Our newest edition to the family, this exceptionally good looking Mini R50 turns heads wherever it goes!

Rule#4 in the Mini code is no two minis should look the same and this is definitely true of The Mighty Minwah! Decked out in a smart metallic hulk green and original silver for the back end, clean lines and a fantastic look inside and out for this one! Hard to believe this has been painted using only rattle cans with suitable attachment = primer-basecoats-clear coat for that professional look.

Mechanically was Ok when we got her, the heater matrix was replaced and a proper ball-ache that was, had to take it to Mad4Mini in the end which is a bug bear as we like to do our own mechanics when possible.
As of writing it has also had a wheel bearing replaced and two new front tyres as in the space of just 2 months we have had 3 punctures!! Never known it! Also both drive shafts replaced, front top strut mounts, a couple of abs sensors and yes, another wheel bearing and gearbox service for good measure. I don’t think this car has been looked after very well over the past 20 years – happily is now feeling the love it deserves.
