    Very nice looking and very clean - what kind of shifter is that?

    Nevermind - saw the link to the other classifieds section (Can't wait to fix this... which is in process). The shifter is "Whalen Machine Co. weighted shift knob with adjustable short-shift kit".. very nice.

    I'm sad to see your nicely maintained MINI go up for sale.

    Any big reason why, or, is it just time to move on?:confused5:

    Why am I selling? At 74, I began to contemplate my last car! For 10 years, the Mini sat on the same side of my garage with a Caterham Super 7 - they were both short enough! I recently sold the Caterham on Bring A Trailer - see if this link might work:
    http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-caterham-super-7/

    I just recently bought a car I've admired for it's analog qualities to be my "last car" - a 2013 BMW 135i with full Dinan stage 3 modifications. I've loved the Mini, which is also very analog. I've only owed one car in 58 years of driving longer than the Mini. Someone will get a great machine and it will be difficult to see it go.

    Wow...I feel MUCH better now! In fact, my wife is INSISTING that I go back to MOTD next year! I figure she either loves me or hopes I'll never make it back down and back alive...:arf:

    I wish mine was in this nice of condition! That is one nice piece of equipment. I can see that is has been very well taken care of.

    A member here has to be able to find room in his garage for this one, remember MINI's don't take up that much space! :D
