Here we have a 1968 Austin Mini Turbo, a great choice for anyone
who doesn't want to drive a large vehicle. It's compact, easy to
maneuver, and economical on fuel. The black paint contrasts nicely
with the white checked roof and white stripes, giving this Mini a
classic yet sporty appearance. The wheels are in good shape, and
all the chrome and brightwork present well. LED headlights have
been installed, and four auxiliary lights sit in front of the
grille, adding both style and visibility. Overall, this is a
well-preserved Mini that would be a blast to drive, especially in a
busy city where traffic and tight parking spaces are common.
The black interior delivers a small racing-inspired feel. The
bucket seats come from a Miata and remain in good condition,
offering improved support while driving. The door panels, carpet,
and headliner are all in good shape as well. An aftermarket
steering wheel has been installed, featuring a quartz clock mounted
in the center where the horn would typically be located. Behind the
wheel sits a set of aftermarket Smiths gauges in the cluster, along
with an added Smiths tachometer. The shifter and parking brake are
mounted on the floor in the center. All the glass is in good
condition, and while space is limited, there is a small carpeted
trunk area for light cargo.
Power comes from a 1380cc turbocharged inline-four paired with a
1-barrel carburetor. A Flamethrower HV ignition system has been
added along with a Fletcher aluminum radiator. The engine bay is
very clean and tidy, while the engine itself connects to a 4-speed
manual transmission. The suspension retains a stock-style setup and
works with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes to provide solid
stopping power. The car rides on 12-inch wheels at all four corners
wrapped in 165/55R12 tires. Exhaust duties are handled by a shorty
header that flows into a single exhaust pipe and an aftermarket
muffler.
