WTH??!?! Have you seen this item on ebay.

[minimans]

The reason for the old/wrong no & documents, is that you cant legally import/registre any Mini into USA, after 69 (app)

The law changed in 1998, there is now a rolling 25 year cut off for personal imports.

Section 8 on the following link.

There is now a fast growing market for Euro spec 1980's hot hatches in the US. This could also see an increase in demand for Rover Minis in the next 10 years, so buy now whilst they are still relatively cheap.

Except good old California which has no rolling exemption...................I want a Metro R4 but it ain't going to happen.....................

It's an '89 BAC M-30 car

Only 30 even made

One of the Mini guys on fb, posted an old article, from the 90ies, it say "only 3 were made"

The article I have from when the BAC was new, say they "planned" to do 30, as it was a 30 jubilee model,
but the reporter could not see that anyone would pay that amount of money.

BAC 30 below that was Bernie Ecclestones and raffled in 2009

Mini BAC M30
This is a truly rare opportunity to win a British icon, a Mini Thirty Special Edition. There are only three of these in existence and this is a head turning show stopper!
This was once owned by Bernie Ecclestone.

Avonbar converted a couple with their ZX engine
Quote:
"I knew of 3 BAC M30's. Red, Blue and Green. We converted the red and blue one. DVLA says that the red one G568 FHB is now green.
Only pic I have of Blue one is the interior."

It's an '89 BAC M-30 car (or a look alike with all the right stuff attached)

Only 30 even made

Looks like Laurence Llewelyn Bowen was let loose on that, I'm surprised they sold 3 never mind 30!

The Saxon Green unfinished project looks fantastic!

that mini is a pretty clean car, engine colour is wrong though. it should be UK engine green, where they have painted it Aussie engine green.
and its a pity about the non factory white roof.

Seems like quite an abrasive guy - I remember the hoo-haa over the 1960 car on 59 plates that he sold recently. Surely no need for comments like 'extremely anal' and 'ask the wife's permission'...

[mk1]

Please refrain from referring to this ebay auction.

I have no wish to see another bout of arguments on here! I'll concede that the seller does himself no favours referring to the 59 register as he does, but I have no say as to what people put in their ebay adds. I do not however want to see any bad blood over these comments drawn out here.

For what it's worth, & if it is right it looks like an excellent project 59.

[evosal]

The comment about the "anal 59 register" was just a bit of light hearted banter after all the stick over the last advert, hence the smiley face after the comment on the advert, in fairness I think Bill has seen the funny side of it as well.

For that 'no corners cut' price, I'd expect Hydrolastic suspension and a much better detailed engine bay.

Very nice looking car though.

[Nick W]

Looking at the engine bay , it's got the mk3 moulded heater pipe , were these ever fitted to mk2s?.

[Charlynsane]

Never..

[Spitz]

I thought wet suspension was phased out in 68....would dry not be correct for the last of the Coopers?

no, it should be hydolastic.

The early clubmans and mk3 S's were still hydrolastic.
