I've decided to sell our mini 1100 special, most of the people on the forum know this car so i'm not going to say too much about it as you probably already know all about the car if you have followed the posts about it!... :-)
Basically its a 1979 mini 1100 special (20th anniversary) in silver, the engine has been rebuilt in 2012 and is now tuned to provide 75BHP (with paperwork)
The gearbox is a 1275GT close ratio item and was rebuilt at the same time as the engine and has a central oil pick up etc, approx 1500 miles done since, the transfer gears are straight cut and i will supply a set of standard transfer gears with the car if you want to put them back to standard.
The engine is fitted with (rebuilt) twin Hs2 carbs with original cooper 's' air filter casing.
The exhaust system comprises of a maniflow cooper freeflow manifold and a twin box RC40 exhaust system.
The car is taxed until the end of jan and has mot until october 2013.
I have a folder full of receipts and history for the car, the vinyl roof was replaced last year (with the correct leyland black vinyl)
The wheels are mint as is much of the rest of the car, the car has never had a restoration which is a rarity in itself for one of these cars!

a lot of money has been spent on this car to bring it up to the condition that its in now and i think that the asking price is a fair one, i've seen basket case silver mini specials which need a full restoration sell for nearly £2000 and apart from the restoration costs the buyers have to spend months trying to source the bits and pieces that were only fitted to these cars.

i want £3800 for the mini, no timewasters please and no test drives without proof of insurance either!!
for more information my email address is :- [email protected]

here are some pics

Ive always used images of your brilliant car as inspiration whilst sorting my own 1100 special. It really does look the bee's!
That sounds a very fair price indeed Oltonlad. Quite a bargain! .I would be very tempted, except funds (and the Mrs) don't allow it.
Have you another project on the go?

Best of luck with the sale. ;D

hi Al, i dont have any other projects, the mini hardly gets used so i'd rather sell it to someone who will be able to use it more than i do, its just dead money sat in the garage and with other comittments its not financially viable to keep it anymore.

i would px the mini for a mint (and i mean mint) blue & silver or blue & white yamaha R6 1st gen model up to £2000 plus cash my way.
