Austin - Mini Special Grand Prix - 1978

This 1978 Mini is very unique! Converted in the late 90s with a Mini-Grand Prix set, supplied in Germany via Austin Rover dealer MASSA. This gave the car an extra sporty look and interior. In the 2000s it was equipped with a 1. 4L tuned engine block with a special camshaft, carburettors, oil pump, manifold, clutch, shock absorbers, exhaust etc. Driving this Mini is very special and particularly fast! The bodywork was repainted in the special colour Tahiti Blue Metallic with a white roof, no rust or damage. The car drives, shifts, brakes and steers great. The brakes have been completely overhauled and a reinforced subframe has been fitted underneath. The car has not been welded. No effort or expense were spared in getting the Mini in this condition. It was recently (6/2018) valued at 21,500 euros. This Mini is truly special and one of a kind! A Dutch periodic vehicle inspection can be arranged upon delivery. The car can be viewed and picked up in Bussum, The Netherlands. It is recommended to view the car prior to placing a bid in order to prevent disappointment afterwards.
