Welcome to Restoration-Mini!!
The Vtec kicked in and came on strong....
So, did a '69 still have external hinges and sliders?
A Mk. II Cooper S is now on BaT. Looks pretty nice. And we all know white with a black roof is the best color combination for a Mini. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1969-morris-mini-cooper-s-mk-ii/
Bought my 1st mini from him nearly 20 years ago now. 1999 mpi with 120 miles on the clock. I mean a 1970 . Flew down to Florida to pick it up and became interested in aviation. Who knew that one singular day would determine so much. Today I'm flying a 777 back from Europe and looking forward to going to my shop full of minis.
...and of course Bill C. had to reply as well!
I've noticed R53 MINIs with low miles are bringing a lot more money now too - a 2004 S with low miles sold today for $21,500!!!!!
Bryan's supercharged blue Mini is back on BaT today, and has already attracted some bids.....I hope he gets a good price out of it.
