1964 Austin Mini Pickup
From 1961-1969, 58,179 pickups were made under the Morris/Austin brand names, making this a very rare variant considering the 5+ million mini sedans and other models. This particular 1964 truck was at some point exported to (or originally from) South Africa, then to the United Kingdom in the 70s, and then eventually came to the United States. It has undergone various modifications over time, but much of it is original. Sporting the very rare roll up ‘Aussie’ windows and a modern drivetrain, this can be whatever the new owner wants it to be, e.g. a daily driver or just be used for the occasional mini meet up – either way it should be reliable. While it has a modern Honda fuel injected motor and subframe, all of the rest of the components are mini (suspension, hubs, brakes, etc.) and thus the new owner can decide to go back to the original 1275 engine that was in it without too much hassle (but why would you!).
This has been a daily driver for me, particularly in 2023/24 and with a bit of TLC/body/paint and installation of the many parts I have (see below), would be an extremely nice example of a rare British classic with no expense spared on the quality of parts used in this build.
Clean, California title in hand. Price negotiable.

Whole box of extra bits!
Things that can be improved upon:
Tach does not work (needs to be rewired)
Body/paint
Engine tune (runs well, but a little rich on acceleration and needs cold start adjustment) as a lot of additional parts were added after the original tune, but runs perfectly after warm up.
Small oil leak (think it is the oil pressure sender, but it is not the oil pan/head/etc.), easy fix if you have access to a lift or time, which I don’t!
Door handles sag, but have most if not all parts to fix included
Interior to be customized by new owner
Cosmetic stuff here and there
Think that is it!
And probably a whole bunch of other parts/things I have done that I forgot about!
