1978 Mini For Sale NOW SOLD!
http://s1259.photobucket.com/user/phillier1/slideshow/
Alas it is time to part with "Homer" as I need the garage for another classic. Mileage is 47000 on the clock.
I bought this car in the UK 6 years ago. At that time it had been re-engined to a 1275 with unleaded head and had the bucket seats and sunroof fitted. My intention was to create a Britax style pseudo-racer and have added the following bits:
Full bolt-in roll cage
Rear seat and bins removed permanently
all carpets removed (headlining still there)
Mountney steering wheel
Securon 3 point harnesses
Larger fuel tank
brand new Ultralite wheels (tyros are Yoko A-008 with loads of tread)
Angel eye headlights
Clear front indicators
Jeweled rear lenses
Lightboltz on rear number plate
Electronic ignition and new coil
New radiator
HT leads
Removable bonnet
Lightweight 4pot Alloy calipers on the front with green-stuff pads
braided steel hoses on front
Negative camber arms on front
New centre exit exhaust
Negative camber brackets and braided hoses for rear braks are included though not fitted
Bad bits (aren't there always?!)
Drivers side outer sill needs attention
Beginnings of rust on bottom of passenger door
Its a nice tidy and above all fun car to drive. Have a look at the pics and if interested in viewing give me a call on 086-8118449, or email me ericphillips1970@gmail.com
If I`m slow to get back to you its because I`m away.
Looking for 3,250 Euro ono
Thanks,
Eric
