Presenting this remarkable and one-off ‘1978 Turbocharged Austin Mini Van’, a recent arrival that exemplifies unparalleled quality and rarity. Once humble work-mobiles of the 70s and 80s, these vehicles have now transformed into coveted symbols of street cool. However, this Mini Van goes above and beyond the standard.
Experience the ultimate ride and power with a level of craftsmanship that has earned this vehicle multiple Concours show victories. The result of a 10-year, 3,000-man-hour endeavor by its previous owner and team, this ground-up restoration boasts meticulous attention to detail.
Every aspect of this Mini Van has been refined, including full restoration and strengthening, Dinitrol wax protection, and a ten-coat, uniquely colored Chartreuse Green paint with a Snow Berry white roof.
Under the hood, a Metro 1300 turbo engine has been extensively modified, featuring Methanol injection for 116BHP @5600 RPM. The lavish interior, reminiscent of a Bentley, showcases Connolly hide and Elm wood, with the rear area boasting sumptuous leather and deep pile carpeting.
This offering includes a comprehensive documented build history, a photographic album, wiring diagram, component handbook, suspension, engine, ignition and boost controller settings, a build CD, magazine features, and even a laptop with Megatune software for Megasquirt programming.
Priced far below its estimated build cost of over £100,000, this Mini Van is an opportunity not to be missed. Embrace the rarity and quality of this extraordinary vehicle.
