After a good few years beavering away in his garage a mate of mine has finally finished his MK3 restoration.

The basis was a MK3 S donor & a new Heritage shell which he spent a good few years converting to accurate MK3 spec. Now that did take some doing!

Looks nice doesn't it!

Super, I like the clour. Again a realy nice Mini Cooper saved for the future.

Very nice. I have one just the same, minus the floors and sills, a panels.......!

I do love the understated look of the mk3 S.

Yes I remember seeing Mini Machine take on the same task when I first visited in the early 90's and was surprised how much work that involves !

I'm another Mk3 fan, OK they don't have the pure design of the Mk1 but are a product of their time which I love. I've got two of these and one of 'em used to be the same colour, on which note I'm still looking for original Mk3 seats if anyone has any leads ? And some S rims. And a speedo pod. And a grille. It's the original shell but a bit modded.

A very lovely looking car, well done that man.

wonderful 70's colour. is it harvest gold?

Bronze yellow.

Same as my brothers car.

Love this! Bronze yellow is the best MK3 colour in my mind.
My MK3 S used to be the same colour, but not now

Mini lights look great with that colour.
