Classic Car Auctions says:
A well-crafted combination of Mk1 fun and modern features...
Based on a c1965 bodyshell and upgraded to meet modern driving requirements
It's not clear when the project commenced but the 'new' car was first registered in 1987
The idea was to combine the fun-factor of early Minis with later features
Fitted with a 1275 engine, uprated suspension, front discs etc.
Attractively finished in a delightful blue/grey with a fully restored timber frame
The interior looks fabulous with later seating in red leather and smart red carpeting
The dashboard, fascia and steering wheel are from a later Cooper (Mk VII?)
The quality of the workmanship is superb throughout and rarely equalled
Enhanced with Superlight chrome-alloy wheels. The registration FSU 607 remains
With our vendor since 2006 forming part of a substantial Mini collection
Lightly used recently. 2012 MOT @21,679 miles, current mileage 22,254 (atoc)
A well-mixed cocktail of Sixties Boy-Racer and modern practicality
