Something awesome just pulled up

In our driveway









Needs some work, a little rust and a broken engine mount, plus 3rd gear synchros are gone.

I love this car, and honestly... if it was in better shape I would trade the rex

I was fond ot the original Minis when they first came out. The new ones are a great updated version, keeping faithful in concept and design to the earlier addition. Have fun adjusting to the RHD.

He wants $4000 for it. Not bad, needs some things but is in line for what he is asking.

I asked him if he is looking for a trade. He likes my RX and brought it up first.
