A Rover Mini. Funny  enough, for sale at Japanese Classics. Love the color. Not sure about the Rover part though.

My wife and I love these. One is definitely on the list. I even considered a few Austin/Morris coopers before I landed on my recent 02. I’m with you about Rover though. I know the least about Rover mini’s. That is a fantastic color!

Mainly just posted it because of where it was for sale. Hardly ever see any non Japanese imports from there. Plus I like the color. Too small for me though.

I know Flavien has been shipping a couple of Mini’s, maybe this one might be one of his...?

Is this an import or one of the BULs? (Built Under License.) The Japanese loved to license popular cars and build them in-country. (See also, Mitsubishi Jeeps.)

Yep, I know a couple years ago they had an amazing looking Lancia Fulvia that I wanted badly. I think they import an LR  Defender every now and then too.

I was thinking the same thing.

I really like the wheels ; I have not seen that design on a Mini before.

Rover is who made the Minis in their later life.

The company we once knew as Austin had a lot of names through the later half of the 20th century. Names that consisted of but not limited to: Austin, Morris, Austin, B ritish Motor Corporation , British Motor Holdings , British Leyland, Leyland Motor Corporation, British Leyland Motor Corporation, Rover , MG Rover Group and MG Motor.

I know, I meant not sure about the Rover part from a quality standpoint.

Most nice ones I see go for sale for at least 12k, so I say NP

Gotcha.

I can’t imagine them being any better or worse than any of the rest of them.
