Hi guys,
Reason for sale is that I barely use the car at all, and I want to use the money to go on some holidays! It has just had a little rebuild and fresh paint. Really the only place that needs work is the interior, although I like it as it is. Some of you may have seen this car around, it was on Speedhunters for the Readers Car Of The Year award. I'll post the spec below and also a link to a write up I did on Status Error.
Is It Finally Finished? :: S : E
Exterior:
Clear Front & Side Indicators
Mini Special Arches
Stainless Steel Front & Rear Bumpers
Single Drivers Wing Mirror
Chrome Door Handles
Interior:
Low Back Bucket Seats (Period Race Look)
10" Mountney Wheel + Boss
Sound Deadening Tar On Floor Removed + Rubber Sound Proof Mats Removed
Rear Seats + Belts removed
Polycarbonate Passenger & Driver's Door Windows
Custom Made Plastic Door Cards
Mountney Alloy Door Handles
New Carpets
Engine:
New Head Gasket & Thermostat Gasket
New Coolant Temp Sensor
New Temperature Sensor In Radiator
Cylinder Head Polish & Light Port
Maniflow Long Center Branch Manifold
Maniflow 1.75" Exhaust (CAT Back)
NGK Spark Plugs & New Filter & Castrol Oil + Filter Change
Tappets Remeasured & Adjusted
New Red HT Leads (8mm Silicone)
New Distributor Cap
Suspension + Chassis:
GAZ 32pt Adjustable Dampers
Original Hi-Lo Cones & Trumpets
Reinforced Track Shock Mounts (Front)
Polybushed Rear Subframe
Wheels & Brakes:
10x5.5" Minator Wheels (I Do Have Some 10x6" Minilites - Choice is Yours)
Yokohama A032R Tyres
7.5" Cooper S Calipers
EBC Green Stuff Pads & Grooved Discs
Goodridge Braided Hoses All Round
KAD Alloy Handbrake Quadrants
New Shoes & Brake Cylinders (Rear)
Some Bad Points:
Points To Note:
The car has had 3 owners on the logbook, however the second was my dad, as I was under his insurance policy when I was 17. So really it's only had 2 owners. It has done around 65000 miles and was serviced at the dealer for most of its life. I do have a book which proves this but i'm struggling to find it, so if I do i'll let you know and include it. It's had a lot of money spent on it over the last 2 years i've owned it, and it only needs a few small things sorted out to be a properly done Mini. If it doesn't sell I don't mind at all so there's no rush.
It has MOT until October 2012.
Price wise I'm looking for around £2500 but offers considered. Car is based in Edinburgh.
If i've missed anything please ask.
Thanks

Some Bad Points:
- A few rattly bits inside such as the door cards, which I will try to sort out.
- No Sound proofing so it isn't silent inside! However you can purchase lightweight modern stuff fairly cheaply and cut it to size if required.
- Rear lip which the bumper mounts on to is a little rough, you can't actually see it unless you look closely but it would be a case of filling it in or welding a bit of metal onto it. I can get pics if needed.
- Very small chip of paint on offside wing near the bonnet, I have a tin of paint which was left over from spraying the car to fix this.
Points To Note:
- I just replaced the Coolant Temp Sensor, Vacuum hoses and Lambda sensor.
- Comes with original seats, glass and window winders to put back to almost standard if required.
- Head has just been skimmed and have the paperwork to show.
- Starts first time no problem. In the Winter it is the same, starts on the button every time.
