Up for sale is my 1993 Rover Mini Mayfair 1275 that has recently undergone a full restoration after being off the road for the previous 12 years.
The bodyshell has been restored by myself to a high standard, I have taken photos throughout the whole restoration process so you can see the work that has been carried out, the restoration work included fitting new front panel, wings, A-panels, heritage scuttle panel, heritage top dash rail, bulkhead repairs, flitch panels, inner windscreen pillars, inner A pillars, full heritage floor panel, heritage crossmember, sills, heelboard end repairs, heritage boot floor and battery tray, door skins, door steps and door bottoms, rear valance and closing panels and other various repairs. The shell was then epoxy primed, filler primed and painted in waterbased paint then finished with 2k lacquer, the underside was sprayed with tintable raptor coating and all box sections have also been waxoyled so hopefully it should be good to go for at least another 30 years!

Mechanically it's had the same attention as the bodyshell, has had many new parts including, all perishable items such as rubbers/fuel hoses/coolant pipes etc, water pump, thermostat, air cleaner, oil filter, rocker cover gasket, fuel filter, fuel tank sender, alternator, oil pressure switch, temperature sensor, HT leads, coil, distributor cap and ignition module, bulkhead cover, clutch friction plate, flywheel oil seal, timken front wheel bearings, track rod ends, steering rack, balljoint kits, top arm rebuilt kits, radius arm rebuild kits, discs, pads, exhaust twin silencers, handbrake cables, clutch and brake master cylinders, new brake lines through out, AP clutch slave cylinder, tyres, shock absorbers, new rear subframe, Minifin alloy drums on the back and probably other parts that I've forgotten! All other mechanical parts have been finished in black epoxy.

Interior is also in great condition with no rips or tears, new door cards have been made front and back and new companion bin closing panels. Headlining also in great condition.
Radio is original but currently not working! It turns on, all lights work etc but not getting any sound unless it's turned up to full volume then you can just about hear the sound coming through! Has had a new ariel and speakers.
Heated rear screen untested although light on dash works.
Overall a great little example restored to its original state. The 1275 manual engine has covered 65116 miles, this may increase slightly as I'm still driving it, it runs and drives very well and has been well looked after by its 2 previous owners (I'm the third owner). Comes with 12 months MOT (from April 2024) and no advisories so is ready to be enjoyed by whoever purchases! Comes with a small amount of service history and original owners manual, I also have the splash shield that covers the front of the engine which will be included in the sale too.
I'm sure I've missed some bits out so if there's anything else you'd like to know please get in touch I'm more than happy to answer questions.
Viewings also welcome. Many thanks! Read more
