| “This car was purchased and restored in Germany. The House of Kolor paint is not perfect but looks amazing. There are a couple runs that I did not get out when color sanding. Windscreen cowl has some marks from rust which was neutralized with the POR-15 process. Driver side door jam had rust, which again was neutralized with POR-15. Boot floor has rusted out portions which I used POR-15 on. I have a replacement boot pan for it but ran out of time before the car was to be imported. Hood fitment is not perfect which makes the grill not line up perfectly. Due to the 13" wheels when the steering wheel is locked completely when turning the front tires rub a bit on the front flares.” |

Vehicle description
This 1986 Austin Mini truly is a beauty. The VIN SAXXL2S1S21359517. The car was purchased in Germany. At that time it was stripped down to bare metal and a general restoration was done to the vehicle. Rusty floor panels were cut out and replaced. Any rust that was still remaining (boot, windscreen cowl, door jam) was neutralized with the POR-15 process. I do have the replacement panels if further restoration were desired.
Most all the nuts and bolts were replaced. Old suspension was replaced with adjustable sport coil spring setup. Front brakes were upgraded to 4-pot mini sport calipers and slotted rotors. The front end also has adjustable control arms which help when aligning the front end. The Mini is equipped with 7x13 MiniLight Deep Dish wheels and brand new Yokohama 175/50r13 tires.
The engine runs great. The head is a stage-3 Minisport ported and polished head. The head is fitted with a 1.5:1 allow roller rocker assembly which helps open up the valves more to allow the max amount of air to enter the cylinder. To my knowledge, the block is factory with no modification done to it. The same goes for the transmission. The transmission shifts perfect with no grinding in 1 through 4. When shifting into reverse is doesn"t grind but it does "bite". This is some what normal for Minis due to reverse being a crash gear.
The interior is equipped with a roll cage. There is no back seat due to the roll cage being installed. The seats are Sparco Sprint V bucket seats. They do not recline. There fit very well to the body and keep you in place. Seat belts are Sparco 4-point harnesses. The dash is carbon fiber. Tachometer is fitted with a Auto Meter gauge. Speedometer is in kilometers. At the time of this post the odometer reads 651km.
EXTRAS: I have a spare 998cc motor and transmission. The spare transmission case is cracked and only the internals are good. I also have 2 spare sets of wheels and tires. Nothing fancy with either the wheels and tires. I have a brand new set of 5x12" spare wheels. Additionally I have random nuts, bolts, wires, gauges and parts that are sitting in a box. All spare parts will be included with Mini.
