I am driving cross-country to Oregon in mid-August and will be gone for two weeks, and am therefore motivated to make this sale before I leave. I will be willing to lower price more than I intentionally wanted to if a sale is made before August 9, otherwise, if it waits to sell when I return, I will be looking for more $$ at that time.
I recently bought this Classic Austin mini 'Commercial/ Van' as it was for sale for a low price as a result of not starting for a year. I fixed it quite easily and while I would like to keep it, I have to sell something or other for funds for my business. I have several vehicles for sale at this time, if something else sells first, I will keep this car for myself.
This 1972 Mini benefits from many upgrades ... Namely a fresh 1275cc engine (!!!) front disc brakes, new brake lines (stainless braided hoses, 13" alloy wheels (with new V-rated tires), newer Honda front power seats, new clutch, electronic ignition, and an electric cooling fan. It also has a new speedometer which reads 207 total miles. I don't know the original mileage. As you can see, it comes with a too-adorable-for-words mini-cooper trailer-- SAY WHAT?! --yes, that's right! It hitches right on and works like a charm. As a bonus, pull some chairs up to it and it could double as a picnic table!
This car is a cosmetic project (even though it IS cute just like it is, of course) and most panels have dents so check the photos. It does come with NEW front fenders, door skins, door bottoms - and car desperately needs paint. Was rusty in the past, but was properly fixed in the UK to get its MOT (safety inspection) which it passed.
Starts right up and runs/ drives/ stops just fine. There is a bad spot in the steering rack though, where it 'clicks/ skips' in one spot - will need a new steering rack at some point.
Car has clean SC titl, and I am in Savannah, GA just a hop skip and jump away (compared to going to England, where you would have to buy this). You can pick it up here or I can arrange shipping to you.
Please do not send me messages asking me what my reserve price is. I spend considerable time and money to post these ads, and I would prefer you actually bid if you are interested in buying the car - better yet - call me if you want to buy it or ask questions. 912-414-8993
