DESCRIPTION
Bought three years ago, you will not experience more fun in a mini. Completely remanufactured to an extremely high spec, she is an absolute joy to drive with mechanicals and bodywork in excellent condition - the photos do not do it justice!
The list of changes are too many to include here, but the main features are:
- Rebord A series block to 1310, 10.5 CR.
- Cooper S Close-ratio gearbox with 3.9:1 final drive
- Straight cut drop gears
- Stage 4+ head (polished and ported 21 cc chambers, race valves, titanium valve spring top hats twin spring, bronze race valve guides.
- Lightweight flywheel and pressure plate
- Road Rally clutch plate and diagram.
- Weber 45 DCOE on Maniflow inlet manifold and mangoletsi throttle linkage.
- Custom curved aldon red dizzy with electronic ignition
- New pistons
- Lightened and balanced crank
- Cooper s Conrods
- 11 stud bloke and head conversion,
- Duplex timing gear
- KC MD266 Cam + Cam followers
- Turbo oil pump
- 4 point engine steadys
- Maniflow LCB manifold (heat wrapped)
- Full SS RC40 exhaust
- Hi- lows front and back
- New dampers front and back
- Uprated cones front and back
- Adjustable camber brackets on the rear trailing arms
- Fixed negative camber lower front suspension arms
- Uprated front tie rods
- Original super fin drum brakes on the rear with new slave cylinders and shoes
- 7.5" drilled front discs with EBC green stuff pads
- New front and rear wheel bearings
- Goodridge braided brake lines front and rear
- Facet electric fuel pump + in line filter and pressure regulator.
- 10" revolution wheels.
- Yokohama AO32 tyres
- New front ball joints including extended lowers for better suspension/steering geometry with a lowered car.
- Half roll cage (not fixed)
- Waxoyld underneath three years ago, and renewed a year ago. I can see no evidence of rust
Inside:
- 1970's Astrali steering wheel
- KAD short shift
- Corbeau Alpine bucket seats.
- Britax removable harness bar.
- Original Britax 3 point harnesses.
- New carpets and mats.
- Car has had full soundproofing
Always serviced and MoT’d. Just flew through the last Mot (Jul 2022) just as it had done in previous years. Never tracked or Hill climbed....however, certainly enjoyed (!) with the 3.9:1 setup meaning great acceleration whilst still being more than comfortable at higher speeds.
She is not perfect – the mileage on display is 35,000 miles (only 1500 on current engine). However, the odometer has never worked in the years I have had it. All other dials work and, importantly, the speedometer has been calibrated for the current setup so reads correctly. In addition, the two doors are a very slight different shade of blue. I considered getting it resprayed, but I felt went with the race charm. Finally, there are a couple of stone chips (literally, just a couple) and a small bit of paint flakeage at back (see photo) that is barely noticeable. I do have touch up paint, but I fear I’d make it worse as I was never good at art! Please note the shell is from a City E and the engine on the V5 says 998cc. Previous owner (who bought the new engine) said it was a Cooper S engine from 1973, however it's only right I say that there are no receipts to prove this unfortunately. It's definitely a 1310 though.
Included in the sale is well over £1000 worth of extras including: Standard ratio rebuilt gearbox, Rear suspension arms (need shafts), Gearshift mechanism (bent bit at bottom but could have new shaft for £20), Air filter, 80s asrali steering wheel, Lucas distributor (45d), Spare radiator top pipe, Valve guide seals, gaskets, Standard brackets for toe, Flywheel bolts , bowing housing case bolts, Indicator and hazard flasher units, Standard lower suspension arms x 2, Spare bulbs, cam followers, floats , piston rings, Blue HT leads plus loads more.
Always stored undercover and stored in a humidity controlled storage facility between Oct-Apr.
Selling as I feel this is a lot of car for me (I did none of the work on it, rather looked to specialists to advise/fit), and I just don't have the time/brain to fully appreciate it. It’s so so SO much fun, I’m sure whoever buys her will enjoy driving her as much as I have :-)
I know this listing could encourage time-wasters, so I'm happy to offer test drives, but I will be driving. I have lots more photos and videos can be provided of her starting up / running and a walk round.
Any questions, please feel free to ask!
