Welcome to Restoration-Mini!!
One of the brake rotors is badly scored, either it's down to the metal on the pad or they stuck in a new set and didn't bother to machine the rotor......any way you cut it it will need brake work too.The best thing I can say about it is that it doesn't seem rusted, and the body looks original, but the resell red respray didn't do it any favors, with over spray everywhere and lots of Edd China's satin black on everything else. This is definitely a "spritz and flip" car.
New Mini on BaT. A JDM one that’s missing bumpers and has a roofrack and a 998. Can’t see this one going too high. Maybe $10k - $11K? Edit: the import paperwork shows the purchase price was under $2800 (!). So either the buyer got a real bargain, or maybe the importer lied to the feds and falsified the customs paperwork. In either case, some mental gymnastics are needed to justify a 300% or more increase over that for bidding. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1990-rover-mini-cooper-3
Here’s another JDM Mini just listed on BaT. I’ve never heard of anyone calling it a “four-speed“ model. Thanks How is it this highly non-original car (which is frankly not that impressive) was acceptable for BaT and Michael’s car was not? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-rover-mini-2/

A Moke from Oz is on BaT. Wonder how it will do compared to an English one? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-leyland-moke-californian/
It’s palindrome time: racecar!https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-austin-mini-7/
A Cooper S from Oz is now on BaT. I’m not familiar with all of the unique features of the Australian Minis, I’m sure someone will chime in with comments if things aren’t right. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-morris-australian-built-cooper-s/
