Vehicle Detail
JOHN COOPER LIMITED EDITION MINI COOPER with SPORTPAK. Includes upgraded black clothe interior with red piping. SPORTPAK includes fender flares and extra gauges on dash. I LOVE this car. It is SO FUN to drive. It's right hand drive which makes it more of a head turner. People love to look at it. I'm 6'1" and 250+. I look really funny in it but I have lots of head room. I did have plans to put in a vtec engine, new recaro seats to get more leg room, a CD stereo and maybe some wider rims and tires, but with two kids in college and the economic downturn, I don't have that 'fun' money to spend on this. I did put a new exhaust system in with a great sounding muffler and a black stainless steel tip that comes out the center. New battery and disconnect switch. It has a Brittish flag on the roof that is showing some wear. The paint is good, not great. The engine was tuned locally and runs great after it warms up. It has a minor oil leak. It hasn't used even a quart of oil in a year. NO RUST! (Be careful when looking at old minis). Disc brakes in front, drums in the back. I hate to sell it, but I have 6 cars and I can't spend the time or money on it right now to make it what I want. I've got 3 1/2 years till the kids are out of college...so I'll try again then. This car is in the Napa Valley which is about an hour north of San Francisco. You know the drill: serious bids only and you are more than welcome to take a look at the car anytime. Just email me. This is a great driver. It is NOT a show car. It's also not $20k either. (I actually got the mini 'bug' back in 1968 when my older brother had one!) In California, you don't have to smog it since it's registered as a 1973. $500 non-refundable deposit due immediately after winning. NO SCAMMERS! This has been up on ebay before and was almost sold, but the guy refused to read my counteroffer stating cash only! Have a great day and thanks for looking! -Lars
