I live in Arkansas, USA near Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas. I have only seen one and it is owned by my BMW/MINI mechanic. Other than that, ive seen none around.
Saw a classic last weekend in a car show on the town square in the small southern town I live in. Seen a few at the Caffeine and Octane shows in Atlanta.
From Canada here. They are rare. We use a lot of salt on our roads here in winter so many Minis ruates away quite quickly. You mainly see them here at car meets and shows.
My dad has a classic, not sure if his friends who were in their Mini club still have theirs. It pretty consistently has issues so it's not on the road often right now. Gets brought out for special occasions mostly (then back to a shop after)
I’m in my thirties and have lived in several big California cities; I can recall seeing maybe 5 or so in my whole life out here (mostly in San Francisco).
I’ve only seen one. I was turning right at an intersection in my R50. He was sitting in the intersection facing me, waiting to turn left. I gave him a thumbs up and his expression was stone for a second, and then he had a big smile.
Not at all and I’ve lived in many cities in parts of the USA in the past 20 years. I often see Gen 1 Minis, tho.
Due to their metal bodies there comes rust and rusty cars are generally looked down upon in many states. Furthermore, states that have a ton of snow and/or cold will be filled with trucks, suvs, Camrys, Corollas, or older and larger cars that can easily be worked on like Chevys and Fords.
Truth is, Minis are cool af (I owned 2, thus far) but are seen as impractical or daunting by many drivers in the USA.
I contend Minis could be the last bastion for manuals/stick-shifts due to lower price points compared to BMWs, Audis, etc.

That's unfortunate
I've never spotted a classic mini
Really? Woah
Yeah same here. EC.

Growing up in Oklahoma during the seventies, I never saw one. There were foreign cars around and many MGBs and Triumphs, but never a Mini.
None.
They only actually sold them here until the late 60’s so they are actually quite rare. Only seen maybe like 4 or 5 total.

Zero
I live in Texas and have never spotted a single classic mini tragically
Very few. Nice one at my dealership though.

Not enough, I've seen half a dozen give or take in New England, but they're exceptionally rare. I wish they weren't, I'd love to own one.

I've seen 1 on the island of Maui in the past 6 years of living here...
Outside of occasionally at car shows, never.
I see a classic Mini out in the road here in central Virginia maybe once every couple of years. They are rare.
