1973 austin morris mk3 classic mini, richard longman 1380 weber

Here for sale is my much loved 1973 Morris Mini 1380
I am very reluctant to sell my beloved mini. however I am emigrating to Australia forcing me to part with her.

As you can see. this is a stunning looking car with tasteful styling. a real head turner. I have owned her for around 8 years and have shown her a lot of care and attention over these years along with thousands of pounds. In 2008 I completely rebuilt the car to its former glory.

The engine has been rebuilt and tuned by the legendary Richard Longman to the following spec:
Pre A+ cylinder block bored to 1380 cc Omega dished pistons Block depluged New core plugs Faced New cam bearings A+ crank ground b alanced Tuftrided Comp crank bearings 290 degree camshaft New followers Oil and water pumps GT 14 U/L cylinder head - 37. 5 mm inlets x 29 mm ex valves 1. 5:1 roller tip rockets Rod change gearbox with SC/CR 4 synchro gears S/C transfer gears 4 pin diff with 3. 4:1 final drive Centre oil pick up pipe All new bearings e. t. c Lightened b alanced flywheel/clutch back plate with comp clutch assembly

Before having the engine rebuilt it had only covered 14526 miles and I still have the original centre dial and previous mots showing this from 1990 onwards. Since having the engine back from Richard Longman it has only cover 8964 miles. This engine is a little beast and incredibly enjoyable to drive. with the straight cut gears and weber carb it has a very unique sound that you cant help but love.
