Description
This car was acquired by the current owner in February 2008. At that time, it was a restoration project, which the owner immediately began working on. The body was fully restored over the following years until the car passed inspection in April 2014. In 2023, a used S engine was rebuilt and installed in the car. This was carried out by a highly skilled and well-known engine builder and specialist in Mini cars. Numerous receipts are available documenting the restoration. Since then, the car has been driven extensively by the current owner, who is also a dedicated Mini enthusiast. The car has been used both for shorter trips as well as for journeys abroad, including to England. It is in excellent condition, showing only minor signs of use.

Engine, gearbox, clutch and brakes are all in good working order. All instruments function except for the fuel gauge. The car is fitted with Minilite wheels and approved older tires. Working locks with double keys. Jack and starting handle included. Both luggage compartment and engine bay are in fine condition.
-
Interior condition
Nice carpets and panels. Upholstery in good condition, although a cleaning would further enhance the overall impression. At the time of inspection, a seat cover was fitted on the driver’s seat, but the owner confirms that the upholstery underneath is in the same condition as the rest of the interior.
-
Exterior condition
The paintwork has a nice shine, which could be further enhanced with a polish. There is a small surface rust spot in front of the right-hand door. The chrome is in good condition, though a polish would also improve the overall impression here. Trim and glass are in good, usable condition.
-
General condition
Overall, this Mini makes a very good impression. Only minor and simple details remain to be improved, if desired.
