This car has been kept up by myself for the past few years, but now that I need 4-wheel-drive and locking differentials, my toy needs to find a new home. This car is a vintage British automobile, so keep that in mind when perusing the images. I have performed many upgrades on this car, almost all in the name of reliability, through the past 3 years. The car appears to be a Mini City, but with the running gear of a Cooper S. So this car has the 'big block' 1.3L engine and 7.4" disc brakes. Battery is recent, maybe 2 years old. Fixed a parasitic battery drain that caused the battery to completely discharge and destroy the previous battery. Updated the A-series dynamo to an alternator. Replaced all flexible hydraulic lines with braided stainless lines (clutch and brakes). Replaced the clutch master cylinder. Replaced all brakes at all corners. Only some of the hard lines were retained.Replaced all front ball joints.Replaced all engine electrical wear items (distributor rotor, cap, plugs, wires). Replaced rear subframe with substantially lightweight alternative.Preventatively replaced rear wheel bearings. Relocated fuel pump to inside the boot for better access. Full coilover suspension on the rear. Installed adjustable Koni shocks up front. Installed 3-point seat belts. Added a third LED brake light to better help those tall trucks see when you brake. Installed rally light bar, 2 driving lights, and 2 fog lights. They come on with high/low beams respectively, or can be left always off. The bad: I would recommend new tires. The ones that are on it are old and are getting a bit smooth. They are not expensive to replace, though. Needs a better mounting option for the exhaust. When I removed the old subframe, I removed the prior mounting point and it could be done a little better now. Odometer does not work. It has been at the same value as long as I have had the car. The speedometer works, though. The switches for the rally lights are not permanently mounted. I could not bring myself to drill a hole in the solid wood dash, so I left the switches in the driver's side cubby. Front windshield can leak a little bit in rain, probably just needs new grommet. I have a full walkaround and driving video on YouTube. This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early for a local sale.
