1960 Austin Mini Mk1; bought years ago and had some work done but I have too many other projects now to finish so this one must go. Originally was an 850cc car. When bought from Georgia owner it was running/driving with 1275 Austin America engine and original 850 magic wand transmission (22G846?). Car is metallic blue with a silver roof. Have obtained a 22G1128 4spd remote change tranny I was going to use and this comes with the car (and rebuilt pot joints). Good points include a full set of Cosmic wheels, a brand new front nose panel not yet mounted (MiniMania) and all new floors welded in and ready for paint. Glass is reasonably good, front seats are decent and there is a new rear bumper. 1275 motor could use rings but is otherwise fine. The head (12G1316) is newly machined with a 3-angle valve job, decked .020, new guides and shimmed springs - ready for installation. This is a rubber cone suspension car. Things needed will include tires, brakes, body work, paint and of course full reassembly. There is some bondo in the existing panels but I can't say how much as I didn't paint this car last time. The fender seams have some rust I have attempted to fix but they will need new seam covers prior to paint. There is also a 3-4" dent in the roof at the front from where a tree branch fell on it. Odometer shows 17k, I assume that's rolled over at least once. This car is definitely a project, but not a basket case. And early Mk1 minis of any flavor are not easy to find. You could go a number of different ways with the restoration and have a lot of fun doing it. Street machine, Cooper S clone, SCCA autocross, etc. All parts are readily available, I just don't have time to do it anymore. Sold with a bill of sale, title not required in Georgia with cars this old. $300 deposit due via Paypal within 48 hrs of auction close. Balance due IN CASH at time of pickup.
