Phone Rob from Milverton for further details 07793 461520.
Both Minis are due up for MOT in a few weeks, and due to increasing work commitments further away from home, Rob doesn't have the time to sort them out. He describes both to have decent bodywork, but minor things need doing to pass the test, such as engine & subframe bushes, and changing/adjusting the brakes.
Red H-Reg 1990 saloon with 1275 engine. Inch&half carb, stage 1 Maniflow exhaust. Bodykit, tinted windows, 13x7 wheels, bucket seats. Alex & I have seen this car before, and from memory it looked quite smart. Bottom balljoints recently done.
1981 BRG Cooper lookalike. Stage 1 1000cc, lots of history and records of replacement panels. Chrome arches, 10" alloys, dummy RH tank. By all accounts it looks immaculate.
Unfortunately its engine is blown, and I hope Rob doesn't mind me repeating the story as it is quite amusing! By all accounts his young son thought the exhaust looked dirty, so put a hosepipe up it and left it running for about an hour... and as you can imagine, water is not the most combustable of fluids
