Well not really a "new" mini. It's a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S. The car is in great shape, no rust and a documentation folder that could choke a horse.



First step. I decided was to upgrade the alternator to something with a little more Amps. 1967 came with a dynamo and it was upgraded in 74 to a 35a Lucas alternator, I found a guy in Memphis who can build the alternator to put out 100 amps. Can't wait to get it back and be back on the road.

Just as good. It retains the "soul" with an original engine
