The engine conversion was my second one had done, so it was done properly. You'd be pretty hard pressed to find a nicer one (honda conversion or not). It is currently showing just over 3k miles on the odometer which is just since the engine conversion. it had about 70k on it before restoration, and was driven about 2k as a 1275 a series before the engine conversion. She runs 100%, and gets about 45 mpg. This Mini has just over 130 hp and is a handfull if you disrespect the throttle. But, when driven sensably, it is very nice to drive.. almost like the cadillac of minis. We spared no expense when it came to restoring this mini. This car must be seen in person to appreciate so viewing is very much encouraged and welcome. We are only selling our cherished mini because the wife bought a 2013 JCW Mini, and we are re-locating to the states in a few months and basically we cannot afford to ship 3 vehicles to the states.Also, I have hundreds of pics of he restoration and engine conversion so please message me if you would like to see those. And, we have quite a few extra estate parts that will be included in the sale.Im willing to let people test drive, but for serious inquires ONLY...NO TYRE KICKER PLEASE. and please do not message me about how to do a conversion.We have this car listed locally so we reserve the right to end this auction at any time (I hate seing this too). This mini is sold as is. Winning bidder must collect within 7 days of auction end (unless pre-arranged thru me), and put a 500 pound deposit within 24 hours of auction end, and if payed for with a check (of any kind) must clear my bank before collection. And of course cash is... read more
