Description

I bought this car five years ago in Miami form a collector — he was selling it for a German. I drove it back to Kentucky but blew a head in Tennessee, o I had to have the engine completely rebuilt (about $6,000). Shortly afterwards I was rear-ended at a stoplight, o I had to have the back repainted. Apart from that (!) the car has never had a single problem, lthough I've only put a few thousand miles on it.
I have a classic Triumph motorbike, o I had the Mini's bonnet stripes painted to match it (black hood with white stripes and very, ery subtle gold pinstriping — it's stunning to see). I also had rally lights professionally installed on the front grille.
The car runs beautifully and I've used it as a daily driver during nice weather. As mentioned, had no hesitation driving it over 1,000 miles from Miami to Louisville (the engine blew because a hose came loose).
The interior is fine, ut it could be redone. It's got a walnut dashboard that has a crack in it, nd the original oatmeal carpet, hich doesn't fit very well. There's no rust anywhere on the car or inside / underneath it.
It runs like a scalded dog and shifts wonderfully.
My mechanic is highly respected in classic car and racing circles, nd he's more than happy to vouch for its integrity.
