fuel: gas
title status: clean
transmission: manual
1960 Mini LHD - very early project - barn find 95%++ complete including sliding windows w the metal catches & brass hinges. Did not have the original engine but I found a 1960 850cc Magic Wand take-out runner to go with. Car is partially disassembled to inspect - it's naked so all is visable. So naked, nothing can be hidden. Have assembled it enough to hold all the parts n roll around. lots of dings from its 58 years of life. Has a good exhaust in it too. Have 2x rare original non-spacered MiniFin drums for the front brakes and have included a set of twin leading shoe brakes to go with.

Has a couple ultra rare 59 parts (slam panel & one door's worth of 1-hole sliding glass) Has rotted out floors n boot to being stored over dirt. The first couple of years of Mini's had some special features like unique floor pans. The pan is rotted on the flat portions, not up into the sills. None of the panels on this car will need replacement so you'll get factory seams.
 
Someone from the UK recently looked at it and says it's one of the best examples of a restorable Mini he has ever seen. However - not much to look at - someone covered with red primer. TONS of pictures. Please hit me back with a phone & I'll send you a link. Has the vin tag still attached where it's supposed to be & pink & an email from Heritage saying it's an April 1960.
