First of all welcome to this incredibly reluctant auction for my much loved bespoke mini. The reason for sale is purely down to the fact that i need to buy a house, of which depends on the sale of most of my belongings!
This car has been my life for the past 6 and a half years, and as you can imagine, i will literally cry when i see it go! Please do not ask me what i want for it because naturally im going to want as much as i can get for it. The auction has a reserve that i will not let the car go for less than, so if you are not serious about buying the car, do not bid, serious bidders only.
Please contact me to arrange a viewing. I am not open to serious offers? But please do not waste my time and yours if you have no intension of following through with it.
As it stands the car is just as it is in the pictures, there is no digital enhancing with the pictures, it really is that good, if not better in my opinion. It has just been put through its MOT, and the car also has 5 and a half months worth of tax.
The only point to note is the state of tune of the engine-i have spent the last year ironing out all the possible problems that naturally come from these types of projects, therefore the engine has not had its final tuning. The reason for this is simple, it is upto the new owner as to what sort of bhp he or she desires, the engine was built to give me the option, it will give upto 180bhp with ease, but for me a nice driveable 140bhp is much more suitable. But im not keeping it! so it will need a couple of hours on the rolling road to tune it to your required bhp. Please bare this in mind when bidding. I will obviously help the new owner with this if the right price is reached. As it stands i would estimate to be running 100bhp- simply because im only running 7psi of boost, just so i could put the miles on the engine, making sure nothing was wrong, and doing so in a safe manner. It will be a rocketship when finally tuned.
The car drives superbly, very quite apart from the straight cut gears, nearly no exhaust note- all turbo and blow off valve. The interior has 3 times the amount of sound-deadening installed to not only reduce road noise, but to also give a perfect sound stage for the audio installation- which will blow your head off. There is an endless list of modifications and bespoke parts that i have fabricated, so hear is a basic overview

Please remember, do not make me any offers over the phone, and please do not ask me what i want for it as I cannot put a price on it, it will go for the highest offer and/or who turns up first.
Overseas bidders please contact me first as i am willing to arrange to meet you with the car to deliver anywhere you like.
Please realise that this car has cost me more than you can imagine in both time, effort, and money! Not to mention the actual blood sweat and tears! To pay someone to create this car again, i am sure would cost well over £30K, in labour and parts alone. So i believe that the price is a bargain, as this is a totally unique and bespoke car. In my opinion, you will never find a better made minion the planet.
For all the quesions coming in, yes i do make the Dashboards and door cards, and offer everything from basic GRP shells, to a full Fitting service, so if anyone is interested , please email me at abdesigns@live.co.uk. many thanks
