Got to go as its not being used as it should be!

I have owned this mini for the last 18 months and have totally stripped it and any inferior parts have been replaced with reconed or new parts where needed.
I have sprent over 3k during this project, it is great fun to drive and always turns heads, it has been dry stored in my garage since completion and i have just not had the time to use it to its full potential, i have covered less than 100 miles in it and i needs ot go so that someone can get the driving pleasure i dont have time to get.
