Looks like i`m going to have to sell my V8 Kombi Bay duel cab 78 model
Needs the horn fixed, a ball joint is a bit sqeaky/dry & boot torn,,, & it could do with a CV joint or 2 as they`re getting a tiny weeny bit noisy now, can hardly hear it but they`re starting to click,,, But that`s about it.
I`m open to offers but around $22K would be about right, it`s recently had all Albins gears & mainshaft fitted throughout the "Thick-Rib 2L case , with .7:1 overdriven top gear,,, & a Pelquin Limited Slip diff (plaentary gear type) & it`s just beautiful to drive
It`s also been fitted with a 2600Lb BMW clutch with the diaph pivot point changed to be easy on the clutch cable,,,& extra large throw-out bearing,
I`ve also fitted a motha fker thermo fan (3500mtrs/min) but it just doesn`t ever need to be turned on tho, this car runs perfect temp everywhere.
Rear Tyres are just great, heaps of tread & heaps of grip,,, the fronts are getting low-ish, would still pass rwc tho i`d say
The Lexus quad cam Alloy V8 engine is just beautiful, smooth as a babys bottom & plenty of grunt... & is surprisingly cheap to run being injected... there`s a custom fab-d alloy fuel tank, pressed Alloy computer designed & cut drop sides & tail gate (very nice) it`s also go alloy checker plate tray cover, bull-bar, spot lights, tow bar, radio/CD player, Rhino roof racks nice appolstery, all round it`s a pretty clean & tidy car.
In case you don`t know the car,,, here`s a vid of it--->

Mick058 ·
PM me details on the g-box and a price 😉
TheMiniMan ·
yeah Matty,,, it`s a very special car & also very close to my heart, i`ll talk to you soon about it,,, i have hit the bank for an extension on my home load But i don`t hold much hope for a yes from them, i would have to actually make some money for them to be happy to lend me any more :-)
I have 2 of my Cooper"S"s for sale also,,, well,,, actully everything is for sale at the moment :-)
Mick,,, i`ll sort something out this week & get back to you,,, But first, do you have a std-ish 2litre kombi gearbox as an exchange so i could keep this thing running "IF" i did split it?
Mick058 ·
I dont have an exchange unit - im currently running a single side plate box. Sorry mate. keep me posted on how you go.
TheMiniMan ·
Well,,, if i sold the gearbox for $5000,,, would someone want the car with a std box for $15,000 ???
don`t forget that this gearbox is All Albins internals,,, & A Peloquin planetary gear type Limited slip diff
Would someone be interested in the car without the motor & box???
TheMiniMan ·
sorry, this car is no longer for sale, am keeping it now :-)
mods can delete this whole topic if you like
thanks for all who were interested, the bank has approved my loan extension :-)
This is the sort of car i`m buying--->
it`s not that exact car but is the same make & model, it`s called a "Mini Marcos GT" uses all mini running gear in fibreglass shell.
