I have been doing some research for the last month or so on older Mini's. Basically, I want to get one that's in decent condition to fix up.

Can anyone think of any good resources or places that I can find out where some older Mini's are available, etc? Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

They have a 'cars for sale' section too!

... and if look at Moss' UK site, you'll find Classic stuff they don't advertise in the US :

Here is my thread I posted a while ago. You will find good info here as well.

 

Xanthus, I moved your post into Classic Mini Talk

Sorry Mark, it was really late at night when I posted this, I was looking for the Classic Mini section, must have skipped right over it...

Anyway, wow, thanks for the links and info! The thing is, I want one that's in OK condition, not one that's all fixed up like those VTEC ones, although those are really sweet.

 

Greetings.

Hi, try these Chassis Mini clubs too!

Mini Owners of America San Francisco Chapter http://www.moasf.com

Mini Owner of America Los Angeles Chapter http://www.moala.org

We just got a 1969/1999 Chassis Rover Mini. It's all silver with a lot of chrome, 1275cc MPI, I think it puts out about 70hp and at 1500lb, it's fast! It also gets 41.2mpg!!!

So, good luck finding your chassis mini, it's out there.

i have this mini for sale in the near future. i am just waiting to get the title back from nys dmv. the car is a 1975 nz mini and is rust free. it runs mint . the int is like brand new. pm or email me if your interested.

 

This is BY FAR the best classic Mini sight I've come across. These cars are so sweet! Never thought I'd say this, but there are a few on here that I would definitely consider selling my S for.
