We are shipping a container of 6 classic Minis from Christchurch, New Zealand to Nashville, Tennessee.  They are all rust-free & great-running.  Being that these cars are from New Zealand, they are all right-hand-drive & over 25 years old.  The Minis are traveling in a 40-foot container from New Zealand to Savannah, GA; and from there, will be put on a train to Nashville, TN.  They should arrive sometime at the end of February 09.  Once we look at the cars, we will set a price & list them for sale.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me at ben@rocketown.org.

Our first load of parts

My nephew, a co-worker and I drove this big rig from Nashville TN through some of the prettiest scenery America has to offer.  Our journey ended in Boone NC where we bought a rather large collection of MINIS and parts.  I will sort everything this weekend and start selling the individual pieces.  I will have pictures posted on this blog this weekend with some prices. They are in the Vintage Classic Garage.  This is an extensive collection with some great performance pieces for your MINI.  Email me if you have specific parts you need and I will see what we can do.  ben@rocketown.org  THE RACE CARS YOU SEE HERE ARE NOT FOR SALE, THEY ARE IN GOOD HANDS.

Are you as excited as we are?!?

Here they are!!--Being loaded into a forty-foot container on a beautiful Saturday in the middle of Summer, in the Garden City of Cristchurch New Zealand.  Don't they look like they can't wait to get in the container to move to the USA!  It is a long tedious process to carefully pack these cars. 

Which one is your favorite?  Feel free to leave a comment.  The KIWIS are also including some spares in the deal.  Along with the six MINIS, they have packed some roll-up doors, carbs, bumpers, some wheels and tires, LCB exhaust extractors, and a fresh 1275 engine and transmission. 

Please scroll down and look at all the cars on both pages.  Click HERE

Vintage Classic Garage


This is where the Minis will be stored when they arrive.  This is Carl's Garage.  Please scroll down and look at the cars on both pages.  Please leave comments about what you want to see more of.

1275 engine


There is also a 1275 engine that will be included in the container.  He says it runs very strong.
Scroll down the page to see the minis we are offering.

Setting Prices

We will not set prices until we see the cars.  We don't know for sure what condition they are in, pictures only tell a part of the story.  We are car enthusiasts, and we want to make sure everyone is getting a great car at a great price.  Thank you for your interest.  Keep watching the blog because we will have pictures of the cars being loaded in the container soon.

1972 Austin Mini 1000cc

This is a 1972 Austin Mini.  It has alloy wheels, sport steering wheel, good paint, and I will put a new interior in it.  What goes with Lime Green?  Corona Gold.  I love movie links of people having fun with Minis.  If you are not having fun in a mini, check your pulse.  Click Here.
