    Man she is a looker & if I could swing it she would be mine. Unfortunately someone else will get to own that sweet Mini. I've very sorry that you have to sell her. Good luck.

    OMG. If I had $12k that I could spare, I'd give it to you. That is beautiful.

    (just for the heck of it, where are you located?)

    Ah I'm sorry, I forgot to mention location. I'm in Murrells Inlet, SC (Myrtle Beach). I originally bought the car from a guy in Richmond, VA.

    It's been garage kept it's entire life. It really is a wonderful car.

    Shipping can be arranged at buyers expense, but I don't mind setting it up for them :)

    Definitely!

    It's an A+ series motor, I believe it's 990cc (close to it anyway). It isn't all original as the car was restored approximately 10 years ago and they placed a slightly newer version of the A series motor in it compared to what it would have originally had.

    I just had the alternator, starter solenoid and water pump replaced as well as some of the wires hidden to make it look a little cleaner. I can tell that it has an aftermarket air filter on the carb as well as a "flamethrower" to help boost power. The car has also been converted from negative ground to positive ground in the past.

    I can post a pic but I'll have to wait till tonight so I can go take one.

    Don't be afraid to make an offer either. I know it's worth the $12,000, but finding someone with that kind of cash handy isn't easy these days. I'd rather it go to a good enthusiast home of someone who would enjoy it than it become a paper weight in someones garage.

    Don't tempt me! :)

    Personally I cannot afford it right now. But if I should come into some money...
