Perfect Body, High Power Engine, Classic Italian Job, British Lanyard Min on 2040-cars
Duncan, British Columbia, Canada
|
I have a 1973 Mini that is for sale. The car had a major restoration
in 1993 and was driven for two summer's after that. Since then it has
been undercover in my parent's garage. The body was sandblasted and had
all new metal where needed, no bondo anywhere. The interior is ok
and has a nice wood dash but needs to be finished. As you can see in the
picture I also have some very nice aluminum mag wheels. I put about 25K into the car over about 5 years.
The motor is a one of a kind. it was built by a guy in town as a racing engine, it's fast. I have a Webber carb on it and a custom exhaust to deal with the added input. The car has not been on the road for a while so it will need some TLC to get it back on the road, but you won't find a better body or a better engine anywhere. If you are able to do the superficial work that this car needs you will be very pleased. It could also be raced if you wanted to. Asking price is 8,000 but I do want to sell so will consider any serious offer. If you have any questions email me Dick_nesbitt@hotmail.com , or if you would like to see the car (it's in Duncan BC (Vancouver Island Canada)) you can call 250-748-1350 just leave a message and we will get back to you. I can't ship it to you but I will work with your shipper on my end if you make the arraignments. |

2015 Mini Cooper S does best gymkhana impersonation in Malaysia
Fri, 18 Apr 2014Mini Malaysia wants you - at least those of you in Southeast Asia - to know that the new Mini has a riptide of adrenaline and sharp teeth underneath its larger, more ergonomically efficient exterior. To make the point it enlisted the aid of Putrajaya roads, local agency Saatchi & Saatchi Arachnid and four local action sports stars: Fizzy, Shuk, Rizlan and Nasa.
A bog standard Mini Cooper S is the star, its 192-horsepower engine and rollcage-free cabin reinforcing the message that you can do the same thing in a model right off the showroom floor... if you happen to have the same skills as Ivan Khong, the Malaysian Gymkhana Champion behind the wheel. You can read the backstory in the press release and watch how it all comes together in the video below.
Mini Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity
Fri, 10 May 2013This year's award for Life Ball Mini designer goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Life Ball is a charity event held in Vienna, Austria every year that raises money to fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since 2001, the year of its reintroduction, Mini has been involved with the ball, auctioning a car that has been made over by a world-famous designer. This year Cavalli gets the nod and a Paceman for a canvas.
The iridescent brown/black paint is the eye-catcher in the sketch above (click to enlarge), but don't forget to note Cavalli's logo on the roof. We're not sure what other flourishes he has in mind for the car, but those in attendance will find out on May 24 when it's unveiled at the Cavalli store opening in Vienna. The press release below has more details.
Mini interns turn Paceman into Adventure pickup
Thu, 24 Apr 2014With coupes and convertibles, hatchbacks and crossovers, Mini has done just about every bodystyle we could think of, and then a few more as concepts. But it hasn't done a pickup. At least it hadn't until now.
What we have here is a Mini Paceman (that, of course, being the coupe version of the Countryman) which has been transformed into a pickup by a group of BMW interns. It's called the Mini Paceman Adventure, and it's currently on display at the Mini dealership in Munich. According to BimmerToday.de, the project involved not only chopping the roof and installing a makeshift pickup bed, but also reinforcing the body, reforming the underbody and B-pillar, fitting off-road tires (including a spare fitted to a roof rack) and a handful of other minor modifications.
The photos are a little sketchy (although the dealership tells us a better set will be available soon), but from what we can see, it looks like a pretty solid project - one that makes us wonder if the apprentices' bosses might be paying attention. Because next to the Mini Coupe with its oddball backwards-hat roof treatment, this one-off looks as sensible as you'd expect from a group of German interns.
