Used 1971 Classic Mini Cooper, Vintage & Retro for sale in Charlottesville, VA

Vehicle Description

Super clean left-hand drive 1971, 998 cc Mini for sale with 80,900 miles and lots of upgrades. Car is garage kept and has all receipts going back to 2007 – several thousand dollars in improvements. It just received a tune up and detailing, it runs and looks great. I’ve also added seat extenders to improve comfort for taller drivers (I’m 6’1” and fit fine).

Below is a list of improvements, please contact me if you have questions or would like to test drive the car. 12 years of spare parts are listed separately, let me know if you are interested in those too.

The car is a head turner with other drivers constantly taking pictures 😊.

Notes & Clarifications
• Paint job has some imperfections, see pictures
• Chrome mirrors have some pitting on the base
• Engine smokes a little on startup, however, the motor has great compression and doesn’t burn oil. New valve guides should cure this, but I haven’t bothered to replace these.
• Tires are ok but probably should be replaced. Spare tire doesn’t hold air.
• The brake pedal shaft bushing causes friction on the shaft. I’m fine with this but it could be replaced for a few dollars. Firm pedal and no issues with the brake booster or brake pistons.
• Mild oil leak at the drive shafts. Replacement parts for this leak will come with the sale including new bushings, gaskets, and boots.
• Some rust along the bottom of the passenger door. See pictures.
• The walnut interior parts have some cracking in the clear coat, see pictures.
• Vinyl decals have some cracking, see pictures.
