POINT

The highly popular 1300cc carbureted “Carb Cooper”

This is a 1300cc carbureted “Carb Cooper,” sold only in 1991.

From the following year onward, the model switched to fuel injection, making this a rare model from a very limited period that combines the power of a 1300cc engine with the enjoyment of a carburetor. It remains highly popular among Mini enthusiasts today.

12-inch wheel suspension setup

The car is fitted with classic 8-spoke 12-inch wheels. The red line on the rim, matching the interior, adds an accent to the black body and gives it a sporty impression.

The easy handling unique to the original-size 12-inch setup is also part of its appeal.

Simple dashboard with center meter

Equipped with the popular center meter that lets you enjoy the classic Mini atmosphere. The simple, clean dashboard highlights the Mini’s original light and classic character.

Interior equipped with air conditioning

An interior equipped with air conditioning, making it easier to enjoy even in summer.

Cooling System

Common to all vehicles

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

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

The Rover Mini was born in the UK, and in Japan’s hot and humid environment, the cooling system is placed under heavy load and tends to overheat more easily. For this reason, Classca upgrades the system using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. Components such as a 3-core radiator and newly developed or improved hoses and other consumables are replaced.

In addition, the factory thermo switch for the electric fan tends to have inconsistent operation, so it is replaced with a Japanese-made sensor. This enables stable control, operating at approximately 92 to 95 degrees and stopping at approximately 87 degrees, keeping coolant temperature consistent and maintaining stable driving performance even in summer.

Furthermore, the cooling fan blade is replaced with a reinforced, thicker type because the factory blade is thin and easily deforms due to heat, improving the stability of cooling efficiency.

When suspension components deteriorate, driving stability may decrease and noise or vibration may increase. Each joint, bearing, and suspension component is inspected, and worn parts are replaced to restore proper suspension movement.

Parts planned for replacement Classca-selected parts
  • Tie rod end
  • Rack boots

Brakes

Wear and age-related deterioration can cause reduced braking performance or abnormal noise. Worn parts are replaced to restore proper brake operation.

Japanese-made rubber cups are used for the rear wheel cylinders as a countermeasure to reduce brake fluid leakage compared with genuine parts.

In addition to basic maintenance, this menu includes preventive repairs and maintenance as well as upgrades using performance-improving parts developed in Japan. It is designed to finish the vehicle in a condition that can be enjoyed with greater peace of mind for many years.

Suspension

Lower arm bushes
The lower arm bushes are replaced. Deterioration of the lower arm bushes can lead to looseness in the suspension, abnormal noise, and reduced driving stability. By removing the deteriorated rubber bushes and replacing them with new parts, suspension movement is stabilized.
Tension rod bushes
The tension rod bushes are replaced. When the tension rod bushes deteriorate, the vehicle may feel unstable under braking and straight-line stability may decrease. The aged rubber parts are replaced with new ones to keep fore-aft movement properly controlled.
Rear hub bearings
The rear hub bearings are replaced. Bearing wear can cause noise from the rear and rotational resistance. The assembly is disassembled and serviced, and new bearings are installed to restore proper rear-wheel rotation.
Suspension joints
The suspension joints are replaced. Worn joints can cause looseness and abnormal noise in the suspension, reducing driving stability. The deteriorated joint components are removed and replaced with new parts to restore smooth movement.
Radius arms
The radius arms are overhauled. When the bearings and bushes inside the radius arms wear, it can lead to abnormal 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.
Rubber cones
The rubber cones are replaced with Alex Moulton AVON DO-spec rubber cones. These high-performance rubber cones are based on joint development by Alex Moulton, which has developed rubber suspension since the BMC era, and AVON Rubber, with further testing and improvements carried out in Japan.

Other

  • Rebound rubbers

Drivetrain and Undercarriage

Inner CV joint boots
The inner CV joint boots are replaced. Deterioration of the boots that protect the inner joints can cause grease leakage and wear. They are replaced with new parts to protect the drivetrain components.
Subframe mounts FS
The front subframe mounts are replaced. Deteriorated rubber can cause vibration and looseness. Replacing the mounts restores proper fixation between the body and frame.
Subframe mounts RS
The rear subframe mounts are replaced. Because age-related deterioration can reduce body stability, the rubber mounts are replaced to suppress vibration.
Engine mounts MT
The engine mounts are replaced. Deteriorated rubber can increase engine movement and vibration. New mounts are installed to stabilize engine support.

Other

  • Frame shims
  • Shift metal bush stick

Exhaust System

Manifold gasket
The manifold gasket is replaced. To prevent exhaust leaks from the connection area, the gasket is replaced to ensure proper sealing.
Branch exhaust
The branch exhaust is replaced. Deterioration of the pipe that gathers the exhaust gases can cause leaks and reduced performance, so it is replaced to restore exhaust efficiency.
Flexible exhaust tube
The flexible exhaust tube is replaced. Deterioration of the vibration-absorbing section can cause cracks and leaks, so it is replaced to properly absorb vibration.
Joint pipe
The joint pipe is replaced. Deterioration or corrosion at the connection can cause exhaust leaks, so it is replaced with a new part to restore the exhaust passage.

Engine Area

Chain case gasket
The chain case gasket and oil seal are replaced. Deterioration can cause oil leaks, so the area is disassembled and the seals are replaced to restore proper sealing.

Other

  • Chain case oil seal

Fuel System

The carburetor is overhauled. Internal dirt and deterioration of consumable parts can disturb fuel mixture settings, so the carburetor is disassembled, cleaned, fitted with replacement parts, and reassembled.

Other

  • Fuel hose
  • Hose bands
  • Carbon blasting
  • Needle jet

Brakes

Caliper seal kit (12-inch)
The caliper seal kit is replaced. Deterioration of the internal seals can cause malfunction, so the calipers are disassembled and the seals are replaced to restore function.
Caliper split seals
The caliper split seals are replaced. To prevent leakage from the split section, the seals are replaced to restore proper sealing.
Stainless pistons
Because the original steel pistons are prone to rust, they are replaced with stainless-steel pistons. Deterioration or sticking of the pistons can impair brake movement, so replacement restores smooth operation.
Pads (12-inch) Borg & Beck
The brake pads (12-inch / Borg & Beck) are replaced. Wear and age-related deterioration can cause reduced braking performance and abnormal noise, so they are replaced with high-quality new Borg & Beck pads to improve braking stability.
Rotors (12-inch)
The rotors are replaced. Wear or warping can reduce braking performance, so replacement ensures stable braking force.
Retaining pins
The retaining pins are replaced. Age-related deterioration and wear can reduce the holding force of the brake pads and cause abnormal noise, so new pins are installed to ensure proper retention and stable brake operation.
