Is that before they moved the dizzy? My father-in-law had an old mini and it would stop working every time it rained. The distributor was located in front of everything and low to the ground and would short out constantly in wet weather. He used to open it up and pack it with vasoline every time he filled up the tank... lol
Catbird:
THe thing about those silly little cars is that just the slightest horsepower makes them *stupidly* fast.
I would drive that in a heartbeat. Though I would probably have to take the front seats out and sit in the back.
THough, every time I see one, I'm overcome with the urge to put a recliner on top.

they never moved the dizzy, the late ones just got elctronic ignition! haha. A lot of people put weather shields on them to prevent that issue. since it never really rains in malta, I don't have to worry about it much.
The long awaited video is finally up after nearly a year. took a few hours to process everything, but finally got it done since I'm back from school now. more videos soon.
