1963 Morris Mini Cooper MPI Retro and matching trailer
Description
What you are looking at is an absolutely amazing Mini. The car is a drivers car, being assembled by River House Minis years ago to be an amazing usable vehicle. The car benefits from a healthy 1.3 L multi point injected motor. The car runs amazing and can be driven anywhere. I’ve had this car for over 12 years and have personally driven the car across the United States 3600 miles in three days, visiting places like in Daytona Raceway, New Orleans, etc. I’ve also been on a 500 mile Alpine rally, run the Virginia City Hillclimb, racing at Laguna Seca, and Thunderhill Raceway, is as well as crush the hearts of countless massive V-8 cars at autocrosses across California. The car has the power ragtop, the 7.5 inch Cooper Brakes, adjustable tiebars, 10 inch mini light wheels, Spaks adjustable shocks and then there is the matching trailer. The car needs a few odds and ends such as a speedo cable a new lens for one of the Lucas fog lights, the fuel gauge rewired. The Water temp, oil pressure, heater and blinkers all work great. The trailer towd amazing and has the proper hitch wiring and safety cable as can be seen one of the pictures. You can drive as fast as you want with this trailer as it is extremely stable. The trunk opens and the lid comes off. It is Cavernous inside the trailer, but has never been registered. But, nobody has ever asked me about it other than to take a picture. It will easily qualify for registration anywhere it ends up, but it will need a number assigned to it. The car has no rust to speak of, and has spent most of it’s life in California. The only reason I am selling this Car is because I haven’t been able to use the car as I once did, due to a new business and off-road racing now. I really want the car to go to a good home with someone who will continue the cars amazing story. Fire away with any questions you may have I will answer as fast as possible. Buy with confidence and then fly in and drive home. It is an amazing and awesome driving adventure, with no smog required. I don’t have a buy it now price as these cars are all over the board however in my opinion it’s priceless but I can guarantee the reserve is less than that. Unless otherwise agreed I will be retaining the personalized California plates.
In addition I want to make sure there’s no confusion because of the year of the listing. Thus mini was built River House Minis in the Netherlands with a compilation of parts from Mk1 to Mk7 Minis ranging in years from 1963 to 2000 if you are searching for a pure Mk1 Mini, this is not the car for you. You need to look for items such as external door hinges and sliding windows. This car was professionally assembled as one of River Houses high end retro builds as can be seen on their site to be a great drivers car!
