NO RESERVE "PROJECT MINI"
1977 Leyland Mini 1000.
Damaged due to drunk driver running off the road, into my sign post and knocking it down on 4 minis.
I have sold 300+ Minis over the past 25 years and there were always tire kickers looking for a "project mini".
I never sold a "project Mini" because those tire kickers never wanted to pay more than $3000 for a running & driving, rust free, "project Mini".
Shipping from NZ was usually $2800+ per Mini and the MINIS WERE NOT FREE. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I NEVER OFFERED "PROJECT MINIS" FOR $3000!
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF NOT SELLING "PROJECT MINIS" I FINALLY HAVE ONE FOR SALE.
This Mini was redone 10 years ago in a John deere scheme. Hundreds of dollars were spent buying John Deere chrome name badges, factory decals, John Deere seat cover material and the correct John Deere yellow and green factory paint. george did this mini up to look like a million bucks!
This Mini, along with 3 others, was parked in front of my shop, in Charleston, SC, on my lot, on display.
An uninsured drunk driver ran off the road, hit my sign and knocked the sign down in top of all 4 Minis.
This Mini was damaged more than the other 3, as the sign, on top of the sign post, fell directly in the roof of this Mini. No broken glass, just a caved in roof. Not the kind of damage you buff out!
The other 3 Minis were repaired and sold years ago.
George removed all the interior and glass from this Mini. Every removed part is in my warehouse and intact. See photos.
Please see posted photos for damage, features and condition. this Mini was not a rusty car, at all and has been stored inside my warehouse since the damage was done. this is a nice Mini that needs a roof or the damaged roof removed completely and made into a roadster or convertible.
Importing Minis, in recent years, has become economically impossible, due to the poor exchange rate of the US dollar to other currencies around the globe.
this Mini has been stored inside my warehouse for 3+ years. The engine runs and the car ran & drove great before the damage occurred. the engine did not knock, smoke or over heat. The transmission did not make any unusual noises, jump out of any gear or have any faults at all. the clutch and brakes functioned properly as well. Pete ran this car just last spring and it ran great and moved under its own power. the electrical part of the ignition switch needs replacing, as did most on the mid to late 1970's Minis.
Buyer must send a $500 Paypal deposit within 24 hours of end of listing and the balance of the sale price must be received by me within 3 days of end of listing, in the form of a bank cashier's check, sent by US Post Express mail, 2 day delivery with signature required on delivery. No exceptions.
the Mini can remain inside my warehouse for 30 days, at no extra charge, giving the buyer enough time to arrange transport or come pick the Mini up at their convenience.
Clear SC title and sold as is due to damage.
We were going to cut the roof off,but not enough time, as my property has sold and we must move out by late October, hence the emoval of all the parts, (see posted photos for examples of 3 Minis, orange, red and white, with roof removed),

Mini unveils new, stripped down logo
Wed, Dec 13 2017Quirky British marque Mini is going with a ... less-than-quirky logo redesign, unveiling a "flat design" that it says is intended to focus on the essentials. It replaces the three-dimensional white-on-black logo that first appeared in 2000. Gone are the three-dimensional style, shading, gray tones and gray-on-black name of the previous version in favor of a stark contrast of black lines and the all-caps Mini name against a white background. It keeps the wings, which first featured on the iconic cars in the early 1960s, according to the Logos History blog, which has a comprehensive collection of logos stretching back to the brand's origins in 1959 under the British Motor Corp. and the Austin and Morris brand names. It also bears a visual similarity to the logo introduced during the mid-'90s. We're not saying the new logo was designed on an old PC using MS Paint, but it looks like it could've been. Parent BMW Group says the new logo combines stylistic elements from the early phases of the classic Mini "with a future-oriented appearance that focuses on the essentials" and a two-dimensional look "allowing universal application." (Meaning, cheaper to produce?) It'll appear on all new Mini models starting in March on the bonnet, the rear, at the center of the steering wheel and on the remote control.Related Video: Image Credit: BMW Group Design/Style MINI Coupe Sedan branding logo bmw group
Next Mini Convertible spotted on flatbed truck
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Mini is well underway testing the third-generation of its four-place Cooper Convertible, as evidenced by these photos, showing the new droptop riding along on a flatbed.
Codenamed the F57 - as opposed to the "F56" designation for the Hardtop - the Convertible will ride on the same UKL front-drive architecture that will underpin its hardtop brother, not to mention its German cousins, the BMW 1 Series GT and X1. According to our spies, it'll share more than a few of the BMW i's lightweight technologies and will include such advanced features as electronically adjustable dampers. That seems like some high-dollar tech for a droptop Mini, but we'd be quite happy to see it arrive all the same.
From the beltline down, we can expect the Convertible to feature almost identical styling to the Hardtop. Based on the spy photos, there's not a lot to see above the belt line, either. The roof carries roughly the same shape, and will probably fold in a similar Z-pattern to the current canvas top.
Mini Multitone Edition brings triple-color roof to more models
Wed, Aug 31 2022Last year's refreshed Mini line-up introduced the "Multitone" roof for the Mini Cooper SE. It featured three paint colors on the roof that faded into one another. Now that option is available on many more Minis with the Multitone Edition, which also picks up a unique design and trim pieces to accent the fancy top. The Multitone Edition is available on all Mini 3-Door and 5-Door Hardtops as well as the Clubman wagon. The Hardtops are only offered in "Sage Green" while the Clubman only comes in "Indian Summer Red." All of them get a Multitone roof in white, silver and black (the blue and red options from the SE seem to remain exclusive to the little electric hatch). Setting this grayscale roof apart is a set of perpendicular "rainbow" stripes done in a satin clearcoat. This motif is continued around the car where it appears in the two-tone green and red badging on the wheels and fender "scuttles." It also appears on the dashboard and other interior trim. And on the topic of trim, parts that were chrome on regular Mini models are a bright gloss white such as the light surrounds, door handles and fuel filler cap on S models. Two-tone alloy wheels are offered in 17- and 18-inch sizes. Pricing and availability haven't been announced yet. Expect to see the option available sometime this year, and a small premium over whatever trim level it's added to. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
