Meet Pickle.
The "Cafe racer" vibe is becoming more and more popular and I can see why! Here we have a stunning example.
Fully restored and rebuilt a few years ago by an exceptionally talent welder/fabricator. He started with a 1972 Mini 850 that required full restoration (spot the double gutter) this included lots of new metal including Front panel, quarter panels, A panels, door skins, M Machine floors and some repairs to the inner wings and scuttle, Heritage panels were used. The decision on colour had already been made, Mazda Neo green, so lots of fresh paint was added so the build could progress. Dinitrol wax everywhere for future protection. Of course all new or refurbished stainless steel accessories are mint and the door circles finish the external look off.
Internally Pickle truly shines, a full Harris tweed and tan leather interior is a master piece, seats, door cards, dash pieces, roof lining, rear parcel shelft and all other required trims. Paired with brand new Newton commercial carpets its perfect. Spot the rear roll cage painted in black. DSN interior handle set, Britax Cooper wood rimmed steering wheel and period correct wooden gearknob finish the interior off fantastically. The original speedo has been retained and had the all important addition of water temp & oil pressure gauges.
Under the bonnet sits a freshly built revy 998cc engine. Fully rebuilt and reworked 998 block has been paired to a stage 2 tuned 1098cc head thats had all the usual work. everything else is new. Hs2 carb has been rebuilt and is paired to a Maniflow LCB and system, he sounds epic! The gearbox has had the same treatment and the addition of a short shifter. Cooling is taken care of by an alloy radiator and silicon hoses. Twin bolt subframes are correct. Braking is Cooper S calipers, Greenstuff pads and Goodridge hoses. Suspension wise you've got new red spot cones, Hi-los, Gaz shocks, refurbed radius arms, poly bushed, you also have front camber & castor adjustment along with rear camber & toe adjustment. A brand new wiring loom was also added to make sure theres none of those usual Mini gremlins. Ultralite 10x4.5 alloys painted black and wrapped in Blockley 165/70/10 rubber keep you connect to the road.
