Hello,
I am selling an Australian 1970 Morris Mini, 1100 K, maroon color, manual transmission, and it's a right hand drive vehicle. I've had this car for about a year and I was planning on putting in a Honda B series engine, but alas I don't have the time, and it's a shame that this car doesn't get the driving time it deserves. It has all the goodies of the 1275 Cooper S Here's the breakdown:
1970 right hand drive Morris Mini
Manual Transmission
60,*** original miles
About 45 MPG highway, and 38-40 City
It was top to bottom restored by the "mini guy" after it was imported from Australia
Front disk breaks
Twin gas tanks
Electric fuel pump
Mini stage 1 kit
Freeflow exhaust manifold
alloy inlet manifold,
performance exhaust system
K&N air filter
replacement carb needle
manifold and carburetor gasket
Super core 2 radiator
Dual air horn
New fuel sending unit (in tank)
1.5 Hif So carburetor
High output alternator
Trunk Battery Cut off.
Two 6 x 9 Alpine speakers
Sony CDX-6T360 MP (52W x 4)
Price is $15,000
These cars are known for rust problems, and this one is relatively clean, but on the drivers side quarter panel there is a quarter sized chip in the paint and unless it's taken care of it will eventually rust. There is also a little surface rust near the passenger side rain roof gutter. She has some minor scratches here and there, but it's an amazing ride where everyone asks what kind of car it is, or wants to get their picture taken with it. It's an amazing car and who ever gets is will be happy at the quality of the car. On a side note the guy I bought it from lived in Wyoming, so it rarely got used and they had a linkage on the car wrong, so the carburetor was limited to half throttle. About 30K of the miles placed on the car by the previous owner was under half throttle. The car has been tuned by Gram at Heritage Mini in Costa Mesa for the last year, and it comes with all the paperwork from the last two owners.
If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to email me.

Classic Rover Mini is a passion-inspiring plaything
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Ask anyone that's driven a classic Mini, and they'll probably tell you that their first reaction to driving it was a lot like the start of this video - whooping, shouting, laughing and a whole lot of smiling. This video, from Jon Quirk, editor-in-chief at Auto Trader UK, highlights the connection between him and his Rover Mini Paul Smith. He really nails the man-machine interface that makes owning a great car so much fun. Besides that, Quirk does a good job of enumerating what is so enjoyable about driving a fun car on a twisting road.
For our British readers, this video is also meant to test the waters for a new format from Auto Trader UK, called "I Bought One." With Quirk's Mini, the car-buying site is looking at telling the story of people and their interesting cars. We think this video is a great start, with high production value and solid content. Head on over to the YouTube channel, and let them know what you think. But first, scroll on down for the entire video on this awesome Rover Mini.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
2014 Mini Cooper goes to the dogs
Tue, 17 Dec 2013We wouldn't buy a car to make a dog happy, but Mini's latest commercial, Bullheaded, would have you believe that dogs like the new 2014 Cooper as much as humans. Regardless of the commercial's target audience (Spike The Bulldog, or his owner?), it does show a couple new tidbits about the car, such as the new center dial touchscreen, ambient lighting and the nifty tinted pop-up display on top of the dashboard that reminds us of the head-up display on the new Mazda3.
Head below to watch Spike and his owner drive the Mini in Downtown Los Angeles (and the back lots of Paramount), and to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the commercial was made.
