This is not a restored car, but a genuinely preserved, low-mileage Mini with sensible, period-correct upgrades.
Optional extra (by separate negotiation):
Extremely rare Moto-Lita Racing "Team Mini" Monte Carlo commemorative steering wheel, I am not including this on the sale without a haggle !
engraved and signed by Tom Walkinshaw (four-figure collector value).
Also, the fitted leather boot panniers, which were an early JDM specific aftermarket option are absolutely unobtainable (made from genuine unicorn hide)!
So the full plan was to ditch the Rover ECU and install the plug and play programmable throttle body from specialist components.
Then tune it on a rolling road and squeeze out every last BHP out of her as nature intended !
Unfortunately we have far to many other technically demanding projects on the go to attend to at the moment.
Its a classic Mini !!! , life is too short for boring cars !
