1977 Mk4 Mini Road Legal Race Car / Show Car
Up for sale is probably one of the best mini’s in New Zealand, I wish I could keep it but unfortunately it has to go! Don’t miss out! being sold at a massive discount as I am moving overseas.
I bought the car standard over 10 years ago and have built it into what it is today, I have a lot of receipts but am too scared to add them up but I would say over $50k has been spent – no expense spared, only the best new parts used and thousands of hours or work put into it! The car is finished, nothing left to do to the engine (only 3,000kms since new!) infact the whole car wouldn’t have done more than 10,000kms in the last decade! Car is always garaged and never driven in the rain. Only bit of rust is a 5cm patch in bottom of passenger door (where they all rust).For those who like to tinker, rest assured there are plenty of things you can still do J The car is completely road legal and fly’s through WOF’s, a motor sport authority card is held for the roll cage and harnesses, a log book is also included with only 4 meetings (only track days and classic trials). Below is a list of specs but this is just the start, just about everything has been replaced (right down to nuts and bolts!) with new standard or race spec parts:
