Great video, I had the same exhaust issue going over a speed hump in a multi-storey car park in Bishops Stortford, Essex around 1998, the mini was lowered and the clamp bolts where hanging down as well- drove home with the exhaust sticking out of the passenger window like a flag pole- fun times!

Exposing that red colour on the engine must have been really satisfying. That was cruddy :)

That's well worth getting back on the road. And the colour scheme is very mini. Great work. Really enjoy this channel!

Definitely a nice little car. Judging by the engine colour I assume that it's a 1275cc. Don't like that black engine bay, sorry. I think that you'll get more more it with standard seats and a mk 1 oval dashboard and without the roll cage. As you're going to sell it, I assume that you changed your mind about telling us what you paid for it.
