i have owned (and loved) this car for nearly 11 years, but divorce and employment (lack there of) forces sale. i would love to keep it but i will not be able to do to this car what i would like to do, it was with that realization that i have decided to let her go to someone who will carry on the torch. i have owned and garaged this car until this year and it has never ever broken down or let me down in 11 years of ownership. i have many receipts/invoices and can name every single mechanic that has touched this car under my ownership. this is a good candidate for a show car but also a solid candidate for a daily driver or uber dependable second car.

1970 Morris Mini - totally rebuilt as 1994 Rover Mini 1300efi - 35th anniversary edition replica

clear title in my name

i paid $15,500 in 2002

34,000 original miles

*i feel pretty confident that the car was sold to me as advertised with 17,000 when i purchased the car 2002

i am third owner (was imported from Holland by second owner)

all owners took great care of the car

very solid driver

unique paint job for mini with color changing at hip as opposed to the traditional top

rare full length webasto electric folding top - works well, have noticed its operating quite slow in the extreme cold, otherwise always used. nice because it the larger of the 2 sizes and opens all the way back.

beautiful tan hide seating with contracting blue piping - i have driver seat set up to bucket with but cushion can be firmed up with included metal hooks.

burl walnut dash - only 1 area i would call a scratch

6 CD changer under passenger seat - i hate it and would change the stereo. works well, but would want MP3 wire hook up, etc

everything works, nothing is broken or missing

1,375cc tuned fuel injected power plant

some simple mods made by second owner for performance but they do not affect reliability like adjustable shocks and performance cam.

fast and fun as all get out to drive.

this is the mini that mini guys check out

the mini as an undeniable icon of motoring in the 20th century, they are timeless, elegant yet understated. youthful and fun yet refined.

very reliable, drive it anywhere in the country (with new tires)

this is what i would do on the car but know i will not have the time or money to do so:

- localize and eliminate rust in next 1-2 years. it is not bad, it just needs doing. Rough estimate for rust repair $1,000-1,500.

~drivers rocker panel is about 10% rusted. drivers base of the door post is about 5% rusted. passenger side rocker is about 10% rusted. spare tire wheel well in boot is about 30% rusted and will need replacing. no other known rust issues.

- touch up paint and general buffing and polishing and small dent removal on driver door.

- replace wiper blades soon.

- detail photo shows tear in headliner at one of the sunroof bends. that tear has been the same size as the day i bought it and has never grown despite i open the top almost every single dry driving day.

- car has had recent pre-purchase inspection and has been on lift. i can share photos of underside of car as well and contact information for experienced british car shop that completed the inspection.

- that is it, the car really is in pretty great shape.

- 4 Brand New Hight Quality Tires being mounted this week (march 14 at a cost of $480)

please, if you have specific questions or want detailed photos let me know. i have many and would be happy to take any pictures you instruct. i will also take video to do a live video chat so you can direct the camera over what you want to see.

i am honest and transparent. what you see is what you get, just ask. about $500 worth of extra new parts come with car including all new rubber for the glass and new plastic wheel arch flares.

Mini prices new Cooper Hardtop from $19,950* as configurator comes online

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

As 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 shows how to camp in style

Sun, 21 Jul 2013

If you're the type of person who loves spontaneous road trips and camping, and Volkswagen's Camper Vans aren't your style (or you can't find one for sale in the US), then Mini has what you're looking for: the Clubvan Camper, Cowley caravan or Countryman ALL4 Camp. Unfortunately, Mini says there are no plans to offer any of them for sale. And no, this doesn't seem to be a recycled April fools joke, in which Mini touted the Swindon Roof Top Tent and Cowley.
Let's start with the Clubvan camper, a curious prototype that has a sleeping area for one and an extendable kitchenette featuring a stove and chest fridge. And we say curious because, in addition to not being offered for sale anywhere at this point, the Camper is based on the Clubvan, which was just pulled from US dealerships due to low sales volume. This thing definitely isn't coming to the US.
The Cowley caravan, named after Mini's historic factory in England (known today as Plant Oxford), can be towed behind a Mini vehicle and features a sleeping area for two, a twin-burner gas stove and a water tank complete with pump and sink facility. It looks quite comfortable in there. The Cowley uses a solar panel to charge its onboard battery, and it has a 230-volt connection to power the fridge and entertainment equipment.

2015 Mini Hardtop 5-Door isn't for the country, man [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

We've seen it in super high-res glory, and we can even build one on the automaker's website, but the Paris Motor Show marks the official coming out party for the new Mini Hardtop 4 Door (which is what it's called in the US, despite this Euro car having "5 Door" badging). It's a stretched version of the third-generation Mini Hardtop, but with an extra set of doors for rear seat passengers. Think of it as a more useful Clubman, but with a lower ride height and less rugged-ness than the Countryman. Got it? Good.
Engine options carry over from the normal Mini Hardtop range, with a 1.5-liter turbo-three and a 2.0-liter turbo-four offering 134 and 189 horsepower, respectively. The rest of the car is everything else you know and love from the Mini range, just with a more spacious rear bench. And as you'd expect, there's a nearly endless pallet of customization options.
The Hardtop 4 Door arrives at US dealerships just before the end of the year, commanding a roughly $1,000 premium over its three-door kin. Scope out our new live shots in the gallery above, and take in the extensive press blast, below.
