1970 Austin Mini

Description

The Mini is an icon for the way it united the British social classes under one car that was versatile and fun, and this 1970 Austin Mini celebrates the best of it all. The exterior has a bright and clean style, but you can also notice a hint of a sporty side with the Cooper-inspired stripes. The fender flares let you fit more substantial Minilite-style wheels that also make room for front disc brakes. The interior also gives you some nice upgrades like later and more comfortable front bucket seats. But it still keeps it classic in the right place, like how the crisp Smiths gauges are still the center focal point inside. Best of all, the mighty motor under the hood is running strong, and so you can experience the fun full package that few people ever got to have in the USA.
