Where's Theron - he must be ready for another one.  Selling my 79 Mini Cooper as I just picked up a Lotus & don't have the room to store both.  $16,500 OBO.  I'd consider interesting trade + cash.  Can't be another car but motorcycles, guitars, etc.  You know hairy manly stuff....

Runs and drives great. Because it's green, it's fast. Anyone that knows Minis, knows that the green ones are the fastest. Some say faster that a Porsche Turbo or Viper. I can't promise you that, but I know when you get a nice gust of wind at your back, this little car really moves. Lots of fun and smiles when you drive this one.

Yeah, the prices seem to be climbing on these little cars.  Finding one that is rust free is tough.  This one is very well sorted & has some nice upgrades.  I drive it quite a bit and autocross is several times a year.  It's one of the older/slower cars on the course.  But do to my cat like reflexes and nerves of steel, I usually end up finishing in the middle of the pack.  I just know at the end of the day I'm tired and hot.  No fancy power steering/brakes, electronic aids, etc.  Lots of fun.  Bought the Lotus because I'm tired of losing to miatas & ford focus (es) or is it foci?
