1980 Mini Cooper

Description

This car is a dedication to the well-loved sport of drifting that was rooted in Japan. Capitalizing on a new-found love-affair, The first Tokyo Auto Salon was born. The Auto club was also responsible for organizing the D1 Grand Prix->ke3353, the first organized car drifting series in Japan est. 2001. This gave life to car clubs across Japan, creations like the mini cooper began to flourish, This particular vehicle has the steering wheel on the American side which created high demand for the vehicle.
My mini cooper adventure began through a promoter in Japan who operated one of these car clubs. I am a massive fan of Ken Hoonigan, and I wanted to create my own Hoonicorn. Between coordinating its Trans Atlantic travel to Alaska Boat freight and getting a commercial freight flight from Alaska to Honolulu, to a one last short travel across the islands the odyssey took 6 months. I didn't know what to expect the anticipation blew my mind upon opening the freight box and the car was in incredible shape and was road ready! -
Over the last two years a lot of things have changed. I have acquired my own Garage which means a lot of these babies have to go! Which is a great deal for you!
I want this to go to a collector and someone who will actually take it out, and use it for what it was intended for.
