Ralf the 1988 Austin Mini 1000cc
Just a lovely little Mini that whisks you back to the nineteen eighties.
Her engine is perfect, her gearbox smooth and I have very much enjoyed driving her, she is a lovely little car. We have had her engine professionally tuned and set-up by a well known engine company which makes a world of a difference, very much optimises her power and leaves her running like a sowing machine. She is very original, combining what feels like raw power, with 600kg of weight and that iconic, rally winning classic Mini handling to provide what is sometimes a terrific, sometimes a terrifying drive.
Underneath she is solid and largely restored, Her floors and subframes look almost new (see pictures), exactly what you want to see. One of her sills is new, the other is an over sill, but solid. A lot of her suspension and braking components look relatively new also, a lot of money has been invested within her,
Inside, she is very original and untouched. I suspect that she has been upgraded to include the expensive extra rev gauge. Her factory original sunroof has been sealed shut to prevent water ingress, but if you wanted you could source or make a new seal and open that up which would be lovely. Her headlining is original and not perfect.
Outside, her paintwork is presentable but average, it isn't a ten thousand pound job, there's a few marks in it, some blemishes, maybe it could be flatted and buffed, but if you like her in the pictures I think you will love her in real life.
She is supplied with 12 months MOT with no advisories and fully, professionally serviced her for your peace of mind. She comes with a HPI clear certificate. I think you would drive away very happy.
As often is the case, her interior light no longer works and she has a minuscule oil leak, she's a Mini, don't get one if you don't want it to drip oil on your floor.
