British Racing Green '91 Mini City
We bought the City about 6 months back from an elderly couple who live next door to my misses' gran. They had owned it for the last 10 years and covered less than 5K miles in it. The mileage now stands at just under 23,000 but it's in daily use. It was completely standard but was starting to show it's age with rusty steel wheels and perished tyres
Sadly I didn't take any pictures before making any changes, but I found these pics online which help give an idea of the wheels, grille, exhaust and ride height of the standard car. Ours was the same, just British Racing Green
The first job was to fit a chrome cooper grille, replacing the factory grey grille. I then started with the refurb on my 10" x 6" GB alloys, the pictures show each stage, a previous owner had painted them with Old English White household Gloss!

The last jobs were to rebuild the calipers, get some 10" tyres and fit a tunnel basket for the tape cassettes. I've also added a pair of Rover spotlights, AA badge and tinted one of the reverse lights to give an earlier look to the rear. 8)
I'm considering refitting the grey grille and getting a set of raised digit number plates to finish it off.
