1300cc | New leather interior | Sports exhaust | In perfect condition.

This originally Dutch Mini comes from the 3rd owner who has restored it to a beautiful, classical condition.

The original 850cc engine has been replaced by a 1275cc Cooper engine with over 65HP, the brakes have been converted to disc brakes and the entire body has been sprayed in the colour Mineral Blue metallic with an Old English White roof.

The classic look and beautiful interior make this Austin Mini a true collector’s item.

Exterior:
Sprayed in Mineral Blue metallic (it was originally red), the paintwork is in very good condition, no rust or damage, a clear coating was applied for extra protection.
The bodywork and sheet metal are solid, all seams are correct, all hinges and locks work well. The bottom and subframes are hard and damage-free as well as the suspension and the neat 12" Minilite rims with Dunlop tyres.
The Mini features neat chrome and newly painted mudguard wideners.
The Mini is entirely fitted with green-tinted glass with folding side windows, the door and window rubbers have been replaced as well as the window filler strips.

Unique is the Peco dual-exhaust which produces a nice deep dark sound and suits the 1275cc Cooper engine perfectly.
The Mini has Austin Cooper badges!

Interior:
Original newly upholstered MK2 seats in Powder Blue leather with beige piping! This interior is new (2020) and entirely built with original details.
The rear bench, door panels and wheel covers match the seats. The Mini has the original door handles and openers.
The carpet is black and in good condition, we will supply a new set of black mats.

Also unique is the original classic dashboard, the "egg" has 2 additional gauges and a Union Jack badge.
The steering wheel consists of leather and black stainless steel.

Mechanics:
The Mini originally had a 850cc engine but now features a perfect 1275cc Cooper engine, it has a 4-speed manual gearbox with over 65 HP.
The engine has an aluminium sports radiator, an open air filter and a sporty valve cover.
The coil, spark plugs and spark plug cables have also been replaced.
The suspension, brakes, subframe and rubbers are all in good condition! All of the electrical components and lights also work properly.
It has a larger, new fuel tank, tank float and pump.
