Classic mini 1975, 1275cc

I have owned this car for a few years now. Been an absolute blast! Swapped out a bunch of parts but have a problem I can’t tackle.

In need of assistance in the North East.

Can anybody recommend a shop with experience working on classic minis within 100 miles of Manhattan island? Preferably north of Manhattan.

If it is an engine related issue I would seek out a shop that has experience with the A-series engines. They were put in tons of cars, probably easier than finding a Mini specific mechanic.

A quick search found these guys. http://briarcliffclassic.com/

Reviving this thread to see if the OP was able to find a place and how things turned out...

It would be nice if folks would at least follow up on their posts. It seems like people just ask a question and then disappear.
