Thanks for all the info guys. So unfortunately he doesnt want to sell the truck and when he did elude to the possibility I realized it was way out of my league $20-30k..I may see if he will drop a couple grand off the Morris. Juneau is sort of a unique town as everything has too come in by ocean barge or Jet since you cannot drive there from the lower 48 or anywhere else for that matter..The fact that there is even another Mini in Juneau is astounding let alone one for sale. He definitely has a bit of an advantage here in that aspect...

I think it is overpriced. For that money, it should almost be turnkey, IMHO. I do like the color, but that's about it...

I'm telling you, forget the Mini and buy the truck! Much better investment. Mini is overpriced, but a pickup in that price range and condition is good!

I would think the moisture has taken a heavy toll, so the price does seem high.

Imagine what it was like driving to Alaska in an 850 mini!
Oh, it is RHD, probably got there by ship. Carry on.

Looks pretty much stock MK2, just kinda left unloved for some time. Will take some work to get the hydraulics going again. Also, is the hydro bags good? That would be my concern. Also, what's going on with the pickup? I'd scarf that up and forget the MK2 Mini. JMHO

So much to my excitement I stumbled across this 69 Morris MK2 Super Deluxe in pretty decent condition. Chassis # A2S6. 663403..It has an 850 in it and I am told it runs. The body is in fairly good condition especially the floor. Has the Magic Wand and still has the hydrolastic suspension. Interior is intact but mold has taken its toll but may clean up...Since the recent purchase of our 68 Cooper" I have learned a lot and tried my best to educate myself on what to look for in originality. Does anyone see anything in pics that would otherwise say it wasn’t? I do think the bonnet emblem is wrong though. Any ballpark ideas on value? I know that’s a wild card but anything would be appreciated. He wants $8-9 as is.. K
