1966 Classic Austin Mini Cooper S 1275 Cc Leyland Morris Rover on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
Clean title in hand. Make me an offer. Call Alexander at 512-577-9246 This little motor is an absolute blast. The exhaust sounds mean, but not over the top obnoxious. It has fantastic handling with a tight suspension. It is very mechanically sound. Cruises easily at 75 mph and wants more. It is one beautiful example of a Mini. This thing was built to be a weekend warrior. Something that could be enjoyed on the street on those pretty days, then take it to the track and tear it up. The engine has been built for power, and is nicely done. The transmission has been changed to the new rod change because it is much stronger and shifts much better. The car is set up to be driven hard. Everything works: 4 cylinder 1275 cc naturally aspirated engine 4 speed manual transmission (The transmission is a 1985 or later rod change, not the magic wand) 10 inch alloy wheels Oil accumulator Suspension is dry adjustable (fully customizable camber, caster, height, and dampening) Brakes upgraded with best components Mini Cooper S brake booster Custom roll cage Custom racing seats Upgraded Headlights Air Horn Cabin heater and windshield defroster Driver and passenger horizontal sliding windows Original tool kit (no spare tire) Venting rear windows Dual gas tanks (fuel feeds from both tanks automatically) Windshield washer fluid pump Auxiliary cooling fan Odometer has stopped turning (actual mileage unknown) Windshield wiper motor needs to be replaced Small puncture in driver's seat Provenance: The body is in top notch shape. The body is an MKII Austin Mini. It has some of the body markers of an S, but the oil cooler mounting point has been added. There appears to be body work in the front like a panel replacement. If that's the case, then this would explain why the oil cooler mount was added because the hole could have been replaced. According to the VIN, the car should be an MKI. The block is an S block, but all the numbers are gone. The head has some of the markings of an MKIII Mini Cooper S, but some are missing. Work Performed: Oil change Replaced spark plugs Replaced the valve cover with an aluminum cover. Modified the new cover to fit the bolts. Replaced differential gaskets, side seals, and rod seal in the transmission. Added engine air filters Replaced right front CV boot Replaced starter with 6 horsepower upgraded unit (much easier to start) This car is also known as: Leyland, Morris, or Rover. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction closing. This is a used car, there are no warranties or returns. Inspections are welcome. Buyer is responsible for shipping and state taxes. Bid only if you are going to buy and have the money ready. Call or email me with any questions. Alexander - 512-577-9246 |

Mini goes zany with latest accessories catalog
Tue, 25 Mar 2014Driving a Mini is most definitely an individualistic choice - one that not everyone would get on board with. So if you're going to go with such a fashion statement, you might as well give it your own sense of style. That's where Mini's new line of accessories come in.
Available for the new third-gen Mini hardtop, the accessories offer buyers the opportunity to customize their retro hatchback as best they see fit. There are roof graphics, accessory lighting, wheel upgrades and mirror caps (like the cartoonish ones pictured at right) just like you would have found in the parts catalog for previous iterations of the Mini, but now the brand is offering four appearance kits it's calling Mini Design Lines.
The kits are color coordinated in either Vivid Green, Speedwell Blue, John Cooper Works Pro (in black, red and grey) and Essential Black and include everything from the interior trim to exterior graphics. They might not be to everyone's taste, but that kinda strikes us as the point. Scope 'em out in the extensive high-res image gallery above and the details in the press release below.
2013 Mini Cooper S Paceman All4
Thu, 14 Feb 2013In just over a decade, Mini has expanded its modern range from the singular Hardtop model (launched in 2002) to a full range of little runabouts. The latest of these is the Paceman, and while European Editor Matt Davis gave us the full scoop on this model late last year, we recently spent time with the all-wheel-drive model just outside of Ponce, Puerto Rico.
It's weird, this Paceman. It slots in between the Hardtop and the Countryman (on which its based) in terms of size and functionality, and Mini says that it will appeal to a more style-conscious shopper. Key competitors range anywhere from the Nissan Juke on the low end to the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque on the high end.
After spending lots of time with the Countryman, we're convinced that maxi can still be Mini. And the same is true with this Paceman, too.
Mini reveals new John Cooper Works concept ahead of Detroit
Tue, 17 Dec 2013BMW effectively hit the reset button when it unveiled the new Mini at the LA Auto Show last month, opening the door to a whole raft of new variants to follow - and this is the first.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month is the new Mini John Cooper Works Concept, a show car that previews the next hot hatch from the Anglo-Saxon automaker. Mini isn't saying much about what makes it tick, focusing instead of the design that sets it apart from the standard version we've already seen.
This JCW concept features a lustrous grey paintjob with bright red accents, 18-inch alloys and an upgraded aero kit, all aimed at making the Mini look that much sportier. It's got bigger air intakes where the fog lights would be, LED headlamps, a black grille frame, side skirts, a rear bumper with diffuser insert and a roof-mounted spoiler.
