If these fiberglass Minis are like the one I saw in the 7 Enterprises bodyshop, they are extremely heavy. Much heavier than a steel panel Mini. Not sure it's worth the weight penalty to avoid rust, unless you plan to drive extensively in the winter in the U.S. rust belt (or maybe park outside next to the ocean.)

if it starts out bad, (not returning your phone calls)  it's bound to continue and end that way.  Consider yourself lucky to not have ended
up with this seller.

Sorry the guy flaked out on you. That would have been a good buy irregardless of engine condition. Perhaps he’s playing a game ... ie trying to see how easy he can get bids so he can increase his price ?

One of 3 Mini building factories in Chile made the bodies from Fibreglass. The other two used steel.

That's definitely a Mini Cord, and FA 1993 for that matter, and it's VERY original.

 

FA stands for Full Aire, and it seems to still have its air con.

 

Now, the car still displays venezuelan plates (rear plate). I doubt this car is currently in Florida. I would walk away.
