POINT

Rare Carb Cooper in Boys Racer Style

This is a 1300cc carbureted Carb Cooper, sold only for a short period from 1991 to 1992.

From the following year onward, the model switched to fuel injection, making this limited-era version highly sought after even today for combining a powerful 1300cc engine with the enjoyment of a carburetor.

The wide Boys Racer style further enhances the Mini’s original joy of driving.

Transmission Overhaul with High-Precision Japanese Baulk Rings

The transmission will be overhauled using high-precision Japanese parts for the baulk rings, also known as synchro rings, which are key components that greatly affect shift feel.
The parts were developed by Rebirth Drive, a new business from drivetrain specialist Univance Corporation. Drawing on feedback from Rover Mini professional shop mechanics and users, the team incorporated its accumulated know-how, repeated fine adjustments in 1/100 mm increments, and completed the parts through extensive prototyping and verification.

They deliver a smooth, satisfying operation and a shift feel unlike anything before.

6J Overfenders × SSR Speed Star

The suspension is fitted with Speed Star wheels from the long-established wheel brand SSR.
The deep-dish 10-inch design sits perfectly within the wide 6J overfenders, creating a wild yet stylish stance.

Leather-Finished Interior

The interior is tastefully styled in leather, based on the original wood panel.
The door trims have been replaced with new classic-style trims for a refined finish.

The contrast with the red body creates a sharp, mature atmosphere.

Cobra Seats with Headrests

Equipped with Cobra seats with headrests, perfect for enjoying every drive.
Their bucket-style design firmly holds the body, allowing you to fully enjoy the Mini’s nimble handling on winding roads.

Combining sporty looks with functionality, these seats are a perfect match for the Boys Racer style.

Pre-Delivery Maintenance

After arrival, we perform a road test and lift inspection, carrying out checks across approximately 150 items. Based on the results, maintenance is performed according to the selected menu.

For the work, we carefully select high-quality Japanese-made parts and newly developed components, updating the Mini with Japan-level quality.

For vehicles sold overseas, the vehicle price includes both Basic maintenance and the Upgrade Pack.

Basic

Basic Maintenance

Included in the vehicle price

Cooling System

Common to all vehicles

Upgraded to a strengthened cooling system using carefully selected, high-quality Japanese-made parts

Cooling system parts are easily affected by heat and age-related deterioration. When they deteriorate, they can cause coolant leaks, rising water temperatures, and overheating. By replacing and adjusting each component, we restore proper coolant circulation and temperature control.

The Rover Mini was born in the UK, and in Japan’s hot and humid climate the cooling system is easily placed under stress, making overheating more likely. For this reason, Classca upgrades the system using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. Consumables such as a 3-row core radiator and improved or newly developed hoses are replaced.

In addition, the original electric fan thermo switch can vary in operation, so it is replaced with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, activating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at approximately 87 degrees. By keeping the coolant temperature consistent, stable driving performance is maintained even in summer.

The cooling fan blade is also replaced with a reinforced thicker type, as the original blade is thin and easily deforms under heat. This improves the stability of cooling efficiency.

MT Transmission Overhaul

The transmission will be overhauled using high-precision Japanese-made parts for the baulk rings, also known as synchro rings, which are key components that influence shift feel.

The parts were developed by Rebirth Drive, a new business from drivetrain specialist Univance Corporation. Drawing on feedback from Rover Mini professional shop mechanics and users, the team poured in its accumulated know-how, repeated fine adjustments in 1/100 mm increments, and completed the parts through extensive prototyping and verification.

They deliver a smooth, pleasant operation and an unprecedented shift feel.

Suspension

When suspension components deteriorate, driving stability can decrease and noise or vibration can increase. By inspecting each joint, bearing, and suspension component and replacing worn parts, we restore proper suspension movement.

On this vehicle, the lower arm bushes will be replaced. Deterioration of the lower arm bushes can lead to looseness, noise, and reduced driving stability. Removing the deteriorated rubber bushes and replacing them with new ones stabilizes suspension movement.

Upgrade

Upgrade Pack

Included in the vehicle price

In addition to Basic maintenance, this package includes preventive repairs and maintenance, as well as upgrades using performance-enhancing parts developed in Japan. It is designed to finish the car in a condition that can be driven with greater peace of mind for many years.

Suspension

Rear hub bearings: The rear hub bearings will be replaced. Bearing wear can cause noise from the rear and increased rotational resistance. Disassembly and servicing are performed, and new bearings are installed to restore rear wheel rotation performance.

Radius arms: The radius arms will be overhauled. Worn internal bearings and bushes can lead to noise, left-right alignment differences, and instability while driving. The arms are disassembled, internal parts are replaced, and grease is applied to restore smooth movement.

Radius arm bushes and bearings: The radius arm bushes and bearings will be replaced. When internal consumable parts deteriorate, arm movement worsens and affects ride comfort and stability. The relevant parts are replaced with new ones to restore normal rotational movement.

Front shock absorbers: The front shock absorbers will be replaced. When shocks deteriorate, vibrations become harder to control and ride comfort and stability decrease. Replacing them with new parts restores proper control of front wheel movement.

Rear shock absorbers: The rear shock absorbers will be replaced. Deterioration can increase bouncing and wandering. Replacement restores rear stability and ride comfort.

Other

Arm bracket, radius arm

Drivetrain and Undercarriage

Inner CV joint boots: The inner CV joint boots will be replaced. Deteriorated boots that protect the inner joints can cause grease leakage and wear. New boots are installed to protect the drivetrain.

Diff side oil seals: The differential side oil seals will be replaced. Deteriorated seals can cause transmission oil leaks. Replacing the seals restores proper sealing.

Engine mounts MT: The engine mounts will be replaced. Deteriorated rubber increases engine movement and vibration. New mounts stabilize the engine support.

Clutch master inner kit: The clutch master inner kit will be replaced with a quality aftermarket part. Deteriorated internal seals can cause hydraulic leaks, so the unit is disassembled and consumable parts are replaced to restore function.

Master base gasket: The master base gasket will be replaced. Deterioration can cause hydraulic leaks and affect clutch or brake operation. The part is replaced to restore sealing.

Rod pin & snap pin S: The rod pin and snap pin S will be replaced. Wear and deterioration can cause looseness and play at the fixing point, so the parts are replaced to maintain proper fastening.

Hose & gasket: The hose and gasket will be replaced. To prevent hydraulic leaks caused by deterioration, replacement restores sealing.

Clutch fluid: The clutch fluid will be replaced. Moisture absorption and deterioration can make hydraulic transmission unstable and affect clutch operation. New fluid restores hydraulic transmission to proper condition.

Clutch overhaul Borg & Beck: The clutch will be overhauled. Worn clutch components are disassembled, replaced, and reassembled to restore clutch function.

Clutch plunger: The clutch plunger will be replaced. Wear and deterioration can make clutch operation unstable and cause an abnormal feel or poor disengagement, so replacement restores smooth operation.

Release lever: The release lever will be replaced. Wear and deformation can make clutch operation unstable and cause poor disengagement or an abnormal operating feel, so replacement restores proper movement.

Push rod: The push rod will be replaced. Wear or bending can make clutch operation unstable and cause poor disengagement or an abnormal operating feel, so replacement restores proper movement.

Rod pin L: The rod pin L will be replaced. Wear and deterioration can cause looseness and play at the fixing point, so replacement maintains proper fastening.
