The GB Mini Garage - The Classic Mini Specialists
We’re a small, old fashioned Mini specialist based in Sheffield. Always here to help, we love what we do and there is never any sales pressure whatsoever, pop down for a coffee and a chat if there is anything we can help you with.
We export our Mini’s around the world and personally deliver them throughout the UK. That being said, it is always nicer to meet people in person.
Our landline is 0114 438 1816 and our mobile or WhatsApp number is 07542 685 869. Our website is gbminigarage.com and our instagram @gbminigarage.
Reggie the Rover Metallic Tahiti Blue x White 1986 Austin Mini Sportspack 1275cc (Performance Metro/Cooper Spec) - 12 Months MOT, No Advisories, Soon to be Tax & MOT Exempt
Upgraded to the 61bhp engine (Metro), you have more power, more compression and a significantly upgraded camshaft. When combined with her HIF 38 carburettor, K&N air filter and her long centre manifold leading to the Play Mini straight through twin pipe exhaust, you are driving 60-70% more power than factory standard.
Combining this power with her 600kg weight and the iconic, rally winning, classic mini handling you have a terrific and/or terrifying drive.
Having had her professionally tuned by a well known specialist, her power has been optimised.
Being classically carburettor fuelled, you are whisked back to a different decade of motoring, the sounds, the smells and the feeling, pure nostalgia.
Being restored to a high standard, you don’t have to worry about rust. Underneath she is solid, with great floors, subframes and the correct vented sills (see the pictures). These have a layer of under seal to prevent corrosion.
Having an early build date she will, within two to three years, have free road tax, ULEZ exemption and mot exemption, saving you money. In the meantime, she is supplied with 12 months MOT with no advisories, for your peace of mind. She is also supplied fully serviced with a range of new parts, ready to enjoy.
Her six digit registration is original and she still displays her original dealer stamped rear number plate .
Things to note, she’s not brand new, but she’s an awesome example. One of her aftermarket gauges (Amps) isn’t wired in and her headlining is original so it has some marks (we usually dye these and they come out lovely). She was involved in a minor accident in the year 2000 and is recorded as having had light damage, albeit has since been fully restored with all parts replaced.
