Description

I have owned her for 3 yrs. I purchased this classic because it had had a complete nuts/bolts strip down, re-spray, refurb. I have many photos of the rebuild, spaying, wax injection etc. Pls email me for photos. Better still come and see the car. When I purchased her she had new mini light wheels, tyres, brake callipers, disc, pads, exhaust and hood. She had been de-bumpered, de-badged, lowered suspension, a new front grill and electronic ignition. In the time I have had her I have made it a project of mine to make many improvements. Along the way I have replaced many worn/broken parts. I have improved and updated the interior, bodywork and engine bay, thus improving the overall glamour of the car. When the engine was out I rubbed down the engine-bay down to metal in all rusted areas, treated with a rust inhibitor and painted the bay to match the car (Goodwood Green).
