Used 1976 MINI Cooper for sale in U.S.

RHD 1976, 7-port, fuel injected, 5-speed custom mini.

This vehicle was built for me to an extremely high standard by one of New Zealands leading mini and race car engineers - Peter Zivkovic (who was also the stunt driver in the NZ mini movie 'Goodbye Pork Pie').

The body was stripped, dipped, de-seamed front and rear, a custom recessed fuel filler was built it, the drivers seat has been re-positioned further back (on runners) to suit tall drivers (owner is 6foot 2inches), rear seats removed.

1330cc motor with 5100k's on the clock. Only NEW parts used from the best manufacturers.
