Car was shipped straight to Japan, after production. Hence, absolutely NO RUST. New 12" wheels, new tires with 3000 miles, new flares painted body color. Removed old rubber harsh riding sub frame and had top of the line Hi-Los with smooth riding street spring installed. Boy did this make a difference!. Installed new grille, painted Black and chrome surrounds, installed new HD wiper arms and new blades, along with a new double window sprayer. This car gets all the attention every where I go.
There are always a crowd around it at the minute markets when I come out or before I go in. If you don't want attention and questions, don't buy this car! Everyone has their little same old cute remarks "your steering wheel is on the wrong side", "Where's the rest of this car?", "Did you have it shipped over from England?" "Where can I get on?" I always tell them, this one is kinda special, with A/C and auto trans. More expensive than your run of the mill one, but if that's not important to you, you can find cheaper ones on the internet. Yada, Yada Yada can go on as long as you will stay and talk. The women all say "it's just so cute." And it is.
A pre car buyer inspector stated that he had been looking at Minis since he was 17, He's about 50 now, and he had never seen one in this good of shape, He said "never have I seen one with absolutely no rust. Then he said, don't sell this car, keep it as long as you can.
I would, but I have to make long distance road trips to the University of Florida quite often, as I had a Deep Brain Stimulation operation about a year ago, and I have to drive about 4 1/2 hours one way and be analyzed and retuned about every 2 or 3 months. I'm 69 , and just have to have a larger more comfortable riding old man's car. I wish I could keep it and just drive it around here, but I am not that wealthy.
Anyway, if you have any questions, please call cell 912 656 8532 home 912 897 3156.

Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
Mini attempts first-ever backflip in a car
Fri, 04 Jan 2013Not too long ago, the idea of doing a backflip seemed almost impossible on two wheels let alone four, but now the stunt is routinely performed using everything from dirtbikes to monster trucks. Now Mini is getting into the game by attempting to perform a backflip with French stuntman Guerlain Chicherit behind the wheel of a highly modified Countryman, which it claims is the first-ever attempt at doing so with a car.
Another unique element of the jump that Mini is claiming is in regards to the ramp. Past automotive backflips, including Rhys Millen's 2009 jump to ring in the New Year, have used special ramps that help rotate the car, but the ramp Chicherit uses is "unassisted" and the backflip is attempted using only "a gas pedal and a prayer" according to a Mini spokesman for the event.
The video posted below is only a teaser showing the car launch up into the air, but while we have to wait until February 10 to see the final result, it sounds like the landing was a success. According to the Chicherit's Facebook page, practice for the stunt took 18 months of work with "lots of crashes."
2015 Mini Cooper snapped uncovered on the road
Mon, 30 Sep 2013The third generation of reborn Mini is nearly upon us. Just look at the trail of breadcrumbs the Anglo-Saxon automaker has been leaving us.
First we saw the upcoming new Mini Cooper, spied from above at a photo shoot, which Mini was quick to point out was not its best angle. Then BMW's retro-hatch division showcased the Mini Vision concept, and followed up just yesterday with details of the new engines and chassis that will underpin the latest model. And now we have the clearest batch of spy shots we've seen yet.
Not only were these shots taken from a better angle, but also show the new Mini in the more tempting Cooper S trim - complete with hood scoop, split-spoke alloys, roof spoiler and twin central exhaust tips.
