SOLD 3/25/2023 – FOR SALE 3/20/2023 – The ex- Steve Ludwig, ex- Al Beebe Mini trailer. It was built for Steve’s racing Mini by Dick Pena’s neighbor in Burien, who was experienced in building trailers and midget race cars. The title lists it as 1969 HMDE. It qualifies and is registered for intermittent use, therefore, tabs don’t need to be purchased every year. It’s less than 7′ wide on the outside of the fenders so it can be stored in a garage easily. Steve towed it with a VW Beetle(!), Ford Falcon and a Peugeot wagon. Al towed with a Mazda rotary pickup and an F-150 Ford. Would be fine behind a relatively light tow car. Among the lightest functional Mini trailers. It was widened by Al to take the wide 13″ wheels they were using. When I got the trailer from Al, I narrowed it back to regular Mini width and replaced the fenders, tires, and deck surface. I had the entire thing sandblasted and painted and installed new LED lights and a new wire harness! .
I’ve used it for relatively short hauls and it works fine. Al hauled to Westwood, Spokane and Sears Point! Please let me know what other information might be of interest and I’ll try to come up with it. I’m asking $1,500. Thanks, Ted Atkins

SOLD! 3/18/22 – 1976 Morris Mini 1000. It is with much regret that I have decided to part with my Mini. I purchased this Mini from New Zealand in 2002. In the last couple of years I have not driven the car much and I hate to see it just sit and not be enjoyed.
Over the last couple of years I have done a number of upgrades to the car to make it safer and to be able to handle our roads/freeway etc. This Mini has won a number of awards at the Bellevue ABFM, Mini Meet West and Western Washington ABFM and the odometer currently reads 55,400 miles or 89,160km.
Maintenance/upgrades to the Mini include:
Engine
• Stage 1 kit
• 123 Distributor
• Duplex timing chain
• Swift tune SW5 CAM
• Calver Special Tuning Stage 3 unleaded Cylinder head
• New bushings
• New engine mounts
• New water pump, radiator and hoses
Clutch
• New clutch and release bearing
• New master cylinder
• Plastic extension on master cylinder
• New Clutch slave cylinder
• New clutch hose
Suspension
• Hi-Lo adjustable Trumpets
• Road/Rally Cones
• KYB Gas Dampers
• New Knuckle joints
• New bushings
• Tie rods
Brakes
• New master cylinder
• Plastic extension on master cylinder
• New 7.5” front disk brakes
• New wheel cylinders
• New rear shoes complete with springs
• New brake hoses
Interior
• Rokee wood dash
• New carpeting
• Original Biscuit vinyl interior
Exterior
• 5 Cosmic II wheels
• 5 Vredestein Sprint Classic 145HR-10 tires
• Original-color Pimento repaint
The Mini also comes with
• Original steel wheels with trim rings and hub caps
• Original leaded 1000 Cylinder head
• Original Cam
• Original suspension trumpets
• Misc items
The Mini is a majority original Pimento Red color with the left front fender having been repainted before I received the car. The Mini runs and stops very well with no known issues. Also, the Mini is on jack stands this time of year to avoid flat spots on the tires so that is why it looks high off the ground.
This Mini is a great example of one that is mostly stock with a few mods that make it safer and more enjoyable on the road.
I’m asking $12,500.

FOR SALE – Early, hard-to-find parts
Do you need a specific part for your Mini and can’t seem to find it? Chuck Heleker would like to help. If you can tell him what it is that you need, he will do his best to find a NOS or good-condition used example on “The Magic Shelves.” “The Magic Shelves” have been gathering parts for right around 50 years and the parts are mostly for Mk1 through Mk3 Minis (sorry, no center-exit exhausts or headlight eyebrows).
Give Chuck a call. You will find his phone number at the bottom of the home page.
