Is it worth recovering this piece?
What would be the cost and would be willing to pay or money is not important

Good morning Solomorris, if you look in the back pages of "The Old Bike Mart" you will see motor bikes in such a condition by comparison this mini would be 'showroom'!
If it can be made, it can be restored.
Cheers, Tony. |

Definitely recoverable as a labour of love, but if it involves paying to have the work done then forget it; buy a better one. |

Its a mark 2 and those are the rarest of them minis although the mk 1 is more sought after but that should be savable. I've seen your work and am 100% sure you can put it back on the road without too much drama!
So go on, make a start and it should be ready by the end of the year

Does that shell have an identity? |

Hi
Would a restorer have to source, or restore if it is still there, Hydrolastic suspension or would the original Mk1 or later rubber suspension fit _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
Any 2 from:-
Straight 6
V8 V10 |
