Seen here is our 1990 Morris Mini Mayfair that I bought from Flavien, and imported from Japan, sitting in front of our 2005 Cooper S. My wife was thrilled. I still have some things to do to get it registered. Nothing huge.

Awesome car! Is it going to get some stripes, to go with the ones on the newer Cooper S?

Also, I’ve heard JDM Minis are among the quirkier ones, with all kind of unique things compared to European ones.

We are probably go No to do something with stripes or get it wrapped in a solid color. Haven’t decided yet.

There are a few odd details that we have come across so far, but nothing too crazy.

Depends how they get restored, but otherwise, this one is very normal... This other 1300 was restored in a racy kind of way that is pretty awesome. Sold it a couple weeks ago.

I don’t know if I needed to see that. ;). Cool looking car and a 1300 to boot. Maybe next time.

Haha, don’t worry it was quite a bit more expensive than yours ;)
