Description
A rare opportunity to acquire the ultimate custom resto-mod built Classic Mini Cooper. Based upon a low mileage 1998 Japanese import BSCC Special edition, this Mini has been fully stripped and re-engineered with a blend of OEM and best custom components. The result is a peerless unique customised Classic Mini that retains all of the original character whilst enhancing the visceral driving experience and providing modern interior comforts (including A/ C, remote central locking, alarm/ immobiliser, Alpine Bluetooth sound system and full leather interior).
Flawlessly presented in Mirror Black paintwork with Matt Midnight Black roof and bonnet racing stripes (3M wrap). SMCO Angle-eye LED headlights with DRL and amber indictor rings, augmented by 4x Hella Comet 500 yellow spotlights. Rear lighting includes LED rear brake light bulbs, Hella high level brake light and classic style fog light. Chrome bumpers with overriders, mirrors, door handles, wiper blades, roof edge trim and rear number plate light cover.
New black leather seating and Moto-Lita special edition Cooper steering wheel. Fully carpet set with acoustic insulation and Copper floor mats. Carbon-fibre effect dash and door cappings with Cooper alloy door furniture and sill plates.
This Cooper has been set-up as the definitive fast-road machine, specifically engineered to provide supreme on road performance, balancing speed, handling, drivability, comfort, noise and looks. Carefully customised mechanical modifications of the original Mini SPI 1. 3ltr four cylinder to provide maximum usable power for street acceleration and speed whilst not compromising cruising characteristics or reliability. The old-school, naturally aspirated set-up provided maximum driver engagement with the KAD short shifter, LCB headers, Monza 1 ¾” de-cat exhaust and K&N free flow intake combining to produce usable on road performance and exhilarating country road driving or track day fun. Lowered racing suspension with adjustable springs and Bilstein shocks, on 13” Minilite black with chrome rim alloy wheels, shod in 155 Yokohama A539 rubber under custom arches.
This Mini is equally at home doing the daily commute, classic car show or weekend warrior drive, all of which will result in the most vehicular admiration and the biggest smile factor available. No expense has been spared in the preparation of this ultimate Mini Cooper, with tens-of-thousands of dollars spent on performance and aesthetic upgrades.
The price is set at a very realistic level, but please do not confuse this level of pricing with other Australia resorted Mini’s and you need to be thinking of something with quality on par with DB Classic Mini’s. This is the definitive interpretation of the ultimate usable British classic and ownership of these vehicle is unlike any other classic motoring.
Currently road registered in Western Australia with a custom slim-line black private number plate (will sell with the Mini if staying in WA) and has an Australian JDM import compliant RAWS certificate for re-registration interstate. Happy to assist with dropping off vehicle for transfer to eastern states via train (CEVA) or coastal shipping (DAZMAC).
