Let's be clear; this isn't the car you will win trophies with. It's a good little car that someone will have fun with, as we did, for well under $10,000, and that's rare in the world of classic Minis. We have owned the car for about 4 years and drove it regularly for the first few years, but life got busy and one time we didn't drive it for about 9 months and we weren't able to get it started again, and I'm not enough of a mechanic to know why. We replaced the battery, the fuel, the spark plugs and the carburetor. The motor would turn over fine but not start, and now the battery has gone down so it is Not Running. I figure it's an easy fix but you will not be able to drive it home. There is rust in the front floorboards, especially on the passenger side. With that said, this is a very cute car that someone will enjoy as much as we did.The odometer displays 66,936. I do not know if that is accurate. I do not know the early history of this car. We acquired it in North Carolina with a clear title and we have a clear TN title.
