POINT

1970s Classic Mini “MK-3” Style

This is a popular fenderless, 10-inch-wheel style. Its clean, light appearance—true to the Mini’s origins—brings out the car’s original charm.

The side markers are also classic Lucas-type units.

MK-3 Two-Color Tail Lamps

Compared with the MK-1 and MK-2, the MK-3 style is characterized by a cleaner design.
In addition to the neatly fitted two-color tail lamps, it uses the same type of license lamp as later models.

Interior Coordinated in Toffee

To match the Old English White exterior, the interior is unified with brown-toned Toffee seats and trim.

Clean Center-Meter Dashboard Panel

A simple, uncluttered dashboard layout that is typical of a Classic Mini.
Only the iconic center meter is fitted, creating a clean and straightforward design.

Basic

Basic Maintenance

Included in the vehicle price

Cooling System / Water-Related Components

Common to all vehicles

Updated to a reinforced cooling-system specification 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 coolant 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 placed under heavy load, making the car more prone to overheating. For this reason, Classca improves performance using carefully selected Japanese-made parts. We replace consumable components such as a three-core radiator, improved parts, and newly developed hoses.

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, operating at approximately 92–95°C and stopping at around 87°C, helping keep coolant temperature consistent and maintaining stable driving even in summer. The original cooling fan blades are also thin and prone to deformation from heat, so they are replaced with a reinforced, thicker type to improve cooling efficiency stability.

Suspension

When suspension components deteriorate, driving stability can decrease and noise or vibration can increase. By inspecting joints, bearings, and suspension parts and replacing worn components, we restore the suspension’s movement to proper condition.

For this vehicle, the lower arm bushes and tension rod bushes will be replaced. When these deteriorate, they can cause looseness in the suspension, noise, and reduced stability while driving. Removing the worn rubber bushes and replacing them with new parts stabilizes suspension movement.
