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),

Mini celebrates racing success with John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013
Tue, 05 Mar 2013French drivers Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottret drove a Mini Countryman to a class win at this year's Dakar Rally, and to commemorate their win, Mini has introduced a limited-volume car that will only be sold in France. The Mini John Cooper Works Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013 might be a mouthful to say, but it's a fitting tribute to Peterhansel's eleventh Dakar win as this Countryman is painted to look like the rally car and only 11 will be sold in the Peterhansel's home country.
Sporting a similar green-over-matte-black paint scheme as the Dakar Countryman, the JCW Countryman ALL4 Dakar Winner 2013 also adds green accents to the full-length top and side stripes, the side marker lights and also contrasting stitching inside the cabin. Adding to the car's rally look, this special edition will also include the racers' number card on the front doors, Dakar decals on the front and rear and Peterhansel's signature on the hood. Grille-mounted rally lights, bright red brake calipers and unique 19-inch wheels with dark-painted inserts finish off the exterior design.
New Mini Cooper only just now being delivered due to EPA certification
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The Mini brand and its products have typically been a runaway success for BMW, but sales of the retro hatchback dropped a drastic 20.5 percent last month, and have been doing such pretty much all year.
The reason, according to Jalopnik, is that the new model has been held up due to EPA certification. Mini told our compatriots, "Sales have dropped because our supply has been so limited. MY 2015 Mini Hardtops have also not been able to go on sale pending the final results of federal fuel economy certification."
Mini goes on to clarify that "as of October 1st, three out of the four 2015 Mini Hardtop 2 door models, the Cooper with manual transmission, the Cooper with automatic transmission, and the Cooper S with manual transmission, have been released for retail sales and deliveries."
Mini might not replace Paceman, Coupe, Roadster
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Nobody could argue at this point that Mini (like its parent company BMW) has not mastered the art (if you could call it that) of filling every niche with its own model. But with the third generation of Mini now upon us, some of the company's strategists are asking themselves what the point is of it all.
The outgoing second-generation Mini spawned too many variants to count. So far the new model has only surfaced in hatchback form, but the brand may roll out quite as many variants this time around. Instead it is looking at its lineup in terms of pillars.
The quintessential hatchback we've already seen would be one pillar. The Countryman crossover would be another. And the production version of the new Clubman concept which Mini displayed in Geneva would be a third. A convertible based (like the existing one and the one that came before it) on the hardtop hatchback is likely to follow, but don't expect too many other versions.
