Vehicle Description
This is a very nice, rust free 1991 Rover Mini Cooper that has had
an extensive Mk I conversion done. It is made to look like a Mk I
Rally Austin Cooper S. This vehicle was imported from Japan, and is
an original RHD car. This is a very quick mini, with the original
1275 bored over to a 1320. It is fitted with a Weber 40DCOE,
headers, 'S' 7.5 slotted power brakes, and a 4-speed Rod Change
gearbox. It is fitted with a switch controlled auxiliary electric
fan, so it stays cool. It cruises on the freeway, and scoots around
town. It does have a clean, Arizona title and it only has 29,000
miles on it. The very well done exterior conversion includes a
swing down license plate with the proper Mk I lights, front
mustache trim and whiskers, correct badging, twin white bonnet
stripes, and a period 'Monte Carlo' style roof rack. Also fitted
are a faux secondary fuel tank with a matching 'Monza' cap, and a
quick release grille, which makes servicing a breeze. All this sits
on Bridgestone SF-248 145SR10 tires with 10' Baby Moon steel
wheels. Also fitted are the popular JDM wing mirrors and chrome
edge stripping on the sills and arch lines. Quad fog lamps have
been fitted also, along with faux door hinges. The interior is
styled after a Mk 1, including the magnolia smiths centre clocks,
and parcel shelf. It has an aftermarket radio with sound system and
12v auxiliary power point for your phone charger or GPS hidden
under the dash. Seats have just been reupholstered in cream and are
fitted with seat extenders. Covered in red velvet colored carpet.
The rear seat seats 2 comfortably. The current owner has had 6
people in this car and it handled it just fine. Also fitted are
opening Quarter glass, which makes it nice and cool in the summer.
This car has been very well maintained, has just been serviced, and
has had many new parts fitted including: new steering rack (a very
expensive repair), new spark plugs, rebuilt carburetor, new
radiator, new radiator cap, new thermostat.
