Up for grabs is a 1976 Mini Cooper Classic that was updated/rebuilt a few years ago by a previous owner with all the mechanical and interior items from a late 1990's low mileage Japanese spec Mini Cooper Classic with A/C. The odometer reading is correct for the mileage on the engine and running gear from the Japanese donor car. Items that I have taken care since owning the car:
-New front and rear window seals
-Dash recovered
-New Radio
-Driver's seat rail extensions---I am 6' tall and have no problem driving the car for long distances.
-Rebuilt the heater with new heater radiator and updated fan.
-Rebuilt alternator
-Recent Tune up including new spark plugs, wires, belt and air filter
-Coolant system flushed
-New rubber floor mats
Only item that was not fully hooked up during the rebuild of the car by the previous owner was the Air Bag, but I was told everything is in place if someone was interested in having it completed. Only flaws in the paint are rock chips on the rear wheel arches on both sides, otherwise the paint looks great including the racing strips. The car gets great gas mileage in the mid 30's and is a blast to drive. Several spare items come with the car including oil filters, air filter, fuel filter and a few hard to find electrical items for the fuel injected engine.I would feel comfortable driving this car anywhere and if the future owner wishes to fly into to drive the car home the closest Airport is in Redmond Oregon and I would be happy to pick you up. Car has a free and clear title in my name and the only reason I am selling this car is that I have found another toy that needs its garage space. Let me know if there are any questions or additional photos needed. Also I will give the winning bidder the option to purchase the correct service computer for the car for $500.00. Happy Bidding!

Mini Clubman Bond Street inspired by London shopping
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Mini again plucks a London landmark as the appellation for a special edition, the Mini Clubman Bond Street joining the Mayfair and Camden, and Bayswater and Baker Street editions of the recent past. You'll recognize the formula of primary color and polished contrasting color, in this case its Midnight Black Metallic for the main event and Cool Champagne for the highlights like the roof, mirror caps and trim rings on the 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside it's Carbon Black leather set off by surfaces in Deep Champagne and the Chrome Line package.
It will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March before going into production for a limited run that same month. Four engines will be offered, with on-the-road prices ranging from 20,275 pounds ($31,961 US) in the UK for the 122-horsepower gas engine to 24,045 pounds ($37,918 US) for the 143-horsepower SD diesel version. A press release below will tell you all you wish to know.
Sorting through the rat's nest that is Mini's model history
Sat, 13 Apr 2013What do Austin, Morris, British Motor Corporation, British Motor Holdings, British Leyland, Rover Group, and BMW all have in common? Each company has had a hand in bringing the world a sprightly, fuel-efficient, front-wheel-drive fun box on wheels - the Mini.
The Sir Alec Issigonis-designed car has been sold under more brand names and with more model designations than most of us would guess. For seven generations of the classic Mini, from 1959 to 2000, the car carried a bewildering number of model names as well. (Note that's even before BMW took over the nameplate, and starting building cars styled as "MINI" rather than "Mini" in 2001.)
As is its want, Hemmings Daily has taken the time to break down the complex lineage of the car, with a kind of model etymology that makes for a pretty entertaining read. Click over to the site to give it a go; but check out our gallery of classic Mini pictures before you jump.
2013 Mini John Cooper Works
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Location, Location, Location
Back in February, Mini invited me to come try out its brand-new Paceman coupe-crossover-hatchback thing in Puerto Rico, and not long after, I spit out a Quick Spin detailing my impressions of the little-big two-door. But here's what I didn't tell you: Mini also let me loose on those fine, curvaceous, tropical roads in its hottest hatch, the John Cooper Works GP. And while that behind-the-wheel gigglefest would have no doubt made for a story laden with positive notes and warm regards, the truth is, I only drove it for 15 minutes, so I couldn't in good conscience offer much of a story to you. (European Editor Matt Davis also got a short stint behind the wheel of the GP late last year.)
So for the sake of due diligence, I buckled down and spent a full eight days with the JCW GP back home in Detroit, just as springtime was starting to stick here in southeast Michigan. But after my time with the Mini, I was wishing that I could have just been left with my GP memories from Puerto Rico, where I was pushing the little hotbox hard around smooth corners and flexing every one of its muscles to eke out the full JCW GP experience in only a short timeframe.
