Some of you will recognise Chester, he went down so well the first time (selling out in 24 hours) that when I was offered him back I decided I'd give you another chance to WIN him.
An extremely nicely upgraded Mini Studio 2. Having been built by what seems to be a very fastidious person, this Mini is just exceptional.
Externally Chester was restored and repainted in 2019 in stunning dark silver metallic. 10 inch Force racing spilt rims wrapped in sticky Yoko Advan 032R rubber and covered by 4 body painted arches. A MKI front end with external bonnet release and all the usual chrome including MKI grill, bumper overides, mirrors and more present immaculately. Clear lens kit and upgraded headlamps.
Under the bonnet sits a stunning 1275cc with 93 bhp & 88ibft work of art, the spec includes Swiftune SW5 cam, stage 3 head 35.6mm inlet, 29.4mm exhaust, 30 degree back cut on all valves, bullet nosed iron guides, MPI spec stem seals, double valve springs, unleaded exhaust inserts and 21.5xx chambers (done by Phil at turbo minis), twin HS4 carbs and so much more, this is all paired to a wonderfully sounding Maniflow LCB and centre exit exhaust system. Rolling road set up in 2022. A fully rebuilt gearbox feels like new. Of course all the usual suspension upgrades including Hi-Los, adjustable shocks, tie bar & camber are here along with upgraded 4 pot alloy callipers, discs, pads and rear super fins! Just had a full service and a fresh MOT. He has a massive file of history with lots of invoices and comes with 2 sets of keys.
Opening the door to Chester reveals what can only be described as one of the best mini interiors I've seen. It just feels good! The stunning Cobra black leather clad sport seats with matching rear seats, door cards (with door pockets) and deluxe black carpets. A lovely fully upgraded dash houses all the important info including chrome edged speedo, temp and fuel gauge, rev counter, additional gauges include oil pressure, battery volts, water temp and a clock. Upgraded CD player with usb, custom switch panel with light up buttons! A custom centre console with heater vents all in black. Another custom panel houses an extra cooling fan, horn and a few other bits. Nice addition of 12v points also. Alloy door furniture and a black leather clad steering wheel finish it all off.
In summary Chester is a standout Mini, one of a kind. Goes like a rocket with a stunningly upgraded interior, he's got it all.
