1967 Morris 850 Mini Mark 1 Early Style on 2040-cars
Marquette, Michigan, United States
|
This sale is for: 1967 Morris 850 Mini. The car has approximately 76,443 kilometers (47,499 miles) on it. It was repainted at some point in its past. It has the original interior. The Mini came with the hydrolastic suspension, also known as wet suspension, and still retains it to this day. I believe I am the 3rd owner. OTHER INFORMATION: The car has been sitting for about 2 years. I have too many cars and too little time, so have decided it is time to let this car go. I put a new Optima battery in it along with fresh fuel. It started right up and ran well.
The body is in good condition with only a couple of what appear to be minor rust repairs in both of the rear portion of the rocker panels, just in front of the rear wheelwell arches. There is a small rust spot showing in the left front rocker panel. (See the pictures for more info) The floorboards feel solid and there are no repairs I have seen. The bottom of the battery box has some corrosion so I have put an extra plate in just to keep it solid. There is a minor dent/dimple on the right side door.
I added a Pertronix Ignition Module. I also change the oil filter system to a spin on oil filter.
The interior is in decent condition, although the carpet/mats are showing age. Each of the front seats have a tear in the bottoms of approximately 1” in length, but are otherwise in good shape.
It runs the original engine and complete driveline, as far as I can tell. The car needs to be serviced, ie: LOF, fluids checked and added as needed, brakes inspected and adjusted, tires inspected, etc. The car deserves to be detailed. Washed, waxed, buffed, chrome polished, and interior cleaned and upholstery treated. The car was used, but not abused. THE FINE PRINT and THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: I am sure I have left some details out, so check out the pictures, reread what I have written, e-mail me with your questions AND then bid. The car is being sold as is, where is. There is no warranty stated, written, or implied. This is a 47 year old vehicle. As any car of this vintage it may need a few things done. I would encourage you to inspect the car first. I have given any info as to the needs of the car, as I know them, in the most honest manner. I like the car and may have inadvertently overlooked some of it’s clunks, rattles, and little quirks. You will be satisfied with my honest description. e-mail me with questions. I will gladly call serious buyers if you send your phone and best time to call, but I am not available Sunday mornings. A nonrefundable deposit of $500.00 must be made within 48 hours of the end of auction. It may be made either by PayPal or U.S.P.S. Postal Money Order (any other type of funds will be considered nonpayment). BALANCE is due within 10 days of the end of the auction or (which ever occurs first) prior to picking the car up, shipping the car, or receiving delivery of the car from the seller. BALANCE must be by wire transfer, cash or other funds that are verifiable and guaranteed at the time of exchange. I will work the details out with the purchaser. NEITHER THE CAR NOR THE TITLE WILL BE GIVEN OUT UNTIL THE FUNDS ARE FULLY EXCHANGED, VERIFIED, AND USABLE IN MY ACCOUNT. The car is sold as is, where is, however, I will work with you and/or your shipper on being available. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. The winning bidder is responsible for any and all title, plates, taxes, transfers, inspections, insurance, and any other charges related to the purchase of the car. As always, I retain the right to end the auction for any reason, including if sold through another venue.
Thank you for looking and have a great day |

Watch Jay Leno bounce around with Dakar winner Roma in his Mini All4Racing
Mon, 03 Mar 2014With Jay Leno off the Tonight Show, he has all the time in the world to focus on his passion for cars and can even travel a little. Leno teamed up with two-time Dakar Rally winner Nani Roma to jump and slide a Mini Countryman All4 racing truck around the dunes in Death Valley, CA.
The Mini-branded trucks are highly modified for off-road duty. They have won the Dakar Rally consecutively in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and even took a 1-2-3 finish in the most recent running. The specialized Minis are propelled over the dunes by a BMW-sourced, diesel engine with a six-speed sequential gearbox and heavy-duty all-wheel drive system with a locking center differential.
It is amusing to see the big smile on Leno's face, and Roma appears a little worried while Jay is driving. If this is what to expect from the post-Tonight Show Jay Leno's Garage videos, then things are only getting better from an already fantastic series. Scroll down to watch Leno and Roma take a Mini through the dunes.
Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform
Thu, 20 Feb 2014BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
2014 Mini Cooper interior spied uncovered in China
Wed, 14 Aug 2013As we approach the November 18 debut of the new Mini Hardtop, the trickle of news is starting to increase. We've already shown you the exterior of the new hatchback, and now we can show you the interior. These images, captured by Car News China, show a cabin that maintains a few key Mini styling items, but is a fairly progressive evolution of the current R56 model.
Mini's most iconic interior treatment, its center-mounted speedometer, is now gone. The new speedo sits atop the steering column, flanked by a (too tiny, in our opinion) tachometer. In the speedometer's former position are the radio controls. Our friends in China put it best when they say, "The large dial is much uglier than before." There's a mass of buttons and unfriendly black plastic that, at first glance, look far cheaper than the rest of the cabin. Of course, we'll wait to see how this is all ironed out for the production-spec car.
The other parts of the interior, however, look quite good. There's a small bank of toggle buttons at the bottom of the center stack, and the checkerboard dash insert looks clean as well. The seats sport extensions for the bottom cushions, meaning there'll be the option of more support for drivers with longer legs. GTI fans might also notice the plaid bolsters on the seats. Mini's treatment is a bit more subtle than what you'd see on a Volkswagen, though.
