Bring it in disassembled as parts in a consolidated container shipment. That'd require an accomplice on the other end.

A VIN transplant from a qualifying car. Also requiring an accomplice. And keep your fingers crossed that customs doesn't know a 67 Cooper S didn't have air bags...

or (most sensible) have someone in the UK restore a qualifying Mini to your spec. It'll cost less total in the long run.

I had just sealed the deal before MacDintons this past Tuesday!

Phil and I were chatting inside about it while you were showing yours off.

Basically, I will keep it that way for a bit, I know I want to paint it in time differently. I will take my time and decide on the final color later.

Yeah, that's a damn good pic from a phone, lol, but it is only that, a phone image, lol.

I have had an '03CVT, '04S, and I now have an '05S, guess I needed to get into the Mini roots sooner or later.
