San Carlos, California
| The car is a 1968 Mk II model with a newer Mk IV
body. It was restored in Belgium, repainted, and the original
engine was replaced with a 1275cc high compression unit from an MG Metro.
The interior has been uprated to later Mini bits. Everything works,
and the car runs and drives beautifully. The go-cart like handling is amazing.
The car has about 20,000 miles on it since the rebuild.
