eBay Find: R1 Powered Austin Mini


Austin Mini's came with 55hp from the factory, but that didn't stop them from being an absolute blast to drive. This Mini has it's power problem fixed with a 2003 Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine powering it's front wheels. The seller has been kind enough to post several thorough videos on the auction. We've seen V-TEC Honda swaps in these little cars but this is the first motorcycle swapped one we've seen for sale in the US. Find it here in Silverlake, CA for $33,000 buy-it-now.
