Selling my 1974 Morris Mini Cooper "right hand drive" with 95xxx miles original. with clean IL title.

2003 was the last year mini was register in UK

This little mini cooper is in great condition for his age, the mini has no rust, no bubbles on paint whatsoever,  all underneath is pretty solid  just dirty. Every car show mini has attended he always gets a lot of compliment and in the road a lot of thumbs up.

Mini has newer paint job not a 10k paint job but  descent. paint is really nice with a little metal flake shines really nice in the sun, The interior has newer carpet also and newer smaller comfy seats  than the original because I am 5'11 I needed the room for my height and legs but they fit pretty nice in  the car. (also I have the original seats if u want them one of the have few rips)

Then engine is a 850 cc well take care with good compression runs pretty  good for small engine very clean  and very economical on "gas" just had the oil changed, sparkplugs. Mini has new clutch master cylinder, new front and rear brake pads.

The heater works fine, all light, brake lights, turn signals in working condition, the door locks and trunk work also.

mini has 10 inch cosmic wheels with newer falken tires.

I just want be honest with the cons: car has a small dent on the roof barely noticeable, in the dash I guess the previous owner put some tape on it may have few cracks and that's how he fixed it, its  black so it doesn't show much, the headliner has minor discoloration from the sun not bad and I noticed leaks minimal oil since  the oil was changed I think the bolt was over tight and smash the plastic washer not big deal I just didn't want have the to drain all the oil and replace a washer.

If you have any question feel free to email me.

Good luck bidding, I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, selling locally as well.

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.

Mini Clubman Bond Street inspired by London shopping

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Mini 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.

28 "flexible ladies" cram into a Mini Cooper [w/video]

Sat, 17 Nov 2012

The Mini Cooper is now confirmed as a great car with which to pick up chicks-up to 28 of them at a time, to be specific. That's the number of limber ladies you can fit in a Mini, as proven earlier this week in London.
The flexible females used every available space in the car, including the footwells and dashboard, to set the Guinness World Record for the most people inside a 2012 Mini. They beat their own previous record of 27, set last year.
Organizer Dani Maynard said before the attempt that the girls had undergone extra training and stretching since last year's record-breaking stunt. "While we have not quite been able to fit any of the girls into the Mini's glove box, there is a surprising amount of space to utilise," she told UK news site Metro.
