The vendor has provided the following:

• Matilda a Mini City was first registered 23rd December 1985, and has had 7 owners not much is known about her previous life although she had a replacement second-hand engine block and head in 2014 and Stage 1 performance kit fitted (Manifolds, Exhaust, Carb, and K&N Filter).
• I bought her in December 2015 with an MOT but looking a bit sad. She was totally stripped and sent to Williams Mini's in Peterborough, where the shell got a new front end, sills, and boot floor (all heritage panels), and then after priming and stone chipping was painted Suft Blue with a white roof.
• The engine was stripped and sent to Lyndale Engines in Peterborough where the block was bored 020 the head and block cleaned and inspected, and new pistons and rings fitted. I rebuilt the engine with all new bearings, oil pump, water pump, radiator, and hoses.
• The gearbox was rebuilt as standard with new bearings and seals by Trade Transmissions.
  The car was re-assembled with all new rubber, seals, suspensions, cones, ball joints, CVs, radius arms, and wiring loom. The front subframe is original but the rear is a replacement. All brake components have been replaced.
• The interior is from Mini Trimmings.
• So, still a genuine car with a stage one kit but all potentially troublesome parts renewed.
• MOT is still current and runs until May 2023.
