VTEC-Powered AWD 1966 Austin Mini Super Deluxe 5-Speed

The vehicle in question is a distinctive 1966 Austin Mini Super Deluxe, manufactured in the heart of the '60s automotive era. Despite its vintage origin, this Mini has been thoughtfully modified for the modern driver. Powered by a robust and responsive Honda B-series inline-four engine displacing 1.8 liters, it delivers agile performance, thanks to VTEC technology from the same marque that brought us the iconic Civic Type R. But the surprises don't stop there; this Mini has been further enhanced with a Honda all-wheel-drive system for added grip and control on varying road conditions. This classic Mini wears Fortech fender flares, subtly hinting at its widened track and reinforced stance. It rides on coilovers with tubular front and rear independent suspensions, ensuring responsive handling that belies the car's nearly six decades of age. The driver enjoys precision shift responses via a five-speed manual transaxle, all within an extensively strengthened environment provided by a roll cage. The engine's health is closely monitored through Hondata control, backed up by an efficient aluminum radiator to manage heat dissipation. Exterior ceramic-coated headers whisper out the spent gases from this Honda-powered Mini, while inside, comfort and safety coexist courtesy of the Super Deluxe's original amenities blended with contemporary upgrades like a roll cage. This unique vehicle is currently based in Mentor, Ohio.
