Price: $8500
Description: Up for sale is my JDM '96 Rover Mini/Classic mini. It's an SPI (Single point injection) 1275cc (1.3L) Cooper S that puts out ~80hp, and has a 4spd manual transmission. I imported this in Jan 2014, and while I love driving it, and the attention I get out of it, I can't afford to keep it (and my other vehicles) and autox prep it. I also have no reason to keep it as a summer toy, since I have the S2000 and 2 bikes.

It's British racing green with a white roof and white stripes on the hood, with proper John Cooper pin striping
It has 94k on it
1.3L SPI motor, 4spd manual transmission
Seat rail extenders for a little extra leg room (tons of head room)
Leather seats, wood dash
Wood Grain aftermarket Nardi Wheel
Aftermarket pioneer head unit (NA spec)
12" Cooper wheels
165/55/12 Dunlop Sport RT classic tires. These should be replaced soon, as they're down to roughly 6/32nds
Adjustable hi-lo cones (ride height adjustable)
Adjustable Caster toe-bars
Rotella T6 5w40 (runs great, but calls for 20w50 oil.
1x Extra oil filter
1x Extra fuel filter
Set of extra front cones
K&N Cold air intake
Test pipe cat delete
A few stock parts leftover
Printed PDF version of Haynes manual
I removed both of the wing mirrors.

Spark plugs, spark plug wires, water pump were all replaced last summer. It was also given a once over by a local shop that specialises in Classic Mini's (Auto-Mann), who installed the toe bars, adjusted the ride height, fixed the exhaust leak in the header, and reattached the muffler.

New tires installed.

Nope. That thing is a money pit and I'll never recoup my losses. I'm running that thing to the ground.

Bump. Kijiji buyer was interested in more pictures, so I cleaned him up and went to town. Raw dumps of the shots are here, and it's all candid, no holds barred. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lildrunkensmurf/sets/72157656174927262

Did this ever sell?  I saw one in Kensington a few weeks ago in the same colors.

Nope. I moved to a place with a garage, and now that I have the room to actually work on it, it's getting a mini-rebuild.
