i've owned this car 3 1/2 years and drove it about 3,000 trouble free miles.always starts right up and EVERYTHING works. great handling but not real quick. will do 65 mph but takes a while getting there. i bought the car from an army corpral that was stationed in italy. he built this car in his spare time and it is a top shelf restoration. i've never seen a better body and paint on a mini. arrow straight and smooth and shiny. the interior is off the hook cool and the main thing of this car is that it was designed to be a rolling stereo. 4 amps and 4 subwoofers that run off 2 batteries. the sound and bass are INCREDIBLE. he spent way too much money on this system. so many new parts including steering, uspension, ires and rims. the only negative with the mini is that it leaks oil. i asked a mini mechanic and he told me that if it doesn't leak oil then there probably isn't any oil in it!! too funny. call with questions dave 908-305-6861 i'll help with shiping at your expense. open to trades but NO BIKES OR BOATS
