Used 1965 Austin Mini for sale in Crete, Illinois
Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this 1965 Austin Healy Mini Cooper. This right hand drive Mini is an absolute riot to speed around town thanks to a rev-happy 1275cc inline 4-cylinder. Though it doesnt make a lot of horsepower, the low weight of around 1300lbs means it still has plenty of pep. the 4-speed manual transmission gives positive feedback as you cycle through the gears, and the engine loves to scream all the way to redline. the Austin started life as a left hand drive import model and spent its earlier life in California. It was only transported to the midwest in the last few years after the transformation to a right hand drive Cooper S tribute was completed. A performance header and twin-carburetor set up helps put a little more oomph into this little pocket rocket. Anyone driving this would be hard-pressed to stop yourself from smiling constantly. The Mini was repainted this beautiful silver with a black roof, and the interior was completely gone through with an updated interior, a John Cooper Works steering wheel, and a set of recovered Recaro seats in the front. A Chrome roll bar in the interior adds to the racecar feel you get while pushing the tachometer to the redline. Take this Mini for a spin and have the time of your life!
