LOW RESERVE. PLEASE ONLY SERIOUS BIDDERS1978 Right Hand Drive Austin Mini 1000 Saloon. The original motor was a 998 cc but was changed by Avonbar Racing of U.K. to a Rover 1293 Turbo registering up to 130 BHP. The car underwent well over $25,000 worth of improvements from the engine change to disc brakes, adjust ride and new suspension, brand new 13" rims and tires, a custom dash / interior with electronic gauges and an aftermarket body kit. Way too much to list here, but have all the receipts dating back to the original motor work done in England before the car was brought stateside. I drive the car to work at least 2 - 3 times a week and we run with the mini club on weekends. Strong and FAST!!!The car does not have heat or A/CThere are a few rust bubbles but the pan and frame is rock solid. The engine starts up with the choke on the 2nd or 3rd crank every time and runs strong. I am honestly not crazy about the VDO gauges I put into the dash and would consider going away from the electronic speedometer on the small wheels.The mileage listed is from the UK title. The engine was redone in England and brought to the US. I only have less than a 1,000 miles since I replace gauges but could not verify actual mileage.Have a clear NC title and would love to find her a new home.....e-mail or call for new more photos and copies of all the work done. Thanks for looking.Note: Additional photos are available at: lifewithstrings.tumblr.comMust have a positive ebay rating and all shipping to be handled by buyer. I will include all spare parts including another set of wheels and rims.
