stiff price for a 66 that has been messed with
wrong engine size
mirrors
a lefty
front wheel track suggests a Cooper disk replacement that changes the track . . .
sweet car but me thinks the $$ is a bit high
IF it sells (sold) at this price I'll hang mine out for more ! ! !

The engine has been changed, but the disc brakes are the same as an S type and the mirrors are the same that the car came with. I have also replaced the cooling system (w/p, rad over sized, all belts & hoses, thermostat), complete upgrade on brakes (disc & power booster), all the suspension that is avaiable, all new wiring harness throughout the complete car. All work done at a mini garage that knows what they are doing.

let me re-phrase
It is a very nice looking car
however I think at that price one is looking for a 'correct' Cooper and as you acknowledge: this isn't.
While your improvements make sense - I have some of the same ones - they make the car "not an original" and MAYBE that hurts the selling price.
The non-standard parts alone in my 79 price out to over $12,000 not including labor ... but I doubt I could get $10,000 for it. Especially today!
You could try to push the fact it IS left drive . . . some prefer that. But if showing the car, the right hand drive seems to be a gimmick the visitors like.
Bottom line: a used car is worth exactly what you find someone is willing to pay for it (and you've cashed the check!)

Nice car, wish I could buy it. I really like the fact it is not a re-vin'd car.
I will never understand why folks will post negative comments about someones Mini that is for sale. If it is too much or you don't like it don't buy it. Simple...
