A running Mk. I Mini said to be a Cooper.   A '62, so not a Cooper S.  If it's really a Cooper it started with a 997,  and now appears to have a 1275.

Not inexpensive at $22K.

One thing for sure, if a Mini has 10" wheels it is very likely pre-1985 because few people go to the effort to convert from 12" or 13" to 10" wheels.  So this might actually be a '73.

If you are unable, or unwilling, to use a manual, this automatic Mini is for sale.

I worked on this Mini a few years ago for the previous owner did a head gasket and some other work.
The car was restored for him in the UK to a very high standard.
He sold it and it has been for sale in South Florida for 2 to 3 years for I believe an unrealistic $15,900.

This car popped up on Craigslist today - it was my first new MINI, a 2003 JCW with lots of custom hardware and touches. I bought it from the original owner - he bought it new at Baron and between the JCW kit and aero package, body colored, and all the interior trim they said he spent $40K - in 2003! He traded it back in to Baron in 2006 and I bought it from them.....I sold it in 2009 when I ordered my Clubby and it went to Des Moines. He traded it it on a new JCW the next year and it has been kicking around Des Moines ever since....

It's been for sale for at least 6 years.  I remember seeing it in early 2014 when I was looking for a new Mini.  Looks very sharp, but let down IMO by being overpriced and a deal-breaker automatic.

Seeing a car you used to own can be like seeing an old friend.  I know Mark still fondly remembers his old MINI even though it's been gone more than a decade.

Actually had a chance to buy it a couple years back.  Someone on the metroplex forum had posted the listing asking questions. Since it was a dealership it had a free view of car fax so I verified it was mine.  However it appeared to have had a rough life after my ownership and really didn't need another car.
I am the GR8KORNHOLIO! Are you threatening me?

I was half tempted but I know it would need thousands spent on it, I'm sure it needs a clutch by now and the "while you have it outs" would add up. Plus they blacked out all the chrome (hopefully with plasti dip) and the driver's seat looks pretty rough.

Who knows, it may pop up again when I'm better suited to working on it .....

BruceK .... while you're on a roll, keep scouring those ads nationally. When and if you find a VTEC Clubman Estate, send it my way. If I end up purchasing it, we will arrange for a finders fee. Gauntlet thrown.

Thanks Dave.

I know John well and have communicated with him a bit within the last few months about this quest of finding one or building one. Per the last time we spoke, he was not interested in selling. He knows to keep an eye out for me.


MiniDave

Yeah, he seems to change his mind every few weeks. He made a deal with a friend of mine, then changed his mind when he got it running again......I'd stay in touch with him.
