f**k, that's a lot of history!
Thats not all of it! I ran out of room!

Stick a 1275 lump from a MG Metro & mate it to an RC5 exhaust.
I've wanted a classic Mini Cooper for ages, just to keep clean and warm in my garage.
I'm jealous. Would love one of these. Look forward to seeing the progress.
So jealous Mark! Awesome buy!
Looks very nice,
cant beat a classic mini even if they do have a Honda engine fitted. ;-)
i agree on the a series engine having more character than the Honda engine but I built mine for trackdays and I wanted reliable power which unfortunately you don't get with the a series :-(
I had a highly tuned 1430 when I was 18 and it spent more time in bits than running :-(
id say stick with the 998 with just an exhaust and filter if its just going to be a weekend cruiser and wait for the attention your going to heras everyone loves amino wether they are young or old
This is my Mini, lots of KAD stuff, MB racing 3 piece split rims, Curly Carbon bits and a AvonBar Racing 1380 with a Weber 45 DCOE, roller tip rockers, Richard Longman big valve head
Cut and raised rear arches....the list goes on and on.
Yours looks like a good base mate.

Love the wheels. My pops has just sent his clubman 1275gt of to be dipped and shot blasted (and inevitably its gonna turn into a tea strainer), cant wait to get it back. Unbelievable how cheap the tuning parts are for old minis!

i have already done that with mine its great fun and pretty nippy but im tempted with another and stick with the a series,the honda engine is just to bloody reliable and takes away the fun of having to be under the bonnet every ten minutes fixing something which is what mini ownership is aboutSubscribed! and got me thinking too! B18 in one of those is what I'd do
Take more pictures. Asshole.
Surely the wiring for these is relatively simple?
