Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1989 Rover Mini Mayfair is a heavily modified restomod featuring a Honda D16Z6 engine swap with 165hp and a 5-speed manual transmission. The car received extensive restoration including a color change to Blue Flame, new interior, and upgraded brakes and suspension, making it a unique classic build.
Condition
7
The car has undergone a significant restomod build, including mechanical and exterior modifications. While the build itself suggests a good starting point and attention to detail (e.g., rust repair, repainting, engine swap), the description implies it's a modified classic, not a pristine original. Modifications and upgrades generally place it in the 'Very Good' category, as it's well-maintained and has been significantly enhanced, but it's not in 'Pristine' or 'Outstanding' condition due to the extensive modifications and the fact it's a restored/modified vehicle.
