Up for bid by Stekelenburg Classic Cars is this beautifully restored and
customized 1978 classic Mini. Stekelenburg Classic Cars established in 1998, located in the Netherlands specializes in European Classic Cars, and stocks
many classic Minis and parts.
This restored classic left the factory in 1978 with an 850 cc engine. The
initial restoration was done by a Mini enthusiast who used to work at a
Dutch classic Mini dealership. He finished his restoration a few years
ago, and customized the car to his own wishes. This car has a desirable (all
metal) “
flip front
”, new Mini
all leather seats,
heated
seats
, quick release
Momo steering
wheel and
racing
seatbelts. We just replaced the master brake cylinder and
brake pads all around.
Technical details:
Dutch registration: 85-UN-75
Vin number: XK2S11104160B
The 850 cc engine was replaced by a
reconditioned
1275 cc
engine with a
reconditioned
gearbox/manual transmission.
The Mini shifts perfectly (both up and down) in any gear, it has perfect
oil pressure, no oil leaks at all, and runs and drives the way a 1978 Mini
should. During restoration, many parts were replaced; the master brake
cylinder, the clutch cylinder and brake lines have been replaced with new
copper lines. It has an alloy radiator and engine was upgraded to feature
electronic fuel ignition. The 1275cc engine was fully serviced; needless to say
all new oil, filters and spark plugs. If you have any technical questions
about this Mini please feel free to ask me.
The car comes with 2 sets of wheels:
10 inch painted Minilite wheels with race tires (see pictures)
12 inch polished wheels with centers painted in a gold color fitted with a set
of snow tires (see pictures)
Bodywork:
Body has been completely restored to a high standard. Not patch welded.
Previous owner has restored with all new front fenders, new sills, new door
plates, and a new front. Floors are perfectly solid. The car is painted inside
and out in a beautiful bright orange color that shows off Mini’s racing
heritage. Very nice paint job! No rust or rust bubbles. The front and rear
sub frames are solid and looks very nice. NO RUST AT ALL! If you would like
additional bodywork pictures, please feel free to ask.
Interior and exterior:
New black carpet set, new trim panels, piano black dashboard, (please
note: the right side glove box door has a deep scratch on the paint) black
headliner, new Mini black leather seats, racing seatbelts, quick release Momo
steering wheel. The chrome looks nice and is in good condition, new set of fog
lights in the front, nice grille and new bumpers. The door handles are pitting
a little bit, but still look good. No back seat to accommodate racing
seatbelts and extra set of tires.
