1976 Mini Cooper, Austin, Morris on 2040-cars
Spring, Texas, United States
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! |

Mini confirms the Clubman won't return for a third generation
Fri, Sep 15 2023Mini is in the process of overhauling its range, and it unveiled the new Cooper hatchback and the third-generation Countryman at the 2023 Munich auto show. While additional models are in the pipeline, the BMW-owned brand has confirmed that the Clubman wagon won't return. "I wouldn't say the space is filled, but we will not have a Clubman," company boss Stefanie Wurst told Top Gear. She added that the brand will instead focus on crossovers and SUVs. "The Aceman is a smaller concept, but I think the five-door space (if not the six-door) is filled well by the Countryman and the Aceman. If you look at the sales numbers worldwide, the Countryman doubles the Clubman," she added. Her argument holds water: broadly speaking, buyers in the United States and in China — two very important markets for Mini — prefer crossovers and SUVs over station wagons by a significant margin. Even in Europe, where the wagon held its ground for much longer than elsewhere, the fight is seemingly lost: new SUV sales grew by 23% during the first half of 2023, and the body style now accounts for over half of the market with a share of 51%. It's the first time this has happened. In contrast, that figure stood at 48% during the first half of 2022. If the name Aceman doesn't ring a bell, it's likely because the model hasn't made its debut yet. It's due out in the coming months as a small crossover positioned below the new Countryman and offered exclusively with an electric powertrain. It was previewed by a concept in July 2022, and spy shots taken later that year suggest that its exterior design won't significantly change as it transitions to a production model. Pour one out for the Clubman, then, and act fast if you want to put a new one in your garage. Mini unveiled a Final Edition model (pictured) that's limited to less than 100 units for the American market, highly equipped, and priced at nearly $50,000 in April 2023. While you're at it, pour one out for the manual transmission: Mini has previously confirmed that it's also ditching the stick-shift as part of its line-up overhaul.

Mini Paceman Adventure photos arrive by the trucklette-load
Fri, 25 Apr 2014Yesterday, we brought you the news of the existence of this Mini Paceman Adventure tiny truck, and the story of how it came to be. Long story short: it was a lighthearted collaboration between apprentices and instructors at parent BMW plants in Germany. The mini-sized pickup bed and off-road kit may not make the Paceman All4 actually practical, but we'd argue that they do make the one-off fairly loveable.
Apparently the Mini photographers agree with that "loveable" part. We'd heard that there were some better, higher-resolution images of the Paceman Adventure on the way, but we didn't expect there to be hundreds of them. But as you can see, the shooters went out and thoroughly documented the pickup, shooting it in several locations, still and moving, and documenting some of its construction as well. Find your favorite in the massive gallery of images, above.
2021 Mini Countryman Boardwalk Edition price and features detailed
Thu, Mar 25 2021Mini announced a new appearance package for the Countryman called the Boardwalk Edition back in December, and now the company has revealed how much it will cost. With the $850 destination fee, it rings in at $39,215 for the front-wheel-drive version, or $41,215 for the all-wheel-drive. That's not cheap, but it comes with quite a bit. Based on the Cooper S Countryman and painted in a unique Deep Laguna Metallic paint, it comes with a Pin Spoke wheels, external trim, and contrasting roof all in Piano Black. The interior is available with only one upholstery, Cross Punch leather also in black. A touchscreen nav package comes standard on Boardwalks, which includes Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and real-time traffic. The Boardwalk Edition also includes equipment from the normally $2,000 Premium Package, including LED fog and headlights, power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors, heated front seats and automatic climate control. Additionally, the Boardwalk Edition also receives bespoke door sills, roof and dashboard graphics, as well as unique Boardwalk side scuttles standard. Compared to a a similarly equipped Signature trim with Premium Package, the Boardwalk Edition's price has a discount of a hair less than $1,000. If you like that package and the Deep Laguna color, then this is the trim for you. The Mini Countryman Boardwalk Edition will hit dealerships in April 2021. There's no word on whether a Park Place Edition will follow. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
