1983 Mini Sprite - barn find restoration

This full body restoration project came to our workshop in December 2022.

Following a local spot blasting test we began the restoration work: new doorsteps, new inner &outer sills and jacking points; managed to repair original boot floor and heel board; new valance including closer panels; new scuttle, a-panels, 1 x inner, both outer wings, front panel and bonnet fitted; new British Motor Heritage door skins and rear quarters.

It was then off for a lick of paint (Primula Yellow: BLVC442) followed by running new fuel and brake lines once the paint was dry.

This rare barn find is soon to be reunited with it’s owner for reassembly.
