Mini 1275 ‘Italian Job’ 19-02-1993 V5C sorn
This is only one of a limited run of 1000 produced. Less than 200 of this model are estimated to exist.
In the main it is original (apart from front wings and Bonnet, and of course new replacement engine components) I cant emphasise enough how genuine this all is. There was a massive amount of effort to get the body in its present state. Thanks for reading through.

Due to personal relocation reasons I am sadly unable to reach the finished product. I feel that in this state it may suit certain enthusiasts from a cost point and also that much of the slog has already been done. Some people may appreciate to have it at this stage I dont know.
Im not interested in stupid offers. I am willing to negotiate but this is all very genuine, all the parts are from the major UK suppliers. This is a chance to acquire a rare little mini in a condition where you have choices of where you want to go with it.
Some purchases are needed not many:
Its possibly not an exhaustive list as I only got stuff as I required it.
It should be a question of tweaking it all after that.
I can negotiate a delivery of all items with reasonable distance UK. I have advertised elsewhere.
