Great Mini for a newbie! - I'm letting her go.

Hey all... I'm parting ways with my baby... I love her to death and hate to drive without getting smiles and thumbs up from everyone, but she's got to go... Here's a few pics from a show this weekend...





I listed her in the marketplace, so check her out... she'd be perfect for anyone wanting to get into minis without having to do any work on the ride to get it going or address any issues, as it's cherry!

All the details are there, but I thought I'd let you classic guys know as it looks like BMW land in there and not many classics listed... I've got the original manual/paperwork and mot/import inspections on her, one owner from 1975-2001 and only 26k original miles... runs amazingly and everything works perfect. check here out here if you want to just see what I did with her...

Check out the listing in the marketplace for price and a few more details.

i like the mini alot but i'm not a big fan of heavily modded vehicles like your TC. your wife's car is prolly more my style. lambo doors are cool but too much for me unless there is a lambo attached.

Trying to get rid of all our debt... going to buy a house... it's painful, but will help a decent bit to reach the goal.

Ouch. what if you sell the scion and keep the mini? better gas milage, and the scion will rake in more cash

Yeah, but the Scion starts on cold mornings, I'd bet.

Nicely MODded car... Did you do the Lambo doors on the Scion yourself or have a shop do them? I've been flirting with the idea for that MOD on my 2005 Cooper S cabrio for like 2 years...

Good luck on the sale and on the new house - looks like a tasty little ride.

My Mini starts like a champ all the time... a little choke and she's good to go no problem... Super reliable as long as I've had her....

I already sold the Scion in the past... It was mostly sponsored, so it sold for good money and paid off all my wife's college after all those commitments were done.... HeHe

The doors can be bought for most cars, ("Almost" bolt on) from JTAutostyle or Vertical Doors Inc... I've seen a mini convertible with them on and it looked a bit nifty... I didn't pay for mine, so I figured what the heck... They are a pain for a non-show car for sure.

If you know anyone who knows anyone... let them know about the mini!

My classic always starts right up as well, but I'd not drive it in the rain or snow.

Wow very nice tC. I drive a 2006 Camouflage Metallic xB lowered and all sorts of stuff done to it.
