Description:

1974 Morris Mini 1275cc
This is a true British car in every way, but is legally registered in the US so you have no issues registering/insuring it here. No import hassles or re-VIN problems.
This car is COMPLETE, drives very strong, and NEEDS NOTHING. This is not a fixer-upper. This is ready to go immediately with no work needed. You could daily drive this badboy if you were so inclined.
I have always kept it garaged. I never drove it in the winter, and only a few times even in the rain. This has been well taken care of and well loved.
This is a daily-driveable car that also has won 1st place in its class at several shows
Here are the Specs:
Motor: 1275cc Motor with HIF 44SU Carb. This car originally had the smaller motor (998cc, I believe), but it had a 1275 transplanted and tuned by a Mini specialist in MA before my purchase. The 1275 is a powerful motor and lets you cruise on the highway no problem (also due to the 2.9 final drive: see next line item).
Gearbox: Original 4 speed manual gearbox with 2.9 final drive (more than capable on the highway, and still very quick off the start)
Drive: True original British right-hand drive
Body: Tahiti Blue body and interior with White roof Sportpak Wheel Arches
Interior: Original centre binnacle and dashboard. I kept its original simplicty and beauty! Original black seats Upgraded carpet
Wheels: 12 Mini Light rims (maximum size you can fit without cutting the body)
Brakes: Front disc conversion, Rear drums
Suspension: Cone suspension (as originally fitted. Handles like its on rails!)
Exhaust: RC40 system (high quality performance exhaust) - with customized rear section for a centre exit (see photo)
**If you have any questions, please ask before you bid! This car has made me very happy. I am sad to see it go, but I am soon running out of garage space, and I refuse to keep this beauty outdoors.

Used
“Clean registration in CT.The car is a classic. Only driven in fair weather, always garaged. It is not a pristine showroom-condition car, but it is in great condition and runs very well. It has been given some upgrades for safety and quality (brake servo to increase braking power, 12" "Mini Lite" wheels, Sportpak fenders were added, and the car was stripped down to bare metal, all rust removed and repainted inside and out in 2005. Color: Tahiti Blue).”
