Looking for a pristine Mini based sports car to celebrate the Mini's 60th anniversary this Summer? Look nu further. One particularly nice Mini Jem has just come up for sale in France. It's a 1969 Mk2 that's been fully restored recently and only driven some 200 kms since. This owner clearly prefers working on cars than driving them.
I have seen a full file of pictures of the car's restoration and I dare to say this was a thorough job. The steel sections in the car's body cut out where corrosion had done its work and replaced before being re-glassed into the shell. The rear wheel arches were remade from the Mini Jem's mould while many new parts were fitted while building up the car - from its interior to just about anything bolted to its fully rebuilt 1293 engine. You can find all the car's details in the advertisement found here. Do keep in touch when you buy it.
