Almost bought one today but the guy didnt have his mini registered in the states and I thought if I bought it I would have had huge problems with the DMV. Bummer too cuz the price was right and the mini was pretty clean.
Still on the hunt.



ps. thanks monzon for ALL your awesome help!

Here's a really shitty pic of mine.



Obviously, I'm working on it.

It's a 92/93 frankenstein, (titled 76 by montecarlo minis, thank you very much). Used to have AC, EFI, etc., but someone decided to put a carb'd 1275 in it. Up until about 6 months ago, it still had the EFI gas tank and pump, ALONG with a mechanical pump. Both were hooked up. I got a new tank and put a facet pump under there.
The ONLY thing that I don't like about it? Automatic.

I like the 93 year actually. Would also dig an early 70's too but the early 90's Minis are really nice.
No luck for me so far on finding a mini here in California. I look all day everyday. Everyone who is selling one seems to have some really shitty paper work tied to it. I've never had this much trouble wanting or buying a car before. Damn Minis owners are so complicated to deal with! lol!!

This mini below is beautiful!! I like even better without the union jack on the roof but either way it is super clean!!! At 0:09 seconds is what I want!

And when I do find my Mini you better bet your ASS I'm rockin this!

Big Foot, small car.

I picked mine up from winter storage last wedensday.
It's so much fun! And it really does have a soul.

So unreliable, but when it matters, it will get you where you need to go. If it feels like it.
Very cheap parts, though

Looks kinda beat. I think I would keep looking. Although the interior is cool!

[ldsbeaker]

Jeez, it better be cheap.

[IminDiegoTriick]

That looks like a ton of work archie...

It's actually not too bad. The usual rust but yes it all boils down to a good deal and that's where I'm at with the seller right now. Let the grinding begin!
