Very cool and clean little 1969 Morris Mini for sale. Super clean, newer interior and nice body with no rust or rot on an
older, shiny but nice looking paint job. Good glass, trim & chrome. Starts; runs and drives great with lot's of power. I don't
know when the engine was built but our British mechanic checked it and compression is 140-145 across the board. Recent tune
up, spark plugs and he just installed a new manifold gasket. (You'll see that when I shot the photos that the bonnet was
misaligned from having it off the car to do the work, we just took care of this). The syncromesh 4-speed transmission shifts
great up and down through all of the gears. The brakes are quick and responsive with 7" discs upfront and drums on the rear
and the car has brand new tires on the 10" rims. It has been wired with antenna and speakers and ready for your sound
system. The lights are all in working order as are the gauges. It's turn key and ready to enjoy.
The car is Australian built which is why it has a Mk1 body. When the Mk2 cars were released in Australia, cost constraints on
production meant they did not inherit the changes made to the body, such as the grille and the larger rear window. In addition,
the Australian Mini was a bit different from the UK car because they already had made several smaller changes as well such as
roll up windows. In the end it was the non-Cooper S that received greater improvements than it's sportier sibling. The biggest
change for this early Mk2 was a syncromesh transmission.
I've been driving the car a lot over the last few weeks and know it well so feel free to call me at 707-332-8331 if you'd
like. Thanks for checking it out.
There are another 105 pictures in addition to what you see here as well as video so you can see and hear her run. See the link at the bottom of the page following the first 51 image slide show.
Also, if you have one car or an entire collection to consign and are anywhere in California,
please consider Left Coast Classics.
Thank you for visiting!

Video billboards are nothing new, but a video on a moving car that's blaring music? Now that's something that will catch your attention - especially if you're driving alongside it in the streets of London. That's the exact intent of Mini's new Art Beat, a Cooper Countryman turned marketing device that is custom-fitted with a staggering 48,000 LEDs. On its nightly drives through the city, the compact crossover showcases brightly colored videos, graphics and animations contributed by people around the world via social media. The Mini Space Blog describes the Art Beat as the "most vibrant and customizable NOT NORMAL ride you'll ever lay eyes on."
Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place. The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year. J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.
Mini devoted one line in the middle of its SEMA press release to the limited-edition Ice Blue Cooper S Hardtop on show at SEMA. We'll give it a few more lines: the Ice Blue hue hasn't been available since 2013, and Mini's being coy about how long the color will hang around. Available on two-door Cooper models, the Ice Blue package adds optional features beyond color, like custom wheel caps and Mini Connected, and adds a few thousand dollars to the MSRP depending on which Cooper you start with. Ready for the big Mini news? The John Cooper Works Tuning Kit will soon be available for Cooper S and Cooper S ALL4 Countryman and Clubman; before now, the kit could only be had for the Cooper S hardtop and convertible. The kit juices horsepower up to 208 hp from 189 hp, and throws in another 14 pound-feet of torque to top out at 221 lb-ft. The stainless-steel exhaust reduces exhaust gas back pressure, and can be controlled via Bluetooth for Sport or Sport+ auditory response. Sport, we're told, is safe for any road, while Sport+ makes a track-only kind of cacophony. The back-end growl gets piped through either chrome or carbon fiber tailpipes. The JCW Tuning Kit goes on sale in January 2018 for $1,950, and can be installed at any Mini dealer.
