We’re incredibly pleased with how the restoration of this Mini Cooper S turned out. The car looks fantastic and drives even better. It’s honestly one of the nicest driving and best-handling Minis we’ve ever driven. We updated the car with four-wheel, power-assist disc brakes which work beautifully. The suspension is very trick with a coil spring conversion, sways bars front and rear, and fully adjustable control arms. The suspension is very smooth, but it sure does handle amazingly on the road.
For the upholstery, our client wanted something luxurious but also sporty. And we feel we delivered. The upholstery was all fully restored with leather, and even heated seats were installed for comfort. The wood dash looks fantastic and really sets off the upholstery. Did we mention how comfortable it is?

Congratulations on a great resto. I’m still working through my 78 Clubman S. Slow and steady wins the race.
