McParland Realty is sadly parting with our beloved tangerine Mini. He has brought us lots of motoring joy, cameraphone pics, beeps and waves from other joyful motorists. His charm is irresistible! He was brought to the US from England and lived a happy, well-maintained life with Ferraris as the designated shop car at Boston Sports Car in Weston.
The exterior is in pretty good shape for the age with a little bit of rust in spots. The paint is great, a bright, vibrant, red-orange. Hella fog lights and the straight pipe dual tip exhaust are an nod to his rally heritage. 10” MiniLite wheels are in great shape and so are the Yokohama tires. Our company vinyl will come right off.
Mechanically the car is quite sound with only 67,000 miles. The engine runs well and the 4-speed transmission shifts easily. The front hubs, ball joints and brakes have been recently replaced, and so has the radiator, fan and water pump. The interior is fantastic and features a Walnut dash, Smiths black gauges, and a smaller radius steering wheel with column mounted tachometer. The Mini has recently been appraised by the Auto Appraisal Group at $12,500. The $250 appraisal portfolio will be transferred with ownership to obtain adequate insurance coverage. Priced to sell quickly at $7,500.
