For your considerations, here we offer the 1971
Austin Mini COUNTRYMAN A left-hand drive example that has been upgraded and/\or
modified with a 1.6-liter Honda D16Z6 inline-four equipped with individual
throttle bodies and was installed during the build. The engine block was refurbished
by Golden Eagle Manufacturing of San Dimas in California and is said to
include a ported and polished cylinder head, an aluminum radiator, a
rear-mounted fuel cell, upgraded camshaft, forged pistons, and a MAGNAFLOW exhaust
system, making this MINI one of the kind and superfast!!
The body was repainted blue with matching
fender flares and a white roof under prior ownership, and the interior has been
overhauled with black vinyl and blue fabric upholstery, folding rear seat as
well as the body-color roll bar.
Additional modifications include a five-speed manual transaxle, limited-slip
differential, MAGNAFLOW exhaust, HONDATA engine management, adjustable coil-overs,
a fuel cell
front disc brakes, and 13” wheels.
The Mini is being offered with a clean California title and registration in the
seller’s name.
The Mini COUNTRYMAN has been fitted with fender flares, replacement glass, as
well as Australian-spec doors with roll-up windows before it was repainted its
current shade of blue
with a white roof during the build. Additional equipment includes the MK_II-style
grille, hood pins, aftermarket side mirrors, chrome bumpers, ambulance-style
rear doors, and a locking
fuel filler cap.
Revolution-style 13 INCH wheels with black-finished centers and polished lips
are wrapped with 175/50 Sumitomo HTR 200 tires. The vehicle rides on
independent front and rear suspension with adjustable coil-overs all around
while braking is handled via front discs with finned drums out back.
The cabin is coated with a bed liner material
and fitted with seats trimmed in black vinyl with blue fabric inserts along
with matching door panels. Black carpets line the floors, and a replacement
headliner was installed under previous ownership. Appointments include a
body-color roll bar, a Wil-Wood pedal box, front shoulder belts, and an
auxiliary cable wired to speakers housed in the dash. An additional outlet in
the dash allows input to the HONDATA engine management system.
A SPARCO steering wheel fitted with a
quick-release sits ahead of a body-color dashboard housing a SPA Design instrument
panel that features a 9K-RPM Tachometer, a 160-MPH speedometer, and a digital
display engine running condition.
The odometer shows under 2,000 miles where 800 approximate miles have been
added by me, the owner.
Total chassis mileage is unknown.
