A FULLY RESTORED AUSTIN MINI 1972 L 998cc £3595

This car has been subject to major restoration and has been resprayed in the period colour of Vermillion Red (looks orange) with a white roof, including the inside and underside of the car. The car has had replacement wings, door skins, A panels, sills and front panel. This car, if looked after will last for many years to come. Every panel is fitted perfectly. This car is as clean on the underside as it is on the outside.

The rear subframe is new, as are all the rear hubs, brake pipes, fuel lines, the brakes have been refurbished all round. The front subframe has been repainted and again, all the front drive train has been refurbished (top & bottom ball joints etc). New shock absorbers have been fitted as has a new exhaust system. The car has been refitted with new bumpers and a chrome grille. Without doubt one of the cleanest Classic Minis on offer today. Mot'd and taxed till March 2009. The engine pulls well and has been rebuilt, the gearbox also performs without fault. Being an early Mini the brakes are of the drum variety and therefore does not pull up as sprightly as a modern mini, so if a new driver contemplates purchasing this car we would suggest a disc brake + servo conversion might be the order of the day. This car is an appreciating asset, especially as 2009 is the 50th anniversary of the Classic Mini. Being over 25 years old this car is also available for export, which can be arranged at extra cost.

We are currently using this car as our run around and it gets admiring looks wherever we go in it. We like to use every car we sell for at least 500 miles before they go to there new owners. Takes less than £25 to fill her up too.

The car is of course tax exempt, and fitted with the following period extras:

Period 10" Cosmic style alloys, sandblasted & repainted

Black and silver number plates - totally legal as the car is registered pre 1/1/1973

Cobra Style Vinyl Sports Seats

Halogen Headlight Conversion

Sports Steering wheel
