1995 Mini Mayfair

This like so many minis had previously had MOT so called repairs! Meaning over sills and patches of metal here and there.

It was mechanically very good and the current owners wanted our advice if it was worth keeping or should they find a better Mini.

As we tell most owners the choice is yours but it is sometimes better to keep the devil you know and have the body work overhauled

So this is what they decided to do. I think the results speak for themselves.

Poorly repaired boot floor showing patches added over time!
