Classic Mini Coopers are right up there on our list of favorite cars, so we’re always excited to get one in the shop. This particular Cooper came to us in great condition, but our client wants it fully restored to excellent standards. So we’ve rolled up our sleeves and started a full, ground-up, show-quality restoration to make this Mini even better than new.
In addition to the restoration, we’ll also be doing some performance upgrades that should really enhance the drivability of the car.
The photos below show the car stripped to its bare paint, as well how it’s coming together after getting back from paint. We’re just now putting the engine back in!
We’re just getting started, so if you’re interested in following our progress, head on over to our Facebook page and give us a like. Project update announcements will be delivered right to your newsfeed! Comments and questions are always welcome.

Yes! Finally something about classic mercedes.
very nice – but not the original shell – looks like a standard MK3
I have early 60 mini woody wagon. needs complete restoration. Not trying to keep original or concourse restoration, just nice looking driver that if dependable and functional. It has 1275cc in it but not the cooper motor. Would like to keep woody trim and maybe fill in with vinyl wood product rather than leave car color. Paint in a bright lime green (like airport fire trucks) with tan front seats and rear storage area just planked out with wood for storage / transportation of camping and coolers storage.
It has mini lites already. Had fiberglass tilt forward bonnet.
