I am looking for a running classic mini cooper that is a manual and a LHD.
I am also looking for any web sites that sell mini coopers
You can email me at camaro1@iwon.com
Thank you

 

lots of Mini's out there

fewer Coopers

are you really looking for a Cooper or just a classic Mini????

 

just a mini

 

Check out this thread I started a while back:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=36480

some people (other than me) put some links to some good people to talk to or look for mini's

I can't afford another one right now so I am waiting. You should check out Turky's site. I drove by the lot every other day and marvel at the sheer number. He has over 15 mini's right now.

I like your mini it looks really good saved some pics of it for my screensaver so I can drool over it mor often Three thumbs up

 

Perhaps you should check out the post "I wish these were a little closer to home" to see a nifty pair of Minis. Good luck.

 

try spencer at www.theminifarm.com

if spencer doesn't have what you want, he can find it and bring it over. he get's monthly shipments from the uk.

and this is a new thought, I'd recommend a little research into the rules of importing a vehicle which was not legal in US as original contruction. Either you should be learning the right way to do it - what you can and not not import; or learning which rules you are violating when you get 'creative' (like a re-VIN of a 1995 Rover.....)

Who said that?

My 79 aproaches its one year anniversary in the States ...

The process isn't really that hard or expensive, just a bit time consuming. In some cases it can be cheaper to send a car from UK to East Coast than from East Coast to CA!

 

Is there any ways of getting minis into this contry that are totaly legal i heared that you cant inport them anymore legaly I also heard that Boyd Cotington just got a bunch of his cars taken away from him for re-vining or somthing like that because the state of california started cracking down on that


It would suck to get a mini and then get it taken away becuse they figered out that you re-vined the car

 

My 79 was imported fm UK last year and is titled

This form http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/...hs799short.pdf
is the DOT form that lists the exemptions for non-compliant vehicles to
be brought into the US.

The first listed exemption begins: The vehicle is 25 or more years old or...
that's the block checked on my form.

Hence in 2004, the car must have been built in 1979 or earlier. There are other hoops to jump thru with duty and agriculture inspections (don't grow anything in the car!!!) but this is the one that covers the "non compliant" vehicle in terms of pollution control, bumpers etc ... then ya just need to get it titled.

In my state, a vehicle registered as an antique must be 25 years old, I went that way. If registered as an antique the vehicle is exempt from safety inspections - but use is limited; I only drive it on sunny weekends. If you want to register as a daily driver, you must comply with safety inspections etc. Check into your state laws. Note that if the car will be a toy, special antique/collector vehicle insurance can be had (I pay less than $100 annual for "full coverage")

So if you find an '80 or older you can bring it in. 81??? well, question then becomes how hard Customs will chase a fairly inexpensive car in violation....much more fun to bust an exotic The number of newer bodies in the country suggests not too hard {The Classic In Ital Job {new} was what year????}

Of course another block on the form says you post a bond and have X time to make the vehicle compliant....

p.m. me if you want to discuss more

 

Thats true that they probably would not mess with a low cost car they would rather get a million dollar car or somthing like that. That is probably why they went after boyd is because all his cars cost alot and there are alot of his cars in the same place.

Thats good for mini guys

 

Contact this guy, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW as no one bid on it. Sweet little car!

 

The car is really nice but it is not in my price range i am looking for a good daily driver that may need some body work that runs good that i could use untill i have enough money to do a full restoration on it as a project car that i could do

 

contact Dion @ DJMINISCOM He can put you on to one, possibly import for you, or build you one from scratch for a lot less than you might think...

 

I have one for sale, legalized for the US... but it's RHD. RHD is VERY easy to learn - I think it's easier to drive than LHD if you're right handed.
