I think this is a 1974, I could be wrong. Our customer has been having this car worked on for years, he's a big fan of having something unique that you don't see too often.

Once he got the car delivered he wanted us to come by and get it cleaned up and protected. He wasn't looking to spend a lot of money, so we gave it a very light polishing. Car had substantial orange peel, would be nice to give it a wetsand.

LSP was BFWD, wheels got Opti-Seal and interior only needed a vacuum and wipedown.

Products used:
ONR
Meguiar's Gold Class
APC 10:1
Various brushes
ONR Clay lube
Fine Blue Clay
IPA
Uber Green Pads
LC Black Pads
LC Red Pad
106FA
BFWD
Opti Seal
PC 7424XP
Meguiars G110v2
Griot's 3in DA
Various MFs

Car was in pretty good shape when we arrived

Wish I could take more time and snap more pics when we work, we're getting better at it though. Hopefully I can keep posting more work.

Thanks for looking, feedback welcome.
 
One bada$$ Mini IMO, great work and what engine it had under that hood. I think someone will be caught off guard at a light thinking it's just a reg. Mini.
