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 Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity

Fri, 10 May 2013

This 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 blows up over women applying makeup in cars

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

Distracted driving is a very real problem. From drivers with phones dangling from their ears to those constantly adjusting the stereo or dealing with rowdy children in the back seat, anything that diverts attention away from the act of driving is a potential danger. And yes, that would indeed include applying makeup while driving.
Publicis, the advertising agency used by Mini in Mexico, came up with an inventive (or offensive, depending on your point of view) way of reminding female drivers "that there's a time and place for everything." And while we're not quite sure of the veracity of the statistics cited in the video below, or even the necessity of its production in general, perhaps we'll just take it as a reminder to pay attention while driving... no matter what else happens to be on our minds. Or faces, as it were.
Scroll down below for the explosive demonstration.

Classic Rover Mini is a passion-inspiring plaything

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Ask 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.
