This is a real 1962 Austin Mini Barn Find and will need a complete restoration. This is about as solid of a relatively un-restored Min you'll find.
It was found in storage sitting over 20 years. When I found it the brakes were locked up and I was unable to start it. I had a new aluminum water pump and aluminum radiator installed as sell as a new fan belt. There is also an updated alternator and new starter and solenoid. I also had the cylinder head removed machined and had the valves ground. The car runs very nicely. and shifts through all the gears and goes into revers nicely as well. This is a all drum brake car. I did rebuild the brake cylinders and the car does stop suficiently. I also purchased a new set of YOKOHAMA 165/70r10 tires and have them mounted on a classic set of Cosmic rims. There is a new battery as well. This was originally a 988cc engine - I think. But at some time in its life someone put in a 1275 with twin SU carbs and a OEM header. That is what I know mostly. The car does have the origional hood that has the Austin badge on it. It in in the same condition as the rest of the car. Sorry for no pictures of it. Call if you have questions920-450-1149Curt

For those of you that have looked at the photos of the inside of the car. The floors look like there is rust on them. BUT what looks like rust is the backing of the carpet that was glued to the floor.  (NOT RUST) This is a very solid car. I have no idea what is under the primer on the passenger side of the car though. That was how I found the car.
I also forgot to mention that I did install a new engine external oil cooler as well. Thanks
