I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of a Mini Equinox or more information about them or if anyone knew of any for sale. I'm looking to buy one but they're a pain in the boot to find.

 

GREAT book for anything classic-related. Literally every marque, import, and specialty variety is listed (including the Equinox), along with tech specs and a TON of useful info. It's listed as "Out of Stock" on Amazon (it does every now and then), but you can probably find it by looking around:

As far as the rest... What do you wanna know? Typing "Mini Equinox" netted me a ton of interesting sites:

Etc.

Here... TRY THIS. (( ducking ))

 

Thanks (I like the link to the flikr page)
But I was also wondering if anyone else had their own personal pictures of their Equinox...

 

Man I hope so... I've NEVER seen one "in the flesh". I think the interior is equal parts "intruguing" and "horrifying". That's a tricky balance to strike, lemme tell you...

 

PS - good luck finding a real 'Nox... From that "Equinox Registry" site:

How many?

Many thanks to Claire, who wrote an email to the site with some information to clear up the query as to how many Equinoxes were made. Back in 1997 when the Equinox was just rolling off the production line Claire wrote to Rover about her Equinox and asked how many were made. The response was below:

Thanks for the information Claire!

 

I love the interior of the Equinox!! And I love the purple!

 

LOL... that came in other colors, as well...

1. Platinum Silver:
   DAE102170RBL - Decal-tonneau - Platinum/Purple
   DAE102130RBL - Decal-bootlid - Platinum/Purple
2. Charcoal:
   DAE102170RBK - Decal-tonneau - Gold/Charcoal
   DAE102130RBK - Decal-bootlid - Gold/Charcoal
3. Amaranth:
   DAE102170RKN - Decal-tonneau - Amaranth/Gold
   DAE102130RKN - Decal-bootlid - Amaranth/Gold

 

There's a couple listed over on uk ebay. There was also an interior listed too. Maybe just have a clone built?

 

I think that's what people usually do, yeah. I have NO IDEA where one would find that material for the interior, though.

I was saying to buy these and persuade the seller to ship them to you.

 

That would work... To be a true clone, you'd need the same fabric for the door cards as well, but it wouldn't look bad with just plain black leatherette... Shipping will be a BEAR though.

 

I almost bought an Equinox interior from the UK but shipping was 450 dollars...

 

I think Meno's K-series VTEC during it's OEM life was an Equinox.

 

There was one for sale in Dunedin FL for a long time. Reasonable price too. Might try Dion at DJMINIS.com he knew the owner, may still be about??

 

Sweet!
