1994 Japanese Spec Mini 1275 Auto For Sale
The car went to Japan as a standard Mini Mayfair but once it was over there the owner changed the look to the early '70s Mk3 appearance with a conversion to Cooper S brakes, 5''x10'' alloys, Mk2/ 3 rear light clusters, lowered suspension all round, wing mirrors etc, while inside the original Mayfair instrument pod was removed and an early style centre binacle was fitted, along with a 'Rokee' style wooden dash (covered in black vinyl), a Japanese aftermarket dash top rail cover and a small rev counter. Since I bought it last year I've replaced the 5''x10'' alloys with a set of brand new 6''x10'' Cosmics and Yokohama tyres which fill the arches nicely, fitted a new Mk2 Cooper grille and surrounds, a Moto-Lita style wood rimmed steering wheel and replaced the tired Mayfair velour interior with new seats, door cards, rear quarter cards and door cappings in black vinyl. The door furniture is a Japanese aftermarket set in alloy, wood and leather.
The car drives fine in the forward gears but unfortunately will not always engage reverse gear for some reason. It is still drivable and until I recently put it on SORN I used it for car shows over the Summer and the occasional commute to work. The air-con works very well, giving out cold air just as it should, the needle in the fuel gauge sticks on the just over half a tank mark, I've had it looked at by my local garage but it still needs sorting out. The shell is as you would expect a Jap spec Mini to be, very solid with no rot anywhere (this was one of the reasons I bought it), the paintork is very good overall but there are some marks and scratches here and there. It's been garaged thoughout my ownership, the V5C is in my name, it's MOT'd until 20/ 2/ 18 and had an oil and filter change when the MOT was carried out earlier this year. The car comes with its Japanese Rover Mini handbooks, import ducumentation and a letter from the DVLA confirming its British registration number.
Gearbox issue aside, this is a solid, usable Mini 1275 with a good spec and some nice retro touches - asking price is £5750 ono, more info and photos can be emailed if required.

Project 3 litre P5. It looks better than it is but is fairly solid. First of all it needs a full sill on the O/S this is a major job as all 3 sections are rotted and mostly missing.
