The Mini shell has been deseamed, and painted pageant blue with black Miglia arches to complete the look. There are some rust bubbles and corrosion present around the windscreen and other isolated areas but overall the shell appears sound.
The interior features a roll cage that has been bolted in place, bucket seats, and full instrumention.
A large number of parts also come with the car.
Overall this is fast and usable Mini – not one for the purist but nevertheless lots of fun.
