Vehicle Description
The Mini is an icon for the way it united the British social
classes under one car that was versatile and fun, and this 1970
Austin Mini celebrates the best of it all. The exterior has a
bright and clean style, but you can also notice a hint of a sporty
side with the Cooper-inspired stripes. The fender flares let you
fit more substantial Minilite-style wheels that also make room for
front disc brakes. The interior also gives you some nice upgrades
like later and more comfortable front bucket seats. But it still
keeps it classic in the right place, like how the crisp Smiths
gauges are still the center focal point inside. Best of all, the
mighty motor under the hood is running strong, and so you can
experience the fun full package that few people ever got to have in
the USA.

of the most engaging cars you've ever experienced. So to find an
example that has been nicely restored and upgraded to be a solid
driver just makes this deal irresistible. Call today!!!
