Hard to know where to start... I bought this car from an enthusiast based in Warwickshire in 2021. It is a fully restored 1988 Austin Mini 1275cc. He bought the car, fully restored by the previous owner over many years from 2012, who was an Engineer for Jaguar to enjoy with his father. His father passed away so he sold it to me after only doing 400 miles in it. I have put approximately 1500 miles on it since 2021, it has always been garaged and looked after and lovingly cared for by my own father who served his time as an Austin mechanic and worked on circuit racing minis in the 1960's. I've only done a couple hundred miles in it in the last year (currently sorned) so it's time to let someone else enjoy it. The car is based on a low mileage shell from a 1988 Mini Mayfair Auto. Fully rebuilt using this bare shell, which was painted as a bare shell in Nightfire red, completely wax oiled. It was converted with a manual gearbox, a rebuilt A+ 1275cc engine on 1 1/2" Twin HS4 carbs and built up with almost all new parts. Impossible to list all the parts, but I have receipts for everything, thousands spent and there has been an untold amount of man hours.
