This is my 1970 Austin Mini. This was a 2 plus year restoration. This Mini was stripped down to the shell with the sub frames, glass & doors off and restored. Painted Lamborghini Telesto Grigio gray.

A complete balance and assembly along with a magnetic particle inspection was done by a top 3 generation old school machine shop. $1185 in labor alone on the short block. New Minimania Russell engineering pistons, new oil pump, Megadyne 276 road rally cam, lightened flywheel, stage 2 head, new Maniflow LCB header & ceramic coated, new fan blade & new copper 4 core radiator, gear reduction starter, new hoses and belts, new orange diaphragm rally clutch, slave unit and hose are new, new duplex timing chain & gears.

The Minimania current list is $5500 + $150 core. 3.44 final drive and when put into 5th it goes down to 3.1! The build included Cooper S emblems, old style tail lights, grille and trim, stainless bumpers with over riders, new door handles, all weather stripping including on the doors is new. New front windshield and new glass on both doors. New headlight rings, wipers, washer spray nozzles. Things that come to mind still not done are: horn installed, headliner installed (Newton Commercial included) & some decent floor mats of your choice. This car has literally only a few test miles since completion. Still in the break in period. History wise on the car, this is the second time I have owned it. I bought it back when it was first imported in 2000, sold it in 2004 and bought it back in 2010. Originally this car competed and raced in the Snowdonia Mountains in Wales. I still have many of the original MOTS, paperwork and the license plate. It's been a really fun car, easy to work on, and a blast to drive. The Woods & Pickett fender flares can be removed easily if you like. I couldn't make my mind up which way to go, so I painted the car without them. (4) 10X5 Mini wheels also come with it (one is being used as a spare), a new vintage license plate frame & a few other parts. The center caps on the car presently are Lamborghini and I do have new caps that say MINI if you prefer. I have spared nothing on the build. I built it to keep. The build cost in parts alone is less than the reserve/buy it now. Lovingly cherished & only for sale because I'm moving to a house with substantially less garage space.
