Hey everyone, just thought i would share my new mini with everyone.

Just bought this 1974 Austin Mini 850 today. I LOVE it!



I will try to get more pictures of it tomorrow.

 

I love it, its amazing how tiny it looks next to that other huge car

 

i know, surprisingly its not that bad room wise inside. I have no complaints yet with it.

 

nice but damn that is small!!!!!!!

 

Nice!

 

Are you going to restore it or mod it?

 

love it

 

Where does the line form for rides?

 

a little of both. It needs some body work done, to get rid of the rust and then it will get paint etc.

I like it original like it is, but love modded ones. Since it only has the 850cc motor, that will get changed eventually. The rear seats will be removed and a cage installed. fender flares and some larger wheels/tires as well. That is all i have in mind for now.

This will be taking the backseat to the R53 tho, since i need some more parts for that.

 

im sure we can get it started at your place. ahaha. hopefully it doesn't snow soon and i can drive it a little while longer.

 

How's the classic doing? I haven't seen it around town yet, you should be driving it a lot with our mild winter.

 

I havent been driving it. I parked it cause I thought our winter was going to be normal. It is currently sitting in a hanger at the airport.

I had an offer to buy it, considered it for awhile. $5k for not doing anything to it would be decent, but haven't heard back so I will most likely be keeping it. I have my new differential and ViPEC ecu coming for my r53, so as soon as that is done I will start looking into the rust issue on the classic.
