For sale: 1975 Leyland Mini "S" 998cc. Selling without RWC.

Price: $3000 ono and willing to swap for a late 80's or early 90's Honda (Prelude, Integra, Accord etc)

Reason for sale: Was to be a project car to work on over the next couple of years, unfortunately my daily driver was written off and I need to sell this to finance a replacement. If you're looking for a fast car, this is definitely not for you :banana:

Condition: The Mini is in good condition for its age, there are a few dents but very little rust. The passanger side will need a little work and paint. It starts easily and drives well. It passed a roadworthy in November last year and has done about 4000k's since.

For a roadworthy it will need a few things. It needs two new front tyres and a camber adjustement, it has an oil leak (where the selector shaft goes in to the gearbox), there is a small hole in the exhaust (which could be fixed quite easily, the rest of the exhaust/muffler/headers are all fine), it will need the wheel arches attached (a brand new set of 4 are included), the headlights have stopped working so the bulbs may be blown or possibly a fuse(??), there is a shudder when the clutch reaches the friction point when taking off.

The following were replaced in October of last year:

All new Bilstein suspension

New hi-lo's

New radiator

Larger LS petrol tank installed

5 new Falken tyres (the fronts now have camber wear and need to be replaced)

Also included in the sale are:

A Moutney leather steering wheel

All new carpet and clip set from minisport.com.au ($190)

4 new plastic wheel arches from minisport.com.au ($215)

New selector shaft oil seal from minisport.com.au

Location: Bayswater North, Victoria

Contact: 0415 724 621

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
