This vehicle I restored with Ken at Rally Sport in New Haven VT. The vehicle was completely gutted and rebuilt to exacting standards for the dual purpose of road ability and some low key sports car events. Restoration Included a brand new 1380cc engine (with some upgrades) and 4 speed transmission. We finished the project in late 2009 and shortly there after I moved to Cape Cod driving it down under its own magnificent power! I have driven it sporadically and shown it in a couple of car events and a parade but never competitively. I may have put a total of 1500 miles on it and the engine seems to have broken-in well. It is an original right hand drive car but everything else has been upgraded. All new leatherette interior with wooden dash upgrades from England. 

The only known defect is a non-working gas gauge - it did work but read in reverse, full when empty. Since odometer works never seemed to need to repair gauge. Always garaged and covered. 
This is a very drive-able and loads of fun car and a real  head turner. The mileage on the odometer shows 39,000 + and probably it was accurate but I listed 1500 since that is my guesstimate since restoration. Some other items, Front Disc Brakes, rear finned drums, adjustable suspension, upgraded clutch components and many more. Have close to 60K invested, an expensive project but much fun and the results show the quality of the restoration!
Reason for selling - I'm now 73, bought a camper and plan to travel. Cars are meant to be driven and not sitting in garages so will part reluctantly with my Mini. As an aside I used to race and rally Mini's in the 60's and 70's so am very familiar with these cars and this is a true winner! Another aside is that I am five foot ten inches and weigh 250 lbs - a very easy fit for me. The car is at my home on Cape Cod and will gladly show to any legitimate buyer.

Mini to offer a double-clutch transmission, but not in U.S.

Fri, Dec 22 2017

Mini has padded next year's option sheet with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, so long as you're not buying in America. Available for the three-door, five-door, and convertible Mini models using "selected engine types," the DCT will provide a third transmission option after the standard six-speed manual and six-speed Steptronic automatic. Minis fitted the twin-clutch will be known by the meaty new gearshift lever that, BMW style, returns to its central position after the car's put into gear. A button at the top of the lever activates Park. Sensibly, you push the lever forward to downshift, and pull it back to upshift. When a buyer springs for navigation and the DCT, the transmission taps into map routing data and camera images to hone shift programming; the gearbox will downshift early when approaching a turn, or read a series of bends to know when to shift and when to hold steady. Fitted with a crawl function for ease of use in stop-and-go traffic, the DCT additionally supports stop/start, and coasting in Mid and Green driving modes for those times the driver takes his foot off the accelerator. For the time being, though, we're not invited to the party. Mini USA Communications Manager Mariella Kapsaskis told Motor1 that manufacturing the wet-clutch, dual-mass flywheel DCT "takes up lots of capacity." Which is the automaker equivalent of being told, "We're just not that into you right now." We expect that would change at some point; however, some of Mini's most sporting U.S. competitors also don't offer DCTs, so who knows.
