You guys are awesome! Thanks for watching out for me! Sooo engine is upgraded/swapped because they converted it to manual tranny. Center gauges are aftermarket, there's a lot of subtle updates and you can absolutely take it for a spin! I find it amusing that it was parked next to a bunch of fire trucks too!
Although maybe not the original motor, that is an A series engine as fitted to the original minis. If it has two extra head fixings (left and right ends) it likely a 1275 cc (78 cu in) motor and looks like it has been tuned. The Kent Cams sticker on the aftermarket, alloy rocker cover plus whatever carb' is lurking under that awful looking air filter suggests that is the case. Although an ancient design they are still used in motor sport and can be tuned to give well over 100 bhp. If it means anything to you, the mini Cooper S won the Monte Carlo Rally 3 times (getting 'fiddled' out of one win by the organisers). The French were always convinced they were cheating somehow!
Mini you won’t regret driving one. I owned a 1966 mini and had a mini van which was engine swapped. Build quality is great they do rust particularly older ones on the channels and pillars and parts an available world wide. Early minis are money but none are now cheap. Engines any are fun even the 998cc but1275 engine is excellent. It’s all power to weight and they corner amazing. The most fun to own but don’t have a crash in one. My brother was in an accident head on at 15 mph the steering wheel went to roof and he nearly lost his head!!
You get some good JDM bargains in the UK mate. And some unlikely vehicles at that. Look up The car zoo (the car warehouse) in Middlesbrough in the UK. You’ll love it!
A woman in our town has a Mini Pickup truck. She uses it on her farm to haul hay & brings it to our local car show yearly. She absolutely loves it & she said build quality is awesome. When she has it at the car show she allows people to sit in it check it out and take pictures.

This is probably what happens to those abandoned cars. I went to a dealer who does jdm imports south of Jackson Ms. I asked how they get their inventory. They state that they buy them in bulk from rejected vehicles people refused to accept at a discounted price. Sounds like those very same vehicles you got at your port.

Defender & Lotus on British plates. The mini Mayfair was either made in 1.0 or 1.3 from 84 to 86 they are a British Leyland mini. From launch in 59 company had many different names I worked for them when Rover 91 to 05. The Red 1 I'm guessing it's a later car the very last were all 1.3 & either just a mini or a mini cooper. In Top gear when Clarkson Hammond & May went to India Hammond's mini was 1 of the very last. The Canvas Convertible Jimny from launch 99 to 09 all Convertibles we're made by Santana for Suzuki . Santana also made all Suzuki Samurai & Vitara Convertibles & also Landrover Series & defender models. They are a Spanish contract car manufacturer same as Nedcar in the Netherlands building all mini models but not Hatch that's made here in England & same as Magna Steyr in Austria making Mercedes G-wagons A-class & BMW Z4 & Toyota Supra .
Sorry, but Mendy's Midget is better. The cargo is just better. It has more use. I mean, where would you put groceries and such? I mean, it's still a Midget and I would love to have it, but the other is better. Can you install something to lower the window on the left? You didn't show the Viewt? Ah... Looking forward to new content! Also, you should link to the other people that are selling what they get at the port. I saw you went 110 km on the Midget. Is that sustainable? Oh, can you imagine making the Midget turbo !?!? :D :D :D
Today I learned that Ohio will accept later model Kei trucks. They have a special category for them. No telling if other states will take an Ohio title. My experience with California was I couldn’t buy an out of state vehicle and register it there but if someone moved to CA they could bring their “illegal” vehicles in and later sell them. I’ll bet those late models are going to Ohio. You can’t “pop the hood” on a Mini. It’s called the bonnet.
Is the midget 4wd? The truck part is kinda cool, I will try to contact you when I an ready to get a k truck see if your can help me out. Want a sanbar bad money will be with in the next 2 months, realy enjoying the content keepnupbthe grind
Minis are a big deal. Most are rotten. Parts availsability is great, because they are a HUGE deal in Britain. The 'Mayfair' is a special one. Minis are a total thrill to drive. Drive a Mini, and you'll never be satisfied with driving a Kei car again. The red car is a Pugeot', a French car that's built like a tank, rides like a dream, and was used in African rallying,.

Siiiiick mini, hope she's fun to ride in when you get it
Gotta let me drive it around the block!
The red and white Mini Cooper is perfect.

Red Mini is sick. Very clean.

Those two AMGs are very rare, especially that AMG wagon.
I would've had no idea
The midget with the cover on the back is super cool, utilitarian
Great car!
