    I have a Mini Mark, great car!! Not many on road anymore, and not many were built

    I have a Mini Mark, just like the one featured, I’m trying to replace the side mirrors, but I can’t seem to find them. Can anyone help, it is on a 1978 VW Chassis

    Where can I find more information on this car? Can’t seem to find much (and from what I understand there’s maybe only 50 of these around anymore). I have a neighbor who will give me one, but its been sitting for years and probably needs a ton of work to run again.

      Hey Aric,

      Unfortunately you would just have to source the parts you might need. If the car is complete and just needs engine work you could have a fun car. As far as how many are around, they are just like any other kit car. I see people list the Bradley GT as rare but I currently own 2 and had another years ago. Most people do not know what the production numbers for these cars were to start with. If you can feel free to send us over a few photos and let us see it.

      Thanks
      Donnie

        From what he has told me, it ran fine when it was parked. But its been sitting in his backyard for something like 20 years.. its got a tarp over it, and that’s all I can see of it. I plan on rescuing it in the next week or so. Considering its just a VW type 1 chassis it shouldn’t be any issue getting parts, rebuilding engine or carb or whatever it needs.

        I will definitely chronicle my experience. :)

          Anybody know about registering these kinds of cars in California? I should be taking this car home in a week, I officially purchased it now, I have the pink slip. It has not been registered since 1985! That should be before the Planned Non Operation law in CA so I don’t think I will be assessed penalties for 27 years.. :) Considering how long its been, I wonder if I can start from scratch with registration and if so, can I get away with registering it by the year of the chassis/engine and if that would be before 1975? Isn’t this car based on a 1972 type 1 chassis?

          • admin April 18, 2012 at 12:16 am

            I personally have no idea how to do it in cali. Here in Florida is a pretty simple. What does your title say it is?

          • aric caley April 18, 2012 at 3:48 pm

            title says its a ’79. Mileage is around 22K. I don’t think just registering it should be an issue, however I am worried about smog. I assume it does not have a catalytic converter on it. I will have to pass smog to register it (the cut off date is 1975, and thanks to our former governernator Arnold that date wont be changing).

            I don’t think the engine will require a rebuild, however I did plan on doing a rebuild to get the most MPG out of it (and a little more performance, but mostly for MPG).

          • admin April 18, 2012 at 3:55 pm

            Man I just do not know enough about Smog and such their. There are tons of VWs on the road in CA so why would yours be any different? Dont know, just asking.

          • aric caley April 18, 2012 at 4:33 pm

            Yeah, good point. Properly tuned it should probably pass like any other ’79 bug would. I will chronicle my experience. Should be interesting. :)

    I hope you can help me. My father died and left me a Mini Mark. At one time he had a ragtop on it. But so one cut so he put the hardtop back on and that was last anyone saw the ragtop. I am looking for a rag top. also the inside door was cut and someone tried to fix it with duck tape of all things. Its a great car I really want to get it back into classic shape can you help? Where can I find another rag top? thanks

    I also have a Mini like the one pictured. Many parts replaced in the last 4 years. Does anyone have any real numbers as to how many bodies were molded ?
    I have read that there are not many good one around.
    Would be nice to get a close count.Last I heard the molds were sold to a company out East and are in
    storage. Anyone have any other info ?

    • Tim June 3, 2012 at 11:54 pm - Reply

      From what I have learner the cars. Were built in Bremen Indiana. In the early 80’s the plant burnt and shortly after the company went bankrupt. The owner is still alive but wontanswer mail or calls about the cars. I get different numbers of how many are still around (I have traced around 20). Anyone interested in starting an owners club?

      • Scott September 23, 2012 at 4:55 am - Reply

        I just bought a Mini Mark, hoping to drive it home (about 5 miles) tomorrow! Any luck on starting a club?

        I have a Mini Mark also it is on a 1969 VW chassis. I did find out that they made 100 of them. I have heard that there are about 50. My dad gave it to me, he lives in Butler Indiana. Mine is in great condition, all the extras on it. It has a removable hard top. It would be nice to start some kind of club or something

            Just bought one and will be driving it from Miami to western NC this weekend. Current owner does not have any owners manual, or technical documentation other than it’s on a 1982 VW chassis. Anybody have, or know where to get owners manual? I think an owners club or some type of on-line group would be great. This forum may serve the purpose for the short term.

    I have a titled 1982 Breamen Mini Mark that is in great condition. The wife and I have a lot of fun driving it,getting looks and comments.It has both tops and the car is,for the most part all original.A Mini Mark club would be an exalent idea and I would join it in a heart beat! I’ve had the car for 4 years and as far as I know Im the 3rd owner.I live in Ohio and only drive it 3 to 4 months out of the year on nice days.A list of the cars and the states were they’re being driven would be of interist to me. I’m hopping my car is one of the 100 known existing to be on the road today. Will watch all replies…

    I have a friend that has a 1982 Bremen Sport Mini Mark.
    This car is in mint condition. Everything works and it has 32000 miles on it. He is wanting to sell it and is not sure what kind of a price to place on it. It does have alllllll the bells and whistles on it. It also has the hard top as well as the soft top and the complete sitting area cover. This is a really nice car but my friend is wanting to sell it. It is hard for him to get in and out of this vehicle. It has the Gold metalflake paint because he was a shriner in Denver many years ago. It has always been garaged. It is far more beautiful that the yellow one at the top of this page. But any way, if anyone can help me, in a mint condition, what is this car worth. I can take pictures and email them to anyone who wants to see it. You may call me at 928-772-9363 or you can email me. God bless and thank you for any help.
    John

    Hello,
    Currently my father and I have been getting my grandfathers car running again preparing it to sell. Its a 73 Mini Mark believe it may have possibly been on of the original Shriner cars. My grandfather was the 2nd owner of the car and used it in local parades with the shrines up until about 10 years ago when his health went down hill.

      Hey There. Well as you know they are pretty much worth what you are willing to pay . I have seen Mini Marks for as low as $2000 and I have seen pie in the sky numbers as high as $20,000 .

    WOW. I feel like a crook now. i purchased an 81 mini mark for $800. rebuilt the carb, brakes, and cleaned it up. and now it looks like itd be worth at least 10 times that. I really would like to know some more history about what happened to the company. and possibly a number of cars manufactured?
