Meet Asterix!
A fully documented restoration was undertaken a few years ago by a specialist restoration company BMG Classic & Retro, lots of new metal was used and all were heritage panels, this included a complete floor, rear quarters, boot floor, inner & outer sills, door steps, rear heel board, rear valance, inner and outer wings, front valance, A panels, doors and the list goes on. Spot the custom relocated battery box in the rear parcel shelf. The paint on this mini is next level, Candy Ruby red and cost £800 just for the paint! A fully raptor'd underside in & out in matching paint ensures the future of him. A contrasting Old English white roof with custom spoiler is a nice contrast to the stunning red paint and matched the roll cage also. Group 4 arches cover the wide wheels and are painted black. More custom work includes de bumpering at the front and rear and a bonnet with custom supercharger bulge and working vents. All the usual chrome has been blacked out, twin Aston fuel caps, upgraded crystal halo head lights and the addition of grill mounted spot lamps look great whilst giving more usability. Finished off with stunning black and silver 12 inch Mamba alloys wrapped in Yoko A539 tyres. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!
Under the bonnet sites a true master piece, a Crafted Classics built 1293 supercharged 130 bhp monster. Some of the spec includes +20 forged Omega pistons, ARP rod bolts, MED centre strap, 8 port push rods, Duratec valve train 31/35, Vernier timing gear, Modified Eaton M45 charger + inlet Specialist Components EFI kit. Fully ported head with bronze guides, 36mm inlet and 30mm valves and heavy duty valve springs, 1:5 Med rockers, custom Trojan guides, balanced assembly this results in 8.7:1 compression and at 8/9 psi making a punchy 130 bhp! Paired to a Maniflow 1 3/4" E-type full system looks and sounds epic! The gearbox has had the same level of treatment, straight cut gears, X-pin diff and centre oil pick up a nice addition of a KAD quick shifter and everything else is new .Top, lower and gearbox steadies plus more stabiliser brackets keep everything in place. 4 pot brake conversion with upgraded 8.4 inch vented, dimpled & grooved discs with green stuff pads plus alloy super fins to the rear along with adjustable valve take care on all the stopping power! Fully adjustable dampers and suspension plus KAD rear camber/toe kit keep you glued to the road!
Internally the fast road theme carries on with Cobra Monaco pro race seats in black with 4 point harnessed with snap hooks taking centre stage. A body painted custom dash houses all the important info including speedo, rev counter, boost gauge, oil pressure, water temperature, fuel and more. A custom switch panel with nice alloy toggles include ECU, fuel pump, lights, heated front screen and more is a very neat thing indeed. Spot the Stilo trophy 2 intercom system (this is a very loud mini) A full 6 point roll cage with cross and door bars painted in Old English white stiffens it all up nicely. Black door cards with alloy door furniture and lots of Smithy bits look great. The upgraded Momo steering wheel finishes the interior off perfectly.
