Hi folks,
Just purchased a Mini Miami.The plate states Mini SS 8/76. I am lead to believe that there was only 500 of these made? Also the conversion to a soft top intrigues me were there many Miami Convertibles made or converted. This sounds like a rare little car.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Jim.

The mini maimi was converted by Mini & Moke world in Sydney, They have a bad reputation around the traps, bad workmanship & generally shonky. If you want my honest advice, sell it ASAP.

These comments are my opinion only, others may share them.

Hi,
Not the advice I was hoping for, I am not impressed withthe spray job, but the engineers report gives it a clean bill of health. The buy price means that I should lose money on it in the long term.

Thanks for the advice,

Jim.
