Can somebody help me out here? Has anybody heard of this? I know they revin newer minis to imports them into the states i personally import Classic minis and sell them as a hobby. I messaged a person on ebay about her "1967" Mini and this it what she said.

Hello,
I purchased it from Oregon and registered it here in California. I was told that the factory restore took place in 2000. That is all I know for the history that the factory took this 67 and complete factory restore was done. This is very rare and in show room condition. I have taken it to car shows and special mini events and have have received many compliments. Should you need more photos or have any questions - feel free send me a message.

Sounds like to me it is actually a 200 that has been re-vined rather than a 67 that has been restored but i may be wrong. Anybody know for sure???

Thanks in advance

1973 Arrives this week!

 

pics will tell......so please post pics....

 

SOME PICS MAY help. 67s did not have roll down windowns. So it's either a 2000 sold as a 67 or a 1967 car restore to factory specs in 2000. The latter tend to be pricy if done right as some bits are hard to get.

 

do you have any pics? i'm sure we could tell from them.

 

250200916226 heres the item number on ebay

 

not a 67 it's a re -vin

 

See thats what i was thinking. But shes getting a pretty penny for it though i can get the exact mini from england re-vinned. Maybe i should buy that one next and sell. But i am more a classic man. Hmmm thanks Norm

 

it's very nice but heafty price tag on it

 

definitely a revin!!
nice lookin mini tho...

 

i know thats what i am saying maybe i ought to buy the one from my mini guy in england. And turn around and sell it.

 

way too much money!!!

 

I will post pics of my 73 when i go pick it up this weekend it arrives this week!! Its gorgeous!

 

cool!

 

Right....

#1 the factory didn't restore any cars for the public - only built new.
#2 only a complete **** would be fooled into thinking this was a 67, damn lucky she got it registered in CA (if she did) an out of state inspection sure would've raised some questions I think.
#3 is this sale for real or possible scam?

 

I'm saying scam. Its a German spec vehicle anyways. Look at the speedo. Its in Kilometers, plus its left hand drive. Its the exact vehicle I am parting out except mine has the power full length sunroof, and mine is volcano orange.

Mines coming along nicely. Everything from the firewall back is removed except for a few small bits in the doors like the locks and exterior door handles.

 

FWIW, "factory restore" is a meaningless phrase.

 

That is is exactly what i thought! I knew but i will say not a 100% thats why i posted it. Factory restore???? WTF....Anyways thanks
