1962 Morris Mini on 2040-cars
Akron, Ohio, United States
|
Fully restored and sorted car that needs nothing other than to be enjoyed and driven. Over $12,000.00 was spent on a professional rotisserie restoration to the body (see pictures for full details of the bodywork done). There is no filler whatsoever in the body and it is as absolutely as perfect and rust free of an early Mini as you will ever find. Stunning black base coat/clear coat paint with yellow stripes has been on the car for over 15 years and looks as good today as it did the day it was done. You will not find nicer paint or bodywork on an early mini. The motor is a .040 over 1275 built by George Bauchman of Midwest Motorsports and it is built to as hot of a street motor as can possibly be built and still run on pump gas. Pistons are Hepolite cast pistons with 10:1 compression and the head and cam were done by George and it has his limited prep H production cam. The motor makes an estimated 100 to 105 horsepower and it is a very streetable motor that pulls smoothly from 2000rpm all the way to 7000rpm and has all ARP hardware throughout and is on a 45DCOE Weber and Aldon distributor for better driveability. The gearbox is a rod change and has a limited slip differential installed and puts the power down through 10" Revolution wheels and Yokohama A008 tires. The brake lines are all -3 braided teflon lines with an adjustable in-line Tilton blade adjuster unit. Virtually every nut and bolt was new when the car was restored in 2002, and every suspension piece was either nickel plated or zinc plated (see pictures) All suspension components are fully adjustable from Mini Mania. The car has an 8 gallon ATL fuel cell (with sending unit to dash guage), plus high output fuel pump and Holley fuel pressure regulator. There is a custom fully carpeted interior with matching Corbeau seats, and Autometer gauges. All lights and electrics work perfectly. The car was built as a hot street car that could be enjoyed as is and also occasionally be autocrossed. If someone desired, it could also easily be converted to a vintage race car with the addition of a roll cage. There is well over $35,000 invested in this car and it is ready to go and enjoy.

Mini's matte Countryman Black Knight Edition rises
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Mini is certainly no stranger to a special edition, as unique option and styling packs have been a staple of the Mini line since its return to the US market, but it's next special trim is quite a big departure from previous cars. It's based on the Countryman, and is called the Black Knight Edition.
As you cans see from the image up top, it'll sport a sinister, matte-black paint scheme, making this Mini not unlike BMW's range of Frozen Edition cars. First reported on by those Mini-obsessed folks at MotoringFile, the Black Knight Edition Countryman will be limited to 60 units, and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, making this car quite a bit different from previous special editions, which generally stuck around for a full model year.
According to MF, the matte finish will only be available on the Cooper S Countryman, although oddly, one of the teaser images shows a John Cooper Works badge. BKE models should be coming nearly loaded, which means that there's not a lot of customization done and the price tag is probably going to be exorbitant for a Mini. Buyers will, though, have the choice of front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
Classic Rover Mini is a passion-inspiring plaything
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Ask anyone that's driven a classic Mini, and they'll probably tell you that their first reaction to driving it was a lot like the start of this video - whooping, shouting, laughing and a whole lot of smiling. This video, from Jon Quirk, editor-in-chief at Auto Trader UK, highlights the connection between him and his Rover Mini Paul Smith. He really nails the man-machine interface that makes owning a great car so much fun. Besides that, Quirk does a good job of enumerating what is so enjoyable about driving a fun car on a twisting road.
For our British readers, this video is also meant to test the waters for a new format from Auto Trader UK, called "I Bought One." With Quirk's Mini, the car-buying site is looking at telling the story of people and their interesting cars. We think this video is a great start, with high production value and solid content. Head on over to the YouTube channel, and let them know what you think. But first, scroll on down for the entire video on this awesome Rover Mini.
Mini Clubman Bond Street is as special as they come
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Mini is committed to applying the brand's trademark special-edition formula to the company's long roof. The Clubman Bond Street bowed under the lights of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, complete with its unique black-and-champagne color scheme. Like the Mayfair and Camden and Bayswater and Baker Street special editions that came before it, the Bond Street pays homage to a famous London street with mirror caps and a roof dipped in contrasting paint. The Cool Champagne color pops against the body's Midnight Black Metallic, and buyers can expect to find a set of 17-inch alloy wheels on hand as well.
Inside, the Clubman Bond Street gets Carbon Black leather seating with Deep Champagne accents. Each Bond Street comes equipped with the Chrome Line package. Under the hood, a 122-horsepower gasoline four-cylinder serves up thrust, though a 143-horsepower turbo-diesel mill can also be had for a little extra coin. Check out the full press release below for more information.
