I bought the car in 2013 from a current MOC member, so some of you may know it already. I believe it got second in class at an event. I bought the car with the intention of working on it, even though it was in very good order. My engineering skills are limited and I learned a lot about Minis and metalwork by working on the car during the winter months with an engineer friend. We replaced many parts that did not need replacing with new, largely genuine parts. These are minor jobs to finish(ie new handbrake and gear stick gaiters with chrome trim). I will try to get them done before sale. There are spares as well, including 5x Jupiter 12" wheels with good tyres. MOT in May 2015, passed with no advisories.

The original car has an MG Metro 1300 A Series engine with a roller tip camshaft, HIF44 carb and Megajolt electronic ignition. The car drives and handles very well. There is the usual minor cosmetic damage to the GRP, but excellent considering the car's age. The car probably attracts as much attention as my Sylva Vectis.
The current insurance value is ££3500 (with Flux). I have spent well over £3000 on improvements alone, with receipts.
I am asking £3000 ono.
