Used Leyland Mini for Sale near Windsor, QC

This was probably the car that had the best road holding capabilities of all the cars I have owned. It wasn't all that fast (stock) but once it was bored from a 1000cc to a 1175cc it was potent. Add to that a 38/42 Weber carburettor, banana branches and free flow exhaust system and you had a mean combination for such a small lightweight car. Bigger 6 cylinder cars didn't have a patch on it in a street race when cornering and short straights were involved.

My first car, and so glad I bought. You want to learn how to drive in the hills quickly with a FWD car, the mini is perfect! Not enough power to get you into serious trouble, but enough torque and lack of weight to enable you to go as fast as much more powerful cars, esp on the downhill :D

I bought the mini for AU$100 from a friend. It was my first car and the driver's side door had been wired shut as it had been in an accident. Originally the paint was probably gold, but it had faded to a sort of mustardy colour by the time I got it. It looked even better after I replaced the driver's side door with a bright orange one! The car handled really well and a sports exhaust made it sound faster than it really was. It was a laugh to drive. In the wet you could get it sideways on a roundabout! Probably the most economical car I've ever owned and possibly the most fun!

What I can say? She was my first car ... my first love you could say. Love of driving that is. Great handling, build quality not so great (gotta love the electricals - Lucas, Prince of Darkness haha).

Great little car, goes well, handles well and fun to drive.
