What fuel crisis?
Dan Stoughton shows off his 1970 Austin Mini Cooper in the parking lot of the Sahuarita Safeway. The British-made subcompact, which took Dan four months to fully restore, has a 72 horsepower, 1275 cc motor, and cruises effortlessly at 75 mph on the freeway. This is the 12th Mini restored by the Tulsa, Okla. native who relocated to Southern Arizona a year ago. According to Stoughton, a pilot and flight instructor for Tiffin Aviation of Nogales, his head-turning tiny coupe gets 35 mpg.
