Almost As New - Alfred the 1993 Rover Mini Italian Job Ltd Edition (1 of 105) 1275cc
Undoubtedly, one of the best examples on the market, she is in almost as new, recently left the factory condition, the photographs speak for themselves.
She is the special Italian Job limited edition released in partnership with the film makers to commemorate the film, one of the rarest and most sought after models, one of just one hundred and five remaining.
She has benefited from the most in depth and contemplative professional grade restoration, a rebuild that took ten years. Accordingly, she is in, almost recently left the factory, condition. Her original engine and gearbox are newly rebuilt, covering 1200 miles only. All metalwork has been replaced with new panels, using NOS Rover or Heritage panels only and the correct vented sills. Her subframes are brand new. All moving parts and/or mechanical parts are brand new. All fasteners are zinc plated. Great lengths were taken to source only genuine parts, maintaining her factory bolt on parts, having these shot blasted and re-powder coated. Electronically, a factory wiring loom was sourced from an 18,000 mile Mini. There are levels of rebuild and this one is outstanding. The rebuild is documented on a CD.
What I love most about her is, and car people will understand this, whilst she is pretty much immaculate, her paintwork is ten years old and her mechanical parts at least five. The fact that they remain as new today is testament to the preparation and quality of the restoration, you know that she has been done right and that she will remain right, you don’t have to worry about the usual degradation.
Andrew has owned her for 10 years and there is a really touching story as to why she is now looking for a new home, it’s personal and not mine to tell, but this is a rare opportunity to purchase a car which is truly loved.
Specification wise, she is ready for the most challenging of international bank jobs having the sought after 1275cc engine which when combined with her iconic, rally winning, classic Mini handling makes her terrific and/or terrifying to drive. Her power has been tastefully upgraded with a HIF38 carburettor and a Play Mini / Manifold LCB & RC40 exhaust system. Her handling has been upgraded with KYB gas shock absorbers. We have also had her professionally tuned by a well known engine tuner, this makes a world of difference, adds to much fun.
She is supplied ready to drive away, fully serviced, professionally tuned, supplied with a fresh 12 month MOT with no advisories.
The only things that could detract are a few marks on her seats which I will try to valet out and a small 5p blister hidden behind her rear bumper, such being incredible to find after ten years, a testament to her build quality.
