Lets begin the year as we mean to go on!
Say hello to Parker! The greatest Mini Pick Up in the WORLD!
Having had a total and comprehensive documented restoration with lots of new metal, he presents better than new! Basically every panel on this truck other than the bulkhead, roof and a few other panels are new. Done professionally, braced and on a spit. The decision was taken to raptor the entire underside to protect him for the future. The paint is Nardo grey which is just perfect for the Pickup. Lots of custom touches like the bed cover (opens on gas struts), the bonnet holes, bonnet opening latch and hidden rear locking mechanism just set him above the rest. Custom rear window, wing mirrors and all stainless accessories including overriders look awesome. Spot the 10inch Cooper S reverse rims painted in old English white.
Internally you find what I can only describe as the perfect interior! Heritage tan leather and Harris tweed full interior from C&S Custom Upholstery is a total masterpiece. This includes seats, door cards, roof lining, visors, dash liners, door pocket liners and all trim pieces. Spot all the Smiths cream dials, centre clock including speedo & fuel, water temp, revs & oil pressure keep you well informed. The original steering wheel and gear knob have been retained. Newton Commercial grey carpets and matching mats plus the chrome kick plates finish the look off perfectly. There's also a totally hidden and high tech stereo system!
Under the bonnet we find his beating heart which of course is a thing of beauty. Commissioned by me especially for this build sits a stunningly built 1330cc Crafted Classics engine. Just rolling road set up making a VERY impressive 95 BHP & 85 ibft! The spec on this engine and gearbox is impressive and includes ACL main bearing, big end bearings, thrust washer set, HT cam, stage 2 worked head 36mm inlet & 30 exhaust valves, double valve springs, 1:5 roller rockers, ported and polished with unleaded conversion, RHP double & single roller bearings, ARP bolts, IWIS timing chain, the list goes on and on! The gearbox has had the same treatment being completely rebuilt and improved. Also has a stage 1 flywheel assembly and brand new uprated clutch etc. Full Maniflow system and LCB manifold that sounds epic! Underneath is as good as he is on top with the subframes having been stripped, shot blasted and powder coated before being built up with all new parts (everything). Fully adjustable suspension including GAZ shockers that has just been professionally set up makes for the perfect stance. Cooper S 7.5inch brakes with all new pipes and braided hoses take care of your stopping requirements. Yokohama 032R tyres keep you glued to the tarmac!
Parker is simply magnificent, the best pick up in the world and you will NOT find a better one. He's got it all, easily a concours winner or a track toy that would surprise a lot of people or simply a B road weekend toy. I've just £12,000 on making him even more exceptional.
