Pretty sweet man!

haha could probably beat a fair amount of civics in that thing too!

 

That is pretty cool.



How much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?

 

That mini is just straight badass.

 

What are you planning to do with this little gem??



I see them Autocross from time to tim ethey do pretty good..just not as good as my TII.

 

Hehe...well more than I was going to pay originally.... try 18.5k. Although he does have about 22k invested in the car and its been garaged with only 120 miles on it. I did some research and found that a mini between 1960-1975 (which sold for about $2500) restored or in mint condition is worth about 21k on average, and also the older they are the more they are worth. When John Cooper died in 2000 they stopped production and closed shop, so these cars are a rare find and will be worth a pretty penny some day, such as statitics have already shown.

 

Well no huge modifying, maybe some small stuff to help enhance performance. No racing or hard abusive driving, i'll let the rx7 take care of that. Just a toy for me and my girlfriend to cruise around in, she'll most likely be driving it to work a good bit of the time.

 

i like those "vintage" minis

Damn that's very Quite a bit of work to get it, but congrats:bigthumb:



:bigthumg: wtf is a thumg

 

The only thing that kinda makes me sad about minis is that they dont have a huge amount of potential. Well i dont really know, but i know ive never seen a 500 hp mini.



(waits for someone to prove him wrong)

 

I am a member over on minimania.com and while no one that I have seen has broken 500hp there have been some that broke 200hp on the mini engine. Keep in mind this car weights below 1500lbs (half what an rx7 weighs) there is no reason for that much power......120hp from one of the stock mini 1400cc motors is a lot of power. There are some people who put honda vtec motors in tuned to make 175hp and of course you can turbo charge any of the mini engines to produce higher hp. You have all the normal bolt ons for these cars, and parts are inexpensive, very inexpensive. These cars aren't meant for drag racing anyways, they do make good auto-x, road, and ralley cars. There is a huge amount of racing history behind the mini.
