NO RESERVE "PROJECT MINI"

1977 Leyland Mini 1000.

Damaged due to drunk driver running off the road, into my sign post and knocking it down on 4 minis.

I have sold 300+ Minis over the past 25 years and there were always tire kickers looking for a "project mini".

I never sold a "project Mini" because those tire kickers never wanted to pay more than $3000 for a running & driving, rust free, "project Mini".

Shipping from NZ was usually $2800+ per Mini and the MINIS WERE NOT FREE. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I NEVER OFFERED "PROJECT MINIS" FOR $3000!

AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF NOT SELLING "PROJECT MINIS" I FINALLY HAVE ONE FOR SALE.

This Mini was redone 10 years ago in a John deere scheme. Hundreds of dollars were spent buying John Deere chrome name badges, factory decals, John Deere seat cover material and the correct John Deere yellow and green factory paint. george did this mini up to look like a million bucks!

This Mini, along with 3 others, was parked in front of my shop, in Charleston, SC, on my lot, on display.

An uninsured drunk driver ran off the road, hit my sign and knocked the sign down in top of all 4 Minis.

This Mini was damaged more than the other 3, as the sign, on top of the sign post, fell directly in the roof of this Mini. No broken glass, just a caved in roof. Not the kind of damage you buff out!

The other 3 Minis were repaired and sold years ago.

George removed all the interior and glass from this Mini. Every removed part is in my warehouse and intact. See photos.

Please see posted photos for damage, features and condition. this Mini was not a rusty car, at all and has been stored inside my warehouse since the damage was done. this is a nice Mini that needs a roof or the damaged roof removed completely and made into a roadster or convertible.

Importing Minis, in recent years, has become economically impossible, due to the poor exchange rate of the US dollar to other currencies around the globe.

this Mini has been stored inside my warehouse for 3+ years. The engine runs and the car ran & drove great before the damage occurred. the engine did not knock, smoke or over heat. The transmission did not make any unusual noises, jump out of any gear or have any faults at all. the clutch and brakes functioned properly as well. Pete ran this car just last spring and it ran great and moved under its own power. the electrical part of the ignition switch needs replacing, as did most on the mid to late 1970's Minis.

Buyer must send a $500 Paypal deposit within 24 hours of end of listing and the balance of the sale price must be received by me within 3 days of end of listing, in the form of a bank cashier's check, sent by US Post Express mail, 2 day delivery with signature required on delivery. No exceptions.

the Mini can remain inside my warehouse for 30 days, at no extra charge, giving the buyer enough time to arrange transport or come pick the Mini up at their convenience.

Clear SC title and sold as is due to damage.

We were going to cut the roof off,but not enough time, as my property has sold and we must move out by late October, hence the emoval of all the parts, (see posted photos for examples of 3  Minis, orange, red and white, with roof removed),

My ph: 843 696-4400

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014



Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

BMW looking to save billions with cost cuts

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

BMW is planning a fairly extensive overhaul in a bid to recoup some its annual costs, with CEO Norbert Reithofer (pictured above) aiming to save three to four billion euro ($4 to $5.4 billion) per year to help keep the company's profit margins between eight and 10 percent, while also maintaining investments in production expansion and new tech. BMW's profit margins sat at 9.4 percent in 2013.
According to Automotive News Europe, Reithofer is none too pleased about costs at Mini and on the 1 Series, although neither AN nor its source story, from Germany's Manager Magazin, elaborate on what steps could be taken to improve losses on either project. That makes it hard to figure out just where the fat will be trimmed from.
What may happen, though, is that BMW attempts to trim 100 million euros ($135 million) from its German labor costs each year; a solution hinted at a few weeks ago by Germany newspaper Muenchner Merkur. While a dramatic cost reduction, 100 million euros still doesn't begin to even approach the savings envisioned by Reithofer.

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a potent little hot hatch in a fat suit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

If there's one thing we're never going to complain about, it's that Mini has found it necessary to put the John Cooper Works treatment on every single one of its models. We love the JCW package across the board, and the final installment of the high-performance chapter (for now, anyway) comes in the form of the John Cooper Works Paceman, debuting here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
The John Cooper Works formula hasn't been altered in any way here, and like the JCW Countryman on which the Paceman is based, it comes standard with Mini's All4 all-wheel-drive system. We're sure it'll be a total hoot, and with 218 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque on tap, how could it not?
Look for the Mini JCW Paceman to hit dealerships in March of this year. Need to know more? Scroll down.
