A quick buff up and polish would not go amiss on this one for sale on ebay in Leicestershire.

Not far from me...looks a bit sorry and 'only' 998cc so might not fetch the asking price however it is definitely worth it especially considering what a decent 998cc mini would cost.

That's one of Harold's demonstrators, anyone up for a restoration? :D

Does it not seem a bit odd that it was white on the mag but is now red through out, in what looks to be gel coat?

I was rather hoping no one would notice that fact... oh well. I might need to be prepared to bid a bit higher :o

Midtec painted the car red James and also reworked the interior trim a bit, a shame the listing doesn't have more shots of the interior.

I do quite like the black dashboard!

That's exactly as I remember it from when Midtec displayed the car at the Stafford kit car show, thanks James.

Hi Peter do you still have the original engine? and if so does it come with the car?
