I purchased this Mini in March 2022 after it spent 15 years off the road in a heated warehouse. The previous owner had a bump in 2006 to the front wing and front panel this resulted in the car being registered as a category D. I do not have any photos of the damage, but the Mini was repaired in early 2007 and went into a private collection.
I have spent a huge amount of money during my ownership.

There is probably more, but this is off the top of my head. I have changed what’s needed to be done, but a lot has been done for aesthetic reasons!
The interior is absolutely pristine, the only thing not original is the stereo. The original mats are still fitted, it smells like new inside.
The exterior is very very clean, there is little to no rust.
The drivers side a panel has a very small blister, the size of a 20p. The underside is very clean, there has never been any welding repairs. It’s a very solid little car.
The Mini starts and drives extremely well.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my ownership, but I am looking to buy my first home, this has brought me to the decision to part with my pride and joy.
I will really miss this car, I hope the new owner has as much fun in it as I have!
The Mini has always been garaged since my ownership, it’s never been washed or been out in the rain.
