Lighter than a standard mini, more powerful than a standard mini. Very
cheap insurance through Graham Sykes (my last policy was 156.50 pounds)

ENGINE:

Avonbar 1380cc (Avonbar engine number)
Stage 2 Head, high lift cam
1 ¾" SU with MG Metro Filter Housing (high flow and quiet)
Electric Fuel Pump
Aldon Distributer
Lucas Sport coil
LCB exhaust manifold
Alloy inlet manifold
Custom Made two-box RC40 Stainless Exhaust system (sounds excellent)
Alloy Rocker cover
Decoke less than 100 miles ago (valves, bores and piston crowns in
excellent condition. I could not see see any traces of scoring - or any
wear infact - to the bores)

BODY:

The body is an extremely tough monocoque design (mini subframe mounted
to front, Midas beam axle to rear)
Recent new front and rear bumpers (white) courtesy of Charlie Dodd
(note the driving lamps are currently for show but the lamps are fully
usable should the successful bidder wish to wire these)
The original mirrors and petrol cap (hard to find) are present
The bonnet has a Midas front quick release pivot for quick bonnet
removal (giving excellent engine accessibility)
INTERIOR:

The dashboard, headlining, rear wheelarch covers and door inserts are
original Midas durable black moulded items (leather crinkle finish) -
these set this car significantly apart from other kit cars.
The car has Cobra reclining seats (these are fixed in place to increase
headroom - I am six foot two and a half - although drivers side
adjuster is included in the sale)
The original rear seat folding wooden back is in place (see pictures of
this up and down) but no seat cushion is not present
Original large alloy Spare Wheel clamping nut (hard to get hold of) -
the cover looks creased in the photo because it has just come out of a
cupboard.
Glass Sunroof
Wind down windows that work fine
Rear Hatch with gas struts that lift and hold the glass as intended
Pioneer Hi Spec Face off CD RDS Radio
WHEELS/TYRES/SUSPENSION

Wheels: Excellent Conditon Genuine Rover Mini Cooper Wheels (x5) -
Minilite style -with Genuine Mini Cooper inserts (no kerbing or
corrosion)
Tyres: 165x60 R12 Yokahama A539 (x5) nearly new (minimal tread wear)
Genuine Rover Cooper Wheel nuts (stainless cover type) - these cost a
fortune for a set
Mini Hi-Lo suspension at front
Beam Axle with coil over spax suspension to rear
Barspeed Beta Version 2.0 - 17 Aug 2006 07:35 GMT
