I had to send a new V5 to the guy doing the restoration. He informed me that the car is being built for a businessman who lives in USA and London but plans to keep it in the UK - and hopefully retain the original registration number. I can't wait to see it finished.
I found the price list - if you wanted a basic mini/mini countryman estate, M-Tech source a suitable donor vehicle and rebuild it - new engine, gearbox, brakes etc. that would cost you £18,795.00 - then you go down the options list (see below). The price soon mounts up. My old car is getting the full works - wood frame, sunroof and big engine.
