Austin, Texas, United States
|
Clean title in hand. Make me an offer. Call Alexander at 512-577-9246 This little motor is an absolute blast. The exhaust sounds mean, but not over the top obnoxious. It has fantastic handling with a tight suspension. It is very mechanically sound. Cruises easily at 75 mph and wants more. It is one beautiful example of a Mini. This thing was built to be a weekend warrior. Something that could be enjoyed on the street on those pretty days, then take it to the track and tear it up. The engine has been built for power, and is nicely done. The transmission has been changed to the new rod change because it is much stronger and shifts much better. The car is set up to be driven hard. Everything works: 4 cylinder 1275 cc naturally aspirated engine 4 speed manual transmission (The transmission is a 1985 or later rod change, not the magic wand) 10 inch alloy wheels Oil accumulator Suspension is dry adjustable (fully customizable camber, caster, height, and dampening) Brakes upgraded with best components Mini Cooper S brake booster Custom roll cage Custom racing seats Upgraded Headlights Air Horn Cabin heater and windshield defroster Driver and passenger horizontal sliding windows Original tool kit (no spare tire) Venting rear windows Dual gas tanks (fuel feeds from both tanks automatically) Windshield washer fluid pump Auxiliary cooling fan Odometer has stopped turning (actual mileage unknown) Windshield wiper motor needs to be replaced Small puncture in driver's seat Provenance: The body is in top notch shape. The body is an MKII Austin Mini. It has some of the body markers of an S, but the oil cooler mounting point has been added. There appears to be body work in the front like a panel replacement. If that's the case, then this would explain why the oil cooler mount was added because the hole could have been replaced. According to the VIN, the car should be an MKI. The block is an S block, but all the numbers are gone. The head has some of the markings of an MKIII Mini Cooper S, but some are missing. Work Performed: Oil change Replaced spark plugs Replaced the valve cover with an aluminum cover. Modified the new cover to fit the bolts. Replaced differential gaskets, side seals, and rod seal in the transmission. Added engine air filters Replaced right front CV boot Replaced starter with 6 horsepower upgraded unit (much easier to start) This car is also known as: Leyland, Morris, or Rover. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction closing. This is a used car, there are no warranties or returns. Inspections are welcome. Buyer is responsible for shipping and state taxes. Bid only if you are going to buy and have the money ready. Call or email me with any questions. Alexander - 512-577-9246 |

Help Mini decide on its next limited-edition Cooper
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Mini likes to make a big hullabaloo about the number of ways its cars can be configured, which currently stands at 10 million. While that figure is impressive, the BMW-owned brand is always looking for new and unique design variations, a trend that has seen a number of special-edition Minis pop up over the years boasting unique color and trim items.
For the new, third-generation F56 Mini, the British brand is at it again. Only this time, the cars are designed and chosen by Mini's fans in a new contest. Called "The New Originals," Mini teamed its 10 Final Test Test Drive winners with an illustrator to design their perfect Mini, one of which will become the next special-edition model.
The ten cars are currently being voted on by the brand's fans on the Mini USA website, with the winner set to be announced at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April. A total of 56 examples of the winning entry will then be put on sale, making this one of the most limited of Mini's many limited editions. Voting closes on February 19, so hop over to the page and vote for your favorite.
Mini prices new Cooper Hardtop from $19,950* as configurator comes online
Thu, 30 Jan 2014As surprised as the face of the new 2014 Mini Cooper makes the model look, customers shopping for the third-gen hatchback won't be surprised at all come spring. When the Hardtop goes on sale, it will not only offer a similar design to the outgoing model, it will also have a familiar price with a starting MSRP of $19,950 (*plus $795 for destination).
That price is for the base, third-generation model with the company's new 134-horsepower, 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and that MSRP amounts to a $250 increase over the 2013 Cooper. Looking for a little more power? The 189-hp Cooper S will go on sale at the same time, starting at $23,600 - just $300 more than last year's model.
Mini's press release discussing 2014 Cooper pricing is posted below, but for more detailed information on the options and packages, head on over to the live configurator.
Mini Clubvan ready for boutique chic delivery duty from $25,985
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The light commercial vehicle market has exploded in recent years. With a too-large full-size van no longer the only option for small businesses looking for an enclosed cargo carrier, options like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit Connect and now this, the Mini Clubvan, are now available to suit every size need.
Unveiled at last year's Geneva Motor Show, the Clubvan will soon be on sale here in the US and we finally have details about what that transaction will cost you. Motoring File reports that the Clubvan's price will be $25,985, which includes the so-called "chicken tax" and a $700 destination and handling charge.
Other questions that were answered include whether or not the Clubvan can be ordered as a Cooper S or even John Cooper Works model, and the answer is no (why do need to deliver cakes that fast anyway?). Also, Mini has confirmed you can't take the shortcut of creating your own Clubvan by purchasing a standard Clubman and removing the rear seats. The factory Clubvan features steel side panels instead of vinyl coverings over the rear windows, as well as a fully flat load floor and a safety cage protecting front seat occupants.
