Old car I parked next to

[redsox985]

Just a little find in the parking lot before going to see "The Expendables". It was set up for racing. Full racing harnesses and roll cage. Motor unknown unfortunately. I wanted to bounce and turn it side ways in the parking stall.

A mini mini at that.

Looks like a genuine cooper s too! There's lots of fakes out there.

That car would have a 1275cc Austin A series engine, they might of modified it too a 1380 though, that's pretty common.

I have a Mini, it's a 1976 Mini S.

Looks like this except brown and with a fair bit of damage.

It was rolled and then left to sit under a tree for 10 years then given to me. I'm going to get a different shell for it and swap the suspension and engine over. It's got a whopping 998cc engine doesn't run of course.

Thanks

I'm positive it's not a fake. After searching the model and names above the passenger door, I found that it's a '64 Austin Mini S. They show it a bit through the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix.

At least a bike throws you away from the crash. Neat cars, deathtraps, but neat.

I think I'd be ok flipping the mini I parked next to as long as I didn't have to pay for it. It had 5 point harnesses, full cage, the works. Just too pretty to trash like that.
