AI Listing Summary
This is a rare ERA Mini Turbo, one of only 436 produced, finished in British Racing Green with a grey leather interior. Originally delivered to Japan, it has been well-preserved with minimal rust, though it has been converted to a Weber carburettor, it can be reverted easily.
Condition

The car is described as being in very good condition for its age, with little evidence of rust to the bodywork and chassis.

The ERA Mini Turbo is a modified Mini city car that was produced by Engineering Research & Application Ltd.
under the ERA brand name from 1989 to 1991 at Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England.
