Have owned many Minis and still think that that final sound track is one of the sweetest engine notes ever. I used to make the wife drive down the road in my 1969 1293 Cooper S with LCB so that I could listen to that soundtrack.. Feckin marvelous.
Wow awesome Retro Mini Cooper My had a Morris Mini Cooper Mk 1 Reg No XDL 861 in green with white roof back in the 60's he also had a spotlight on the back of his
beautiful workmanship and an excellent quality video , the colour and modifications really suit the car , brilliant job thank you for sharing your work and passion
I watched this video and moved to like button amd realised that I liked it before!!Amazing video...One day I will restore one rather than buying a new one! :)
oh my goodness i have literally just read the last miniworld magazine with your mini star in it on page 14 and then i go to watch UA-cam vids and watch this, so cool ! :)
Very good video and very nice work. I'm old enough to have restored genuine "S" 's ( is that english!) I think l probably " minivated" (that's how l described my mini's) in excess of 50. One man band. I live in Teignmouth may pop around one day. I think l saw your phone number in one of your shots.
RestoShack Devon just finished my sons Mg Midget in dark grey with dark red soft top was going to replicate on mini but lighter grey looks cracking. If you see one that looks exactly same as yours one day probably be me lol
@@cloudcrazy5156 you could put 10x5 without arches. They WILL stick out about 1/4" on top. More on the bottom sides of the wheel well. I think however that if you are not puting flares, you should go with 4.5. mainly because it will look more authentic and handle better. There is a reason why race minis use 4.5 rose petals or steelies in competition. The car handles better.
Calling this a "restoration" is an insult to the word. Nothing is original in this car, not even the engine which is a metro/mg engine judging by the valve cover.

God damn you had a big budget for this. And must say you spent it wisely.

What a beaut and so good to see the old badges and not one of those hideous 90s bonnet badges
Lucky guy, not one but three Mk1 Mini Coopers! Car looked and sounded GREAT!
Proper Coopers unlike these BIG German ones today.
Sorry to be picky but their actually a Mk VI (the grey one) and Mk VIIs (the pair in the back ground) I do agree they look fab though
Nice resto-mod and a video that didn't take all day showing how you did it.
What a beautifully restored mini. John
Looks incredible! Love watching stuff like this, giving me motivation to get min back on the road
Oh beauty! You need to give me one of those Minis.

Where did you find those racer aluminum floorboards?
Custom Made 👍
O_O 😍
Great job on the shell, but a bit of a odd ball spec. not a nice little road car and not a competion car.
good car quel est le code couleur de la mini ? j aime beaucoup cette couleur !
do the mk1 boot lids fit the later models?
As far as know they do, this car is a back date. It a 92 shell made into a mk1 tribute
What colour grey is it?
Chris Stephenson tweed grey 👍
So does anyone know the name of the color ?
It’s tweed grey and the roof is old English white
Nice looking car. If it's going to look like a mk one. Why not go out n out and make it look like one.
What's the specs of your minilite and yokohama tires?
Tires are Yokohama 165/70R10. Wheels are Milites 10X5. Not my car, just know the specs.
Juan Briz will 10x5 minilites look and work fine w/out any wheels arches or you would recommend 10x4.5 instead? I am not a fan orld wheels arches.

Do mine please mine is in need of bodywork love badly
What's color is..?? Helpme! thanks
Saul Pazan y Sus Vallenatos tweed grey 👍
What arches?
Carl Howland carbon fibre replicas of original works Rally spats from the 60s
fix your hashtags (administrator-edit video, it should get more views) Also what exhaust is that?
What are we doing wrong with our hashtags chap ?
Song?
Keith Grima the song was written for us by a local musician Steve Forrest
resto shack its almost as amazing as the car ;) great job, absolute masterpiece
Paint job is terrible! Where's the orange peel effect that BMC used to manage so easily?? ;¬)
as much as its ok to replicate the original, I don't like the fact that It's badged up as a cooper s
