Mini art

My husband, Stacey Hextall, has owned his Mini City since he was 17 years old. With help from his friends he has restored it into a retro Cooper S lookalike. It has a 1380cc MED race engine. It’s running on 7x10 MB wheels and has a straight-cut MED gearbox. It is his pride and joy!

I had this painting commissioned as a surprise for him. I chose), to do the painting as his artwork really stands out. He has a keen eye and captures every last detail. The finished painting is just out of this world and we can’t stop looking at it. I can’t thank Adam enough.
