1967 Morris 850 Mini Mark 1 Early Style on 2040-cars
Marquette, Michigan, United States
|
This sale is for: 1967 Morris 850 Mini. The car has approximately 76,443 kilometers (47,499 miles) on it. It was repainted at some point in its past. It has the original interior. The Mini came with the hydrolastic suspension, also known as wet suspension, and still retains it to this day. I believe I am the 3rd owner. OTHER INFORMATION: The car has been sitting for about 2 years. I have too many cars and too little time, so have decided it is time to let this car go. I put a new Optima battery in it along with fresh fuel. It started right up and ran well.
The body is in good condition with only a couple of what appear to be minor rust repairs in both of the rear portion of the rocker panels, just in front of the rear wheelwell arches. There is a small rust spot showing in the left front rocker panel. (See the pictures for more info) The floorboards feel solid and there are no repairs I have seen. The bottom of the battery box has some corrosion so I have put an extra plate in just to keep it solid. There is a minor dent/dimple on the right side door.
I added a Pertronix Ignition Module. I also change the oil filter system to a spin on oil filter.
The interior is in decent condition, although the carpet/mats are showing age. Each of the front seats have a tear in the bottoms of approximately 1” in length, but are otherwise in good shape.
It runs the original engine and complete driveline, as far as I can tell. The car needs to be serviced, ie: LOF, fluids checked and added as needed, brakes inspected and adjusted, tires inspected, etc. The car deserves to be detailed. Washed, waxed, buffed, chrome polished, and interior cleaned and upholstery treated. The car was used, but not abused. THE FINE PRINT and THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: I am sure I have left some details out, so check out the pictures, reread what I have written, e-mail me with your questions AND then bid. The car is being sold as is, where is. There is no warranty stated, written, or implied. This is a 47 year old vehicle. As any car of this vintage it may need a few things done. I would encourage you to inspect the car first. I have given any info as to the needs of the car, as I know them, in the most honest manner. I like the car and may have inadvertently overlooked some of it’s clunks, rattles, and little quirks. You will be satisfied with my honest description. e-mail me with questions. I will gladly call serious buyers if you send your phone and best time to call, but I am not available Sunday mornings. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 must be made within 48 hours of the end of auction. It may be made either by PayPal or U.S.P.S. Postal Money Order (any other type of funds will be considered nonpayment). BALANCE is due within 10 days of the end of the auction or (which ever occurs first) prior to picking the car up, shipping the car, or receiving delivery of the car from the seller. BALANCE must be by wire transfer, cash or other funds that are verifiable and guaranteed at the time of exchange. I will work the details out with the purchaser. NEITHER THE CAR NOR THE TITLE WILL BE GIVEN OUT UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE FULLY EXCHANGED, VERIFIED, AND USABLE IN MY ACCOUNT. The car is sold as is, where is, however, I will work with you and/or your shipper on being available. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. The winning bidder is responsible for any and all title, plates, taxes, transfers, inspections, insurance, and any other charges related to the purchase of the car. As always, I retain the right to end the auction for any reason, including if sold through another venue.
Thank you for looking and have a great day |

Mini interns turn Paceman into Adventure pickup
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With coupes and convertibles, hatchbacks and crossovers, Mini has done just about every bodystyle we could think of, and then a few more as concepts. But it hasn't done a pickup. At least it hadn't until now.
What we have here is a Mini Paceman (that, of course, being the coupe version of the Countryman) which has been transformed into a pickup by a group of BMW interns. It's called the Mini Paceman Adventure, and it's currently on display at the Mini dealership in Munich. According to BimmerToday.de, the project involved not only chopping the roof and installing a makeshift pickup bed, but also reinforcing the body, reforming the underbody and B-pillar, fitting off-road tires (including a spare fitted to a roof rack) and a handful of other minor modifications.
The photos are a little sketchy (although the dealership tells us a better set will be available soon), but from what we can see, it looks like a pretty solid project - one that makes us wonder if the apprentices' bosses might be paying attention. Because next to the Mini Coupe with its oddball backwards-hat roof treatment, this one-off looks as sensible as you'd expect from a group of German interns.
Mini John Cooper Works Concept heading wide-eyed into production
Mon, 13 Jan 2014We now know that Mini will offer a stupendous number of total models over the next few years, so it's fair to assume that most of the brand's concept cars have series production written all over them. So, a 'concept' like this new John Cooper Works Mini is more or less a mortal lock to hit showrooms in very similar trim.
That's probably a good thing for future JCW owners, as this Mini looks decidedly better than the standard car that debuted in Los Angeles late last year. Something about the bigger grille, lowered front fascia and pumped up wheel arches make the car more visually compelling than the weird-nosed 2014 Mini Hardtop. (At least to this author.)
By hey, don't take our word for it - with the official press release down below, and our box-fresh gallery of live images up above, you can make up your minds for yourselves. Tell us what you think in the Comments.
Mini sells 500,000th car in US
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Mini has officially sold 500,000 vehicles in the United States. The achievement came just a few days after the company commemorated its 11th anniversary in America. When the automaker first opened its doors to US buyers in 2002, it sold just 24,590 unis. Last year, the automaker moved 66,123 vehicles thanks in part to an expanded lineup that now includes the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman in addition to the stalwart Hardtop and Convertible. The company plans to have some 130 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2013; there are currently 116 Mini dealers in the US.
Mini helped reignite an interest in small cars with plenty of personality when it debuted the Cooper 11 years ago. The move helped pave the way for machines like the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic. Check out the quick press release on the 500,000th Mini model below.
