Restomod Build Diary

This is the sister US demo car but with a more traditional Mini look with chrome bumpers and accessories along with side repeaters. Again extensively restored, with Nardo Grey exterior and gloss black roof.

The motorsport theme was still present with perspex side and rear windows, bucket seats and harnesses. An aftermarket ECU was fitted along with our solid state electronics setup, steering-wheel mounted controls for variable boost and traction control. With the same 300 BHP and 300 ft. lbs. of torque, 400 BHP per ton capable. An LSD was also fitted.

Black Minilite alloys were fitted with Yokahoma A048 semi slick tyres. A Coolerworx gear shifter is being shipped for retrofit.
