[96jack96]

@dav1emc whats with the extra fuel filler cap? lovely mini by the way mate

[macker1380]

lovely mini dude, some nice period touches added to it,

what year is that shell from though, that's not from 67, more like early to mid 90's,

who did the resto work on it?

[TheJoker2484]

[feckham10]

[chisel954]

[MARINERMINI]

[danKelee]

[sniperwolf1966]

wow!!!! that's orgasmic!!!

[bustyboi2008]

what a car man, i love it and yeah classic mini's all the way!

[Fugitive21]

That's an awesome and beautifully looking Mini. I have the 2007 BMW Mini. Don't hate..just because I don't have previous knowledge for the history of Mini. However I'm appreciating all aspects of the old and new and currently look forward to perhaps restoring a classic Mini in the future :]. Thanks for sharing!

[CrackHamsters]

oh god that front end just makes me jizz my pants so clean omfg!!!

[whitbyjet65]

Yes I agree. I HATE the BMW Mini. It's an cynical imposter. The REAL Mini is a legend.

[jesusfreakdj]

i want one!

[Najo0]

that's painfully beautiful.

[prcilicvrc]

respect!!

[Chingonshushu]

Had just one like it...... Nice ! (although sandals and socks NOT COOL) lool

[GazHasJazzHands]

[C00PER10]

[hegnirst]

[hegnirst]

[slimv29]

[thealabama72]

hey looks beaut...is it a mark 3 shell?

[afatchild]

any engine mods to this?

[newton92able]

what an absolute little minter that is very very nice look to it beautiful have u had to do much upgrading to the structure for the wider wheels u have on it i put some super lights on my cooper years ago but they were so wide they loosend the mounts nocked the wheel bearings out in a matter of weeks the stering rack gave out lol i later found that u have to upgrade the steering rack, brakes, tie bars, strut brace is a must in the end it was so much work i put the original wheels back on lol

[iblade4lyf]

yeaaa boi nice Ive got a1990 Mini red flame pretty standard but urs is lyk sumat else . mine is a beast though !!!

[LDC02]

where did you get ur arches?

[hollayerheard]

[joshieboi005]

I want a mini for my first car =D

[TheSuperstar108]

@joshieboi005 me too . rover mini 1998 zeemax 1380cc

[Billyhadley1965yeah]

Beautiful Mini man! This looks to have been reshelled. It doesn't have the external hinges on the doors like the original Mk1/2 Minis had. Regardless of that it is still a VERY sweet Mini! Have fun with it! I just bought a 1982 Mini and am about to put a '98 Cooper S engine/gearbox in it.

[joeyfinneran]

i love that dash da wood is very nice

[Furious355]

ive got that dash, it does look very nice

[purse1234]

I wish i had that car!

[MartynL445]

New minis sucks balls. Old mini's all the way :). Nice man... i likeee... I have a convertible :D

[Hondaboy27160478]

looked better original... and would turn more heads if you changed it back (although why you want to turn heads is something you should speak to a mental health professional about not Youtubers)

[CrackHamsters]

i AM SO JEALOUS

[bumblbeeee]

What wheel arches are those, mate?

Wanna get some for mine...

Nice motor by the way!

[englandman2008]

would of ben better to restore is as original as possabile..only mod up the newer one's like 1999 becuase its wrong to do it to a 40year old one but its still a nice car

[iGoshiix]

absolute scorcher of a car. i really want to find a mini of the same colour, i found one but it's ridden of rust, in the footwell, doors and side panels! would it be a lot of work to fix it and how much would i be spending??? cheers

[WRLondon]

depends on how rusty she is..

and the condition of all the other components (Engine, subframes, joints, etc...)

if you provide a little bit more info i can give you a ballpark estimate.. :)

im from the UK btw :p

and no im not jealous of his sandals Lol!

[1275Si]

eh its a beauty that little 1 thou mate nice job.

[TheGrahamjones]

did u restore it yourself??

[Pobrais]

Beautiful car but I've got to ask..... Is that a 'real' Mk1 or did you put a Mk1 grille and Mk1 rear lights on it?

One day I WILL have one. Dad's got a Moke which is a lot of fun but driving the classic Mini is more fun.

[WRLondon]

if not, he did spend alot on making it look like one

dateless plate an all..

and alot on a car and alot on a mini are two completely different things Lol

[wakawakawuwi]

its better than the new mini any day

[OzParkPilot]

Looks so great !!! So what haters ? so its a mark 5,6 or 7 on Mk1 plates...Its a great looking Mini and kicks ass. Atleast he can keep the plates alive.... get your interiour sorted and you got one hell of a mini ! I`m thinking Cobra set from hudderfield ?

[WRLondon]

Lol, nice sandals

socks with sandals? :S

[iGoshiix]

jealous? :P

[danwarne08]

the only bad bit in the video is the socks and sandels, guess he din't realise just how shinny has mini was.

[DEXISWOLF]

what interior is that is it red hot or jet black

[markyarsenal]

i agree this is hopefull my first car lol

[Tefflar]

40 years old my @rse...

It's a MK3 made to look like a MK1

[mectechman1]

I'll have to agree.

If it was a mk I, it would have been a shame to modernize it like this one. It seems to be a typical easy made mk I wannabe.

Would be interesting to see/know more of what the reg.papers say on this.

It doesn't even get close to the real and pure mk I look.

Nice car though, and I bet someone put a lot of money and effort into this baby. Caps of for that.

/mtm

[nprules]

so...shiny!!!!

[frankea50]

i cant wait to et one of these babies. FIRST CAR!!! yeh then hopefully a Ford Capri

[MarcinM592]

i agree look awesome would buy one in a million years :D highly recomend!

[justwolf71]

Nice min the black and chrome looks gr8 and others that give you bad rep there just Jealous. Its still a mini and well looked after nice job.

[Landy13oy]

ignor the twats this is a really nice mini!

i wish mine looked this cool

[1RadNomad]

Nice looking Mini well done :-) but...

1) It's trying to look like a MKI but has later type wider rear window, later doors, wings and dashboard so it seems to be a MKII (or more likely MKIII) Mini in disguise...

2) Only boy racers fit 7J wide rims. They look nice but spoil the handling, give nervous feel (excessive track groove sensitivity), side-load the wheel bearings due to large offset and are wider than needed for the 175/50x13 tyres. 6Jx13 rims are the upgrade for serious tuners.

[burton76]

stick to 6 x 10's on avon cut slicks or yokos for serious handling! but i've have 7 x 13's on my min, nothing beats the look

[ejumakatedac]

anyone have Monte Carlo's fitted?

[ejumakatedac]

what kind of arches are those? I love the look.... can't wait to get my mini back!

[Fevmeister]

Look like group 5s

[burton76]

they are rover sports pack arches, check out minisport or minispares!

[bihlis91]

Great looking mini,amazing colour! What's the name of the colour?

[jprp27]

the MINI was the original one, the BMW is just ano thertotally different car with the MINI logo

[imadeuread]

thats a nice car

[garethwooduk]

I've always preferred the classic mini.. way much better than the bmw!!!!

[austinpowers1977]

people who buy the so called new mini think its cool thinking its part of the old mini r totally wrong! the new "mini" isnt a mini at all. its a BMW which r shit and germen too. The real mini is british! and so much better!

[tylerkb12]

Damn straight! Kraut cars suck. My first car was a 1974 MGB-GT. Best car I ever owned. And the line about British cars being poor quality? Bullshit. Put 40000 miles on it and all I ever replaced was a $17 set of brake pads and a $40 alternator because it was the ORIGINAL one that was 25 yrs old. Ran great in all weather, started every time, looked great, best sounding 4 cylinder ever. It was even good in the snow! Only bad thing was 18mpg from a 1.8L.

[afatchild]

agreed i have a 94 mini 1.3i and i love it to bits but need my wide arches done £300 quid for fitting and painting but ah well

[loudvalves650cc]

What a corker!

[losikyff]

love in got am 08 now i neeeed a classic!

[jaytseng]

how to modify it into a powerful and fast monster?

[caseman86]

u dont have to excuse 4 ur breath !

great mini !

[GUY23R]

nice mini, but y have you put a 1000 badge on it if your trying to sport it up? lol

[spiralisedcat]

your minis proper nice weldone!! as yes its worth a thousand of those nasty bmw's how dare they use the name mini cooper its a scandal in my books lol

[dav1emc]

chears m8 thanks for the comments

and very true new minis never be better

[maloney4lfc]

@dav1emc i agree! im learning to drive in a mini cooper (bmw) its a good handle but i would rather this car i want it !

[50ccpower]

Absolutely great mini! I have a green mini, i believe it to be almond green but a bit darker with white roof, i have the 10 inch wheels, a bodykit and a DTM exhaust, but its no where in the condition of yours. Do you have any videos of the car driving?

[dav1emc]

chears for the comment will be putting a vid on soon with it driving sounds spot on, and just keep at your own itll get there

[shazam1234567]

how much is the insurance?

[dav1emc]

classic insurance m8 very cheap about 150 a year

[hornet466]

My insurance on my '76 mini thousand is pushin £1400 a year, best i could get with the mods, the perils of being young haha :)

[burton76]

try a classic policy! could save you, specially with limited mileage.

[hornet466]

Its a classic mini policy with limited mileage, and i shopped around, ALOT.

[s2gmix]

fuckin monster mate,lush as fuck that car!!!!!respect!!

[dav1emc]

cheers bud pride and joy

[sazzynbrad]

Wow 'principools' you certainly know your mini's!! I have an 86 mini mayfair and hopefully one day i'll have enough knowledge to recognise parts! but about the vid i think the car did look loverly, the wheel arches are not for me but still looks great! 

"Keep the minimadness alive!!!!!!"

[dav1emc]

cheers

[88luke88]

i like the breathing lol sounds like a peado pervin on the car... brillianntt !!!

[dav1emc]

hey i ment that noise lol

[dunfoRe]

those lights are hideous :S

[munchmst]

car looks good but would be better if it was original shell and not a mark 3/4 rebuild?

[principools]

Ditto that, I love minis to bits, but this is a mongrel, made up of all the wrong bits, Mk V wings, mk I boot, Mk III boot handle, Mk III doors MK III rear panel with MK I rear lights, alla bit odd really, not even started on those hideous wheel arches,,,,,,,,,, sorry (awaits abuse)

[munchmst]

car looks good but would be better if was original shell and not a mark 3 0r 4 rebuild???

[mjthefast]

how fast does it go and how old do you have to be to drive it

[bamboo555]

Like the rims
