NO RESERVE! UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1969 AUSTIN MINI TRAVELER WITH A NEW 1400cc STAGE II MOTOR (not rebuilt) THIS IS A BRAND NEW ENGINE AND 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION FROM MINI SPORT IN ENGLAND. ENGINE PACKAGE WAS OVER $3500 ALONE AND THERE ARE LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THE MOTOR. IT HAS TWIN SU HS2 CARBS WITH K&N AIR FILTERS, NEW FUEL PUMP, STAINLESS BREAK LINES, OIL COOLING KIT, COBRA ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM, NEW BUMPERS, NEW 10" MINILITES, ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION, WITH NEW SHOCKS FRONT AND REAR. THE CAR STARTS AND RUNS VERY WELL AND EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THE CAR COMES WITH MANY EXTRAS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS INCLUDING NEW FENDERS AND "A" PANELS, HEADLIGHT BUCKETS, NEW DOOR HINGE SET AND OTHER FRONT BODY PARTS. THE EXISTING FENDERS ARE GOOD BUT THERE ARE SOME SIGNS OF PAINT BUBBLING AT THE "A" PANELS. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA MOST OF IT'S LIFE SO THE BODY IS OVERALL VERY GOOD WITH VERY LITTLE RUST. THE PREVIOUS OWNER UNDERCOATED THE CAR (which I would have preferred not been done) BUT UNDERNEATH THE METAL IS CLEAN AND RUST FREE. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID AND THERE ARE NO MAJOR DENTS OR REPAIRS. IT COULD USE NEW BALL JOINTS AND A NEW SET IS INCLUDED IN WITH THE EXTRAS. THE PAINT IS NOT ORIGINAL AND ALTHOUGH NOT PERFECT OR SHOW QUALITY, VERY PRESENTABLE. THE CAR IS 43 YEARS OLD AND IT DOES HAVE IT'S SHARE OF LITTLE DINGS AND CHIPS BUT OVERALL, VERY NICE. IT'S A PERFECT CANDIDATE FOR AN EASY RESTORATION OR JUST ENJOY AS IS. THERE WERE LESS THAN 1000 OF THESE WAGONS IMPORTED INTO THE U.S. AND THEY ARE GETTING HARD TO FIND IN SOLID CONDITION. MY INTENT WAS TO DUE A COMPLETE RESTORATION BUT I HAVE TOO MANY CARS AND TOO MANY PROJECTS AND NOT ENOUGH TIME. I'VE ENCLOSED A VIDEO LINK WHICH SHOWS THE LITTLE WAGON IN ACTION AND HOW IT HANDLES ON THE ROAD. THE CAR SHIFTS GREAT AND DOWNSHIFTS INTO ANY GEAR WITHOUT ISSUE. GREAT ACCELERATION AND IT HANDLES VERY WELL ON THE ROAD. I WOULD DRIVE THIS CAR ANYWHERE WITHOUT HESITATION. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE THEM AND IF YOU HAVE A RATING UNDER 10 PLEASE CALL ME BEFORE YOU BID. ASK FOR ANTHONY 269-469-4281 NOTE: THE CAR IS ACTUALLY BABY BLUE BUT SOME OF THE PHOTOS MAKE IT LOOK MORE AQUAMARINE THAN BLUE. I do have the car listed locally and is open to inspection at any time. Due to its age, there is no warranty offered. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6MaP2S4NI8
