❤️ Two Minis, one M-Tech treatment standard!

It seems we have a habit of doing things in pairs here at M-Tech! 😁

These two matching red Cooper Sports have arrived together, although for rather different reasons.

The one on the left is one of the last 500 Cooper Sports produced, making it a particularly special Mini. It came to us initially for a minor oil leak repair and a service, but after driving it and getting it up on the ramp for a thorough inspection, we decided it deserved a little more attention.

Despite having covered just 22,000 miles, like so many low-mileage Minis, it was actually the lack of use that was causing some of the problems. We found brakes beginning to seize, various rubber components split or perished, a poor ride and a number of other areas that needed work.

So, rather than simply fixing the original oil leak and sending it on its way, we’ve given it the full M-Tech going over. 🔧

It’s now all sorted and ready for its MOT. ✅

And while that one heads towards the finishing line, its matching sibling has taken its place on the lift. This Mini has been off the road for some time, so it’s now getting a thorough inspection and recommissioning before it’s eventually prepared for sale.

Two red Coopers, two very different stories… but both getting the same M-Tech attention they deserve. ❤️

Great cars, excellent service, awesome customers!

A great day out on Saturday to admire the engineering and watch the racing at this years which also featured the Cooper Car Company 80th Anniversary Celebrations. Thanks to birthday boy Mr.MiniMail for the pint and the cake. A faultless drive up and back in the Mini Sidewalk was great fun too!

A little follow-up video to yesterday’s post…

It’s a privilege to work on cars like these. Two remarkable 1966 Morris classics, each with its own story, carefully recommissioned and tuned ready for many more years on the road.

We hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we enjoyed working on them.

Two very special 1966 Morris models in the workshop this week.

It’s not often you see a Morris Minor 1000 and an original Morris Mini Cooper S 1275 together, especially in such remarkable condition.

The Minor has covered just 16,500 miles from new, while the Cooper S remains a superb example of one of Britain’s most iconic performance cars.

Both were with us for light recommissioning and careful engine tuning, ensuring they run every bit as well as they look while preserving their originality.

A real pleasure to have two pieces of Morris history side by side in the workshop.

Which one would be your choice?

We took the M-Tech works van to Beaulieu yesterday for the Mini Cooper Register Mini Day. A great drive and a fantastic show in the summer sun. The van was in great company with 14 other vans spotted at the show!

A lovely blast from the past yesterday!

I was in hospital yesterday for a scheduled procedure. What I wasn’t expecting was to be greeted by the anaesthetist and realise he was someone I knew from many years ago!

It turned out to be Andrew, the owner of M-Tech Mini Countryman Sport CS4, which we custom built for him back in 2003. Finished in beautiful Island Blue with an electric roof and navy interior, it was one of those cars that has always stuck in my memory.

It was fantastic to catch up and hear that, over 20 years later, he still owns the Mini and it’s still in superb condition. For a number of years it was his daily transport, but these days it enjoys a much more relaxed life, only coming out for special occasions and sunny days.

As restorers and builders, we spend countless hours creating these cars, but we don’t always get to see where their stories lead. Hearing that one of our creations is still being cherished more than two decades later is incredibly rewarding.

Great to see you again, Andrew, even if it wasn’t quite under the circumstances either of us expected!

Bonus photo of Andrew with CS4 shortly after completion back in 2003. Doesn’t seem possible that was over 20 years ago! 😊

Some cars are more than just cars.

Back in 1993, Dee’s father bought her a brand new Mini Italian Job. It was her very first car, and like many first cars, it became part of her life story.

Eventually the Mini was sold and disappeared from sight. For years, Dee wondered what had become of it.

Determined to find out, she began researching the car’s history and, against all odds, managed to track it down. Even more remarkably, she was able to buy back the very same Mini she’d owned from new over 30 years ago.

Wanting to return the car to its former glory, Dee searched for a specialist with a reputation for quality workmanship, originality and attention to detail. We’re incredibly grateful that, following recommendations from numerous members of the Mini community and online forums, she entrusted M-Tech with the next chapter of the car’s life.

This week we’ve begun the strip-down process.

As expected, there are some challenges ahead, but that’s all part of the journey. Every nut and bolt removed reveals another piece of the Mini’s story and helps us understand exactly what will be needed to give it the future it deserves.

Some of our long-standing followers may remember another Mini Italian Job restoration we completed several years ago. By a strange coincidence, that car was finished in the same colour as Dee’s, making this project feel a little bit special from the outset.

Our aim is simple: to preserve as much of the car’s character and history as possible while returning it to the condition that made Dee fall in love with it all those years ago.

We’re looking forward to sharing the journey with you.

After all, not many people get the chance to be reunited with their very first car.

📸 Strip-down photos coming soon. Keep an eye on the page to follow the story.

A familiar face back through the doors this week 👋

Ian’s Morris Minor Traveller has returned for a gearbox swap along with an upgrade to the rear wheels and tyres — a nice little refresh to keep it driving just right.

This one’s got a bit of history with us too… it’s the same car we built the engine for and supercharged a few years back, so it’s always good to see it come back for more.

Ian’s getting ready to head off to France for a big classic car show in a few weeks, so it was time to get everything dialled in and the car in top condition for the journey 🇫🇷🚗
