i have owned (and loved) this car for nearly 11 years, but divorce and employment (lack there of) forces sale. i would love to keep it but i will not be able to do to this car what i would like to do, it was with that realization that i have decided to let her go to someone who will carry on the torch. i have owned and garaged this car until this year and it has never ever broken down or let me down in 11 years of ownership. i have many receipts/invoices and can name every single mechanic that has touched this car under my ownership. this is a good candidate for a show car but also a solid candidate for a daily driver or uber dependable second car.

1970 Morris Mini - totally rebuilt as 1994 Rover Mini 1300efi - 35th anniversary edition replica

clear title in my name

i paid $15,500 in 2002

34,000 original miles

*i feel pretty confident that the car was sold to me as advertised with 17,000 when i purchased the car 2002

i am third owner (was imported from Holland by second owner)

all owners took great care of the car

very solid driver

unique paint job for mini with color changing at hip as opposed to the traditional top

rare full length webasto electric folding top - works well, have noticed its operating quite slow in the extreme cold, otherwise always used. nice because it the larger of the 2 sizes and opens all the way back.

beautiful tan hide seating with contracting blue piping - i have driver seat set up to bucket with but cushion can be firmed up with included metal hooks.

burl walnut dash - only 1 area i would call a scratch

6 CD changer under passenger seat - i hate it and would change the stereo. works well, but would want MP3 wire hook up, etc

everything works, nothing is broken or missing

1,375cc tuned fuel injected power plant

some simple mods made by second owner for performance but they do not affect reliability like adjustable shocks and performance cam.

fast and fun as all get out to drive.

this is the mini that mini guys check out

the mini as an undeniable icon of motoring in the 20th century, they are timeless, elegant yet understated. youthful and fun yet refined.

very reliable, drive it anywhere in the country (with new tires)

this is what i would do on the car but know i will not have the time or money to do so:

- localize and eliminate rust in next 1-2 years. it is not bad, it just needs doing. Rough estimate for rust repair $1,000-1,500.

~drivers rocker panel is about 10% rusted. drivers base of the door post is about 5% rusted. passenger side rocker is about 10% rusted. spare tire wheel well in boot is about 30% rusted and will need replacing. no other known rust issues.

- touch up paint and general buffing and polishing and small dent removal on driver door.

- replace wiper blades soon.

- detail photo shows tear in headliner at one of the sunroof bends. that tear has been the same size as the day i bought it and has never grown despite i open the top almost every single dry driving day.

- car has had recent pre-purchase inspection and has been on lift. i can share photos of underside of car as well and contact information for experienced british car shop that completed the inspection.

- that is it, the car really is in pretty great shape.

- 4 Brand New Hight Quality Tires being mounted this week (march 14 at a cost of $480)

please, if you have specific questions or want detailed photos let me know. i have many and would be happy to take any pictures you instruct. i will also take video to do a live video chat so you can direct the camera over what you want to see.

i am honest and transparent. what you see is what you get, just ask. about $500 worth of extra new parts come with car including all new rubber for the glass and new plastic wheel arch flares.

Mini Cooper Hardtop 4-Door configurator is open for all

Thu, 11 Sep 2014

The Mini Cooper five-door hatchback, which the company insists on calling the Mini Hardtop 4 Door, doesn't start arriving at US dealers until January 2015. However, if you dig the latest model's styling but can't live without the two extra doors, you can start speccing one right now in the recently launched configurator.
The new five-door hatch isn't just the standard model with extra doors squished in. It rides on a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase and is 6.3-inches longer overall. That means more room for rear passengers and extra space to haul stuff in the boot. The engine options are shared though with a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder with 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque for the Cooper or a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder with 189 hp and 207 lb-ft in the Cooper S. Both are available with a six-speed manual or automatic.
Prices (including destination) for that extra space starts at $21,450 for the Cooper or $25,100 for the Cooper S, which is $1,000 more than the three-door in both cases. However, like any modern Mini, these guys are extremely customizable from the factory. There are an array of colors, 10 option packages and a ton of other add-ons to choose from.

Mini sells 500,000th car in US

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

Mini has officially sold 500,000 vehicles in the United States. The achievement came just a few days after the company commemorated its 11th anniversary in America. When the automaker first opened its doors to US buyers in 2002, it sold just 24,590 unis. Last year, the automaker moved 66,123 vehicles thanks in part to an expanded lineup that now includes the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman in addition to the stalwart Hardtop and Convertible. The company plans to have some 130 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2013; there are currently 116 Mini dealers in the US.
Mini helped reignite an interest in small cars with plenty of personality when it debuted the Cooper 11 years ago. The move helped pave the way for machines like the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic. Check out the quick press release on the 500,000th Mini model below.

2014 Mini Cooper goes to the dogs

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We wouldn't buy a car to make a dog happy, but Mini's latest commercial, Bullheaded, would have you believe that dogs like the new 2014 Cooper as much as humans. Regardless of the commercial's target audience (Spike The Bulldog, or his owner?), it does show a couple new tidbits about the car, such as the new center dial touchscreen, ambient lighting and the nifty tinted pop-up display on top of the dashboard that reminds us of the head-up display on the new Mazda3.
Head below to watch Spike and his owner drive the Mini in Downtown Los Angeles (and the back lots of Paramount), and to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the commercial was made.
