Badge
Stone Guards
Gear Stick Gaitor
mk2 morris S grill
3rd brake light

I planned on restoring it back to standard, so I bought a complete spare interior, which I wont be needing now, aswell as genuine decals which I managed to pick up off ebay, and which ive not seen since. You can still get repro ones of ebay though
Dealer Fit Sunroof and GB Alloys ( which ive seen on lots of Studios )








Its changed alot since then , 5 years ago to be precise, hope it helps

Great pics. I also had a Studio 2 until I sadly crashed it... it was slightly modified, though but original storm grey. There are some horrible pictures of it if you search the forum for Rustie "the Brave"

[Mini trouble]

post a link to what it looks like naw and you can see all the work I'm going to have to do to get it back.

And thanks Ive to see more...
