Meet Gilbert. MEGA LOW ODDS competition.
You see before your eyes one of the rarest production Minis ever made!
A fully restored to concours condition Mini Cooper 997.
Having undergone a recent total restoration by a well know Mini restorer to as factory specifications, Gilbert presents perfectly! Lots of new metal work including full floors, wings, bonnet, valance, rear valance and more. The colour of choice was his original shade of old english white with a contrasting black roof. All new old stock bumpers, grill etc plus his original handles. Finishing off the as factory spec are the 3.5 inch Cooper wheels.
Interior wise factory spec was the plan, so all new Newton Commercial Tartan red and gold brocade seats with matching door cards, door bins, dash etc. Plus new plush red carpets. His original centre 100 mph speedo, steering wheel and an upgraded alloy gear knob and handbrake lever finish him off perfectly.
Under the bonnet sits his original 997cc engine thats been fully rebuilt. Twin SU's and again to factory spec. Gilbert drives like a new car from 1962! He's bonkers good. All new subframes, brakes, exhaust etc. He's completed 300 miles since completion and only on sunny dry days.
ULEZ compliant.
