Belonged to my late brother who passed away 15years ago, has been sat in the garage at my folks home since then - gets started up and wheels rotated occasionally through the year - really needs a new home as is doing it no good just sitting in a workshop.

Purchased in the 90's, was just a chassis - the two maniacs who owned it before had been using it for hill-climbs in the 80's- they had for a period of time used it with an engine in the rear, and an engine in the front, but could never get them synced together properly.

My brother was sick for quite a period of time and spent his time rebuilding it over 10 or 15 years. A lot of the running gear came out of donor cars, normally rovers of one kind or another.

1965 Mini Pickup

Old C Reg

Rear Mounted 1400 or 1600 k-Series Fuel Injected Engine and Gearbox - need to clarify.

Full Heavy Duty Roll Cage.

Fiber Glass Doors and Bonnet.

Carbon Fiber Roof, Wheel Arches, Air Intake and Rear Gate.

Bucket Seats / Racing Harness.

Twin Exhaust.

Adjustable Suspension from memory.

New Tyres and Wheels, only been a handful of miles.

Brand New Battery.

A lot of the specific info is from my Dad and I's fairly sketchy memories. Was ridiculously quick the couple of times we went down the local roads in it - handled brilliantly.

His intention was to then get it approved for daily road use, but never got the opportunity to get all the compliance work done before he passed away - no idea what needs to be completed for this process, no TAX no MOT.

Was driven out of the garage for photos so starts and runs, breaks stick one side, but has not driven more than 20metres at a time for a few years, fuel pipes also had to be replaced. Looking for offers around 10k, cash sale, but if you are genuinely interested its at my parents home, have a look and we'll go from there. Located in postcode OX44.
