1976 Mini with 1996 Japanese Market Specifications. RHD
For starters, I have owned this car for a little over a year, and it has been an absolute pleasure to own. A "bucket list" car, but now it is time to move on. I bought as you see it here. Only changes I made was painting the roof white, doing the front brake pads (EBC Greenstuff) and rotors, and adding a K&N air filter. This car drives great. The Single Port Injection is absolutely flawless. It starts instantly, no pumping the gas or messing around with carbs. The clutch is great, the gearbox shifts perfectly. The car leaks nothing and does not smoke. It has not overheated on me on 95+ days with the A/C on. It has just over 47,000 KM, less than 30,000 original miles! When I looked for one of these I had to have A/C living here in Houston, and the A/C works great on this car. Only the Japanese market cars had factory A/C and good percentage were the slush box automatics, this makes this car desirable with the 4 speed and A/C. The exterior is not "concourse". I buy my classics to enjoy and drive. That being said it is very good to excellent driver quality paint. The bumpers are stainless steel and so are the door mirrors. I take this car to the local cruise-in and everyone loves it. These guys with their 100k Camaro's don't stand a chance when I am parked next to them. This car gets all the gawkers. If you hate attention, this is not your car. Glass is all excellent, no chips or scratches. Weather stripping is all soft and pliable along with the window felts. Interior is just about excellent. Someone prior to me had beautiful seat covers and door cards put in with green piping to match the exterior paint. All the gauges work. Beautiful Momo walnut steering wheel with billet spokes and walnut Momo shift knob. Carpet is also in great condition. Burl walnut dash showing a little age, but nothing that detracts from the car. Burl walnut door caps. 12" alloys with like new Yokohama tires. Car has one fuel tank, fuel cap on the passenger side (left side) is legit. Driver's side (right side) is a "dummy" cap Car has genuine HID headlamps. The 4 yellow driving lamps are not hooked up, but do work. I have tested them. Bose speakers are rear parcel shelf. 6 Disc Panasonic CD player underneath the rear seat. You need this as the radio is tuned for stations in the eastern hemisphere. If you want a Mini that you can get in, drive and not worry about getting "road worthy" by all means bid on this car. This is not a "concourse", "for points" car, but is absolutely perfect for a British car show, or any other car show for that matter. The fuel injection and the A/C make this car much more tolerable and "modern" than most classic Minis out there. I know you have already looked at the pictures. You've worked hard this year! Treat yourself to this little stock stuffer a few months early. Email me at baprickett@gmail.com or call me with questions 281-814-8504. You won't be disappointed with this little mini. I'll surely miss it! $500 non-refundable deposit required 24 hours after auction ends. Full payment required within 7 days. If you need help with shipping I will do my best to help you out. Please check with me BEFORE the auction ends. Pre-bid inspections are encouraged and welcomed. Again, do this BEFORE the auction ends. I have nothing to hide here. If you live in Texas, I could possibly deliver it to you for a fee, CHECK WITH ME FIRST! |

2020 Mini John Cooper Works GP is priced from $45,750
Mon, Nov 4 2019Mini hasn’t even given us all the details for the upcoming John Cooper Works GP, but it already has a price. Set to debut at this month's L.A. Auto Show, the GP will start at $45,750. The last GP-badged Mini sold for $39,950, so this mid-$40,000 price point isnÂ’t out of the ordinary or unexpected. However, itÂ’s still pretty nuts considering the competition. Mini previously told us the GP will have “over 300 horsepower” and go around the Nurburgring in less than 8 minutes. Global production is also limited to 3,000 total cars, but itÂ’s not clear how many of those will be coming stateside. Mini John Cooper Works GP View 30 Photos A regular 2020 John Cooper Works Hardtop starts at $34,250, but itÂ’s making do with considerably less horsepower at 231 ponies. A Civic Type R retails for $37,230. A Golf R is $41,290 and the WRX STI costs $37,895. WeÂ’ll note that Mini hasnÂ’t said how much standard equipment is included with the $45,750 asking price, so it could get much more expensive from there — Mini will surely let you go nuts with the configurator. That said, we can hope the high asking price does include an array of niceties you'd have to pay for on higher trims of the JCW Hardtop. When it launches later this November, Mini has already promised it will be the fastest car itÂ’s ever produced. WeÂ’re excited to see the extreme Mini take to the streets in mid-2020, as the GP models in the past have always provided us with a gloriously fun driving experience.
Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits
Sun, 25 Aug 2013BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
Mini deletes center rail in Countryman, Paceman
Thu, 20 Jun 2013When Mini first introduced the Countryman, it only came as a four-seater, with a center rail between the two seats that could house things like cup holders and could be slid back and forth. Buyers could even opt for a full-length center rail that ran from just aft of the gear shifter all the way back between the rear seats, like we did in our long-term 2011 Cooper S Countryman All4, shown above.
Shortly after the Countryman's launch, Mini was able to offer the vehicle with a proper rear bench seat; the company could not offer this at launch due to NHTSA guidelines that governed the minimum vehicle width for three-person seating, but those rules were changed. And now, we've received official confirmation of something we reported last year: the Countryman is losing its center rail and four-person seating arrangement altogether. Moving forward, buyers will only be able to spec a Countryman with the bench seat, and a cup holder will be affixed to the back of the forward cabin's center console.
The larger-but-smaller Paceman will also be losing the center rail between its rear seats, but the car will remain a four-seater, instead having a console between the two rear seats that houses a cup holder, an iPod cozy and a 12-volt outlet, according to USA Today.
