[1380_2x45_weber]

Hi fellow Mini enthousiasts:)

I am Mark from the Netherlands.
I am in search for a classic (fast) Mini.
I have found one and really like to know what you specialists think about it.

It has run around 24.xxx km and is from 1981.
It has 2x 45 weber, jack knight close ratio straight cut, 74mm omega pistons etc.
It has around 120 BHP.
Complete engine and gearbox work is said around 10.000 euro's.

Askingprice 13.900 euro's.

I see a "crack" in the 8th picture on the right side of the handbrake lever, I dont know if thats common and can do Harm?


Here are some pictures to see:

The exposed body structure by the hand brake doesn't look standard. You'd need to lift the carpets to see what's going on. Not saying it's definitely bad, it could be added bracing, but it might not too.

 

What's been done to remove the rear bumper would also want looking at. Lots of other places to look at too, just because it's a Mini!
