Meet Ore! He started life as a Mini 1275 GT but presents today in this stunning modified condition. He's been with the pervious owner for over 20 years and seen many different looks in that time. This mini is sensational!

Exterior:

A total restoration including lots of new metal a few years ago means he presents wonderfully. Extended group 4 arches painted in black with a full bare shell inside & out re-spray in custom "ORE Blue" and black contrasting roof with custom 1275 style decals looks insane! Swiftune racing mirrors, re-chromed bumpers, chrome door handles, uprated head lights with monster spot lights, period reverse lamp, chrome wipers & arms, twin locking fuel caps and a raised bonnet finish the look off perfectly.

 

Interior:

Cobra bucket seats re-trimmed in "Singer style" with original rear seats, matching door cards. Six point roll cage, black leather Astrail steering wheel (super rare), original GT clocks including revs, speed, temp and fuel guage. 4 gauge custom panel with oil temp & pressure, battery voltage, fuel & air mixture looks ace! Also spot the custom switch panel with extra fan, fuel pump, spot lights etc. New carpets and the original door/window furniture look awesome. Just had brand new front & rear seals with black fillers.

 

Chassis/Underneath:

Gaz adjustable all round shocks with Avon cones, adjustable castor & camber arms, rear set to -1, longer competition track rod ends, upgraded brakes including Mini Sport 7.9 alloy 4 pot callipers with vented and grooved discs with upgraded Mintex track day m1144 pads. On the rear there's Mini fins with Mintex rally shoes. C/W braided hoses, braided fuel lines, quick rack, everywhere's polybushed. Paired to stunning grey 10 inch Force racing wheels and super sticky Yoko A032r tyres, this truly is glued to the road!

 

Engine & Box:

Total rebuild by Overton Race engineering on the original 1275 GT block to "1380cc", 10:5-1 comp ratio with Swiftune full race Miglia head and Titan full roller rockers. Swiftune dished pistons & lightened and balanced GT rods, crankshaft is polished & balanced GT unit MED ultralite flywheel clutch setup. Camshaft is a Swiftune SW8 with Swiftune Alloy vernier and Iwis chain. SH engineering filter housing and pipework with Mocal oil cooler. KAD quickshift.  Exhaust is a Fusion fabrications Miglia stainless steel manifold with Maniflow RCM link to Maniflow stainless rear silencer. Inlet is Maniflow/MED 5" unit with Weber 45 and MED DCR kit and ITG filter. Fully electronic dizzy setup locked to curve. Sump guard. Gearbox is a DAM 5625 fully recond box with Swiftune baulks and central oil pick up and Swiftune Miglia windage tray paired to a 4pin Evolution diff! Rolling road tuned to 120bhp with 105 Ibft torque. This mini sounds like no other Mini I've heard! Having only done 1500 miles since build he's ready for some mile munching!


All in all this makes for one next level Mini and of course he goes like a rocket.
