WOW! What a cute little Mini... Seems to be in very nice condition. Very reasonable price, too. I would have thought they would be asking somewhere around $10k. Wouldn't be surprised if a speculator gobbles this one up. For me, not sure I could ever get used to the RHD.
Very nice Mini! The couple of times that I've driven an RHD car (in the UK) I found it completely natural since you (and everyone else, you hope) are driving on the left-hand side of the road. My big worry about driving an RHD car in the U.S. or Canada would be that one time when you are tired, distracted or something and forget which side of the road you should be on. That would be the time you come face-to-face with a transport truck. In a Mini!
That is a nifty wagon. I got to test drive the new Mini Clubman at a Mini test drive event and it is fun wagon to drive.
if that sells for 10K then just buy one from the UK for $3K max and ship it over which costs $1500 (to CA, probably less to NY). A cool 5k profit
$10k or so is what the old ones were going for down in Orange County, CA when I lived down there.....
I am surprised the engine required being photographed in two halves! Wouldn't it just about fit on a dinner plate? I would drive it!
