Externally they could be distinguished by their muscular stance with flared wheel arches and 13" sports alloy wheels, four spot lamps and Platinum-coloured roof and bonnet stripes

The 'Sport' also featured an updated interior with stylish nickel-silver and black leather trim, drilled and polished alloy door and window handles and a Sport dash in turned alloy silver and black finish

This example is finished in Metallic British Racing Green (WNS) with a Platinum Silver cap (MNX)

Ground-up restoration completed in 2018/19 including a comprehensive refurb of the bodywork and engine bay

Full engine rebuild and full mechanical check and overhaul as required

Recent enhancements include suspension upgrades (adjustable tie bars and Hi-Lo suspension) all completed by Jonathan Lewis at Snetterton Speed Shop

Always dry stored and having covered just 2,000 miles since completion, the Mini remains in superb order throughout
