Genuine Body Shell MK1 complete

Brand new British Motor Heritage MK1 Mini Bodyshell, complete with bonnet, boot and doors finished in primer.

British Motor Heritage (BMH) has long since been at the forefront of suppling individual panels for all marks of classic Minis, and complete bodyshells for models from 1976 onwards. What’s been missing until now is the Holy Grail, a full replacement shell for the MK1, but the wait is now over! The first production batch will commence in April, with deliveries occurring through May and June.

The early body is markedly different from its later counterparts. The major variances include:

Smaller: door aperture with different step profiles; sliding window doors with external hinges; rear window; rear side windows; rear light mounting

Different: ‘A’ panels and hinge reinforcements; cant rails; floors; sills; front and rear parcel shelves; switch panel; boot panel, bonnet and inner valences; front valance and number plate mounting

The new shell from BMH will use the later front bulkhead crossmember assembly as retooling for this non-visual part would have been prohibitive, and will not have the rotodip hole in the rear seat squab; recognising that a significant element of demand for the new shells will almost certainly be for historic motorsport.

We can also provide body shells painted in your choice of colour! Contact us for further information and prices.
