1970 Mini Classic Mini Cooper Additional Info:

Absolutely stunning 1990 Rover Mini Cooper with a huge list of upgrades. I had to put the year down as a 1970 as it didn't like the British VIN number but it is a 1990 model. The car was restored in England where the car was stripped to a bare shell and then it was given a high quality paint job in a fantastic shade of red which shows beautifully. After the restoration the car was only used for weekend pleasure driving and shows, not your average daily driver. The brightwork on the car is in great shape and the 13" chrome Minilite style wheels really make the car pop, even the large fender flares struggle to cover all that rubber! This low milage car originally came with a 1275cc engine which was bored out to 1380cc with bigger pistons, a fast road cam, LCB exhaust, gas flowed head with big valves and a 1-3/4" SU to top it off. It was put on a dyno in England and produced about 90 hp, it is a very quick little car! It starts easily and has very good oil pressure, sounds great too. To help bring all that power to a stop 4 piston calipers are fitted up front with slotted and drilled discs, the rear has Minifin drums and braided hoses are fitted all around, it does stop as well as it goes. The interior of the car was also updated with fresh carpets, headliner and some very comfortable seats from a later car which have the side bolsters, the red piping is a nice touch. The wood dash is out of a later car and looks very nice, it does have a couple of small cracks around the glove box. There is a modern stereo added that has 6x9 speakers in the rear and speakers hidden behind the air vents in the dash, very clean and sounds pretty good too. The car is super clean top to bottom and runs like a champ, I do have a clear Ohio title for the car. With earlier Austin and Morris Coopers running 2 or 3 times the price of this one it represents great value and is pretty much guaranteed to make you new friends any where you take it, I can't think of many other cars that bring so many smiles and waves from other motorists. Thanks for looking!
the link below is a quick walk around of the car I did, I think it shows the quality of the car better than a few photos
