Want to leave it stock. Clean it up a little and add just a few very small mods.
Sound system will be one of the first though.

They are a real blast even stock. My buddy who bought my s52 swap car has an INNOCENTI (SP?) in socal now.

180 horsepower in one of those things would be absolutely amazing.

Should be on my way to go see the car right now but the seller is not answering any of my calls or my texts. Something is up? Said Friday he would hold the car for me til I had a chance to see it today.

I love vintage Austin Minis and serously considered buying one 2 or 3 years back. But I was discouraged from doing so by a bunch of Mini owners I know. The car really isn't weatherproof, which may not be an issue in SoCal, but is a real problem in the Northeast. Same for rustproofing. More important, they're real deathtraps. I wouldn't be comfortable running one on the highways around here with all the tractor trailers and SUVs on the road.

I've driven one at a MSU autocross. Hilariously fun cars. It also won the vintage class that day.

Thanks, Debbie Downer.

Sorry, when I'm driving mine at 70 mph on the highway, I have more important things to worry about than dying in it. Like how the hell having so much fun can be legal.

RHD is nice, too. you know for Checkers runs and all that.

Hope you get ahold of the guy.

p.s. I'm all for car art, but it's a '69, man. Those are some rare air, right there.
Checkerboard vinyl (removeable) ok. But other than that, keep it stock. Especially one that nice.

Guy just called me. Im on my way!!!

Ive seen these things race. Oh and I have seen a truck one too!

[Teaguer]

Oh yeah old skool Mini's are the shit!
Growing up in Europe I was exposed to them early on and liked them instantly.
Hell they used to race them in my town on snow and ice! :p
Always one of the cars I want to own one day.

Oh and pics of Eddie on the roof are must once completed. :up:


Buddy of mine that i bought my M3 from has a fully restored one, not sure of the exact year though.
Check out how small it is even when compared to an Mcoupe. :-D

Nope,I did not buy it.The car looked MUCH better in the pictures than in person. Paint was done poorly and it had a good amount of rust.As a matter of fact, it had poorly painted paint painted over rust. lol! (Little tongue twister there)
Kinda bummed but the hunt for a mini is still on.:(:D
