Oh, believe me, I want it!
I don’t suppose you could get your hands on a body shell or a junker? Not that I have the money, but I would love to make a honda k20 mini

and there is no way in hell I would ever cut up a nice car to do it.

Shipping it would cost a fortune... only running cars can be shipped via Ro-Ro which is by far the cheapest way to ship cars abroad... Anything else would have to go in a container and that’s 4 or 5 times more expensive than Ro-Ro

Conveniently I am broke at the moment, because that’s a great looking Mini. Well other than the driver’s seat, but that’s an easy fix, and offset by all the other nice mods (tripod lights, wheels, flares, dash all look great).

I guess I could find barely running car without too much rust for fairly cheap... like 4k$ landed maybe... but at this price don’t expect something too nice :)

I’m broke now, but I’ll be watching this like a hawk to see what the final price is. One of these days this

Yeah I really like too! It’s a beast in the mountain... if you look at the video, around the 1min30 mark, you can hear the Audi trying to keep up with me almost crashing into the guardrail as it understeered lol

Reserve is set to sell... I don’t really sell cars on BaT to make money, more to meet new customers and it’s worked pretty well for now...

Yep, trying to keep up with a Mini in the bends (even a 1000) often ends with a trip to the ditch.

Strange question, but what’s the market like in Japan for German cars?

Done through used car dealers exclusively, so usually more expensive than in the US for regular consumers... Cars have a lot less miles and a lot are actually LHD. Thinking of getting myself an E34 or E39 M5 here as a DD... I’d get it through dealer-only auctions for around 11 or 12k$ with less than 60000 miles... So if you have access to those, you get MUCH better deals than in the states.

I’d get a 1300cc for myself here... I already own a 1000cc in France and the 1300cc is that much nicer to own. That said: Buy my Mini anyway!!

4k isn’t too bad. better than a complete car here in the states anyway. just considering it as one of my options, mostly because it’s the “cheap” option

Wow.. that sounds pretty appealing. I’m having a hard time finding clean old German cars around me, and I’ve been opening up to the idea of importing.

Unfortunately my garage is already full of English cars:
76 TR6
85 XJ6 (latest acquisition)
2013 MINI
Oddly after I was forced (against my better judgement) by reasons to take the 2013 GTI to a quickie oil change place it was leaking more oil than the other 3 combined.
