1986 Classic Mini Here is one of five classic mini's that I imported about two years ago from the UK. Two have been sold and this is the last one. I'm keeping the other two. The only reason that I picked these particular Mini's to sell is because one that I'm keeping is a bare shell now and the other is an automatic trans with A/C. This particular mini has a 1275cc engine out of an early 1990's Mini with the SPI engine. This is not a fuel injected Mini. She, Teresa, has been fitted with a 1 3/4 HIF44 SU Carb. I live outside of Seattle, about 85 miles NW and have driven her to Portland twice. Runs great. The fastest I had her up to was 85MPH. She wanted to go faster but the State Patrol in this state doesn't have much of a sense of humor so I had to back down to 75. The fiberglass kit that surrounds her I believe is what is referred to as a Zemec kit in England. It is such a clean job that you would think she came from the factory this way. She does have one small crack in the fiberglass which I have tried to show in the photos. As the pictures show, she does not have her original seats but they are adjustable and she doesn't have a rear seat. Rear seats are sold new from 7ent.com, a big classic mini parts supplier in California. A couple of items do not work. The speedometer cable is broken. I know that for a fact because I can pull it out. I use my GPS as a speedometer. The tach isn't accurate I was told that it is inaccurate because of the engine swap. The engine was designed as a fuel injected and now she isn't. And the clock doesn't work. She came without a radio and she still doesn't have one. She has a roof antenna with the cable running to the radio cutout. The UK title shows her color as silver, but I'm guessing that she has been repainted as the paint job looks really good. The headliner has also probably been redone. Looks great in its jet black, felt like finish. No cuts or tears. The interior is flawless. The carpet and seats are also in really great shape. Teresa has had a number of upgrades since I got her. Two items are the Pertronix Ignitor II distributor replaced the stock distributor and she was fitted with a Flame Thrower HV High Voltage Coil. Their are numerous other upgrades and are shown on copies of the invoices from Jet Motors. Jet Motors deal exclusively with Classic Mini's. The only two items that I can think of where I don't have copies of the invoice is the clutch master cylinder rubber hose was replaced with a braided stainless steel one and the HIF44 Carb was completely rebuilt by SUcarb.com Actual mileage listed may be higher because I do drive her. Listing may end early because she is listed locally. $100.00 Paypal non refundable deposit due within 24 hours. Balance must be paid for by wire transfer or certified check within 72 hours. I will consider a REASONABLE offer. Just email if you are a serious buyer. Clear WA State title in my name. If your in the area, your more than welcome to take her for a drive. The Buy it Now price is less than what the car cost me, Cost involved were the cost of Teresa, having the car picked up from the purchase location and delivered to the Southampton docks, the cost of the boat, all the custom fees, the broker to handle the mountain of paperwork, Tacoma dock fees, the cost to have her transported from Tacoma to Port Angeles, and finally all the cost to have her registered here in WA state. Thank you for looking. |

Coming Mini Countryman JCW shows itself with new design and new logo
Wed, Sep 13 2023Mini clued us in that there'd be a John Cooper Works version of the all-new Countryman unveiled around the Munich Auto Show. We didn't get images of the go-faster Mini until now, Mini posting two exterior shots and two interior shots to its Instagram channel. As usual, Mini's made a number of subtle changes to the JCW that the average driver might not notice, but which brand fans and car spotters will quickly catch. The upper grille on the Countryman JCW is not only a different mesh pattern than the standard car, now done up like a checkered flag, it sits above a defined bumper structure bearing the same pattern graphic. The grille's set into a black surround, and above it, two faintly embossed channels lead to air outlets in front of the hood shutline. At the edges, breaks in the headlight DRLs turn them into a set of horizontal brackets. Further down, where the standard Countryman has small fog light recesses in the front fascia's corners, the Countryman JCW has a pair of tall intakes topped by the bumper and flanked by side curtains. Chili Red accents on the curtains match the same color on the mirror caps and roof. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The redrawn JCW logo appears on the plaque behind the B-pillar; Ford isn't the only one spiffing up its corporate identity. The previous logo spelled out the JCW name, with the "Works" bit set into a stretched, horizontal oval pendant. The updated logo sheds the pendant, placing the wordmark next to a checkered flag motif. Among the Instagram images, checkered flags appear again in the rear seatbacks and we have a feeling there are a few more around the cabin. Back outside, the Countryman JCW's taillights sport a stylized version of the Union Jack motif on the standard car above quad pipes poking through the rear bumper. This gas-powered Countryman JCW is anticipated to use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder from the current car but with more output than the present 301 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque. It's due sometime next year in all-wheel-drive form along with a gas-powered Mini Cooper JCW hatch. Mini product line chief Stefan Floeck told Autocar that come 2025, both the Cooper JCW and Countryman JCW will offer battery-electric versions. Now that Mini has opened its BEV account, and by 2030 the automaker plans to go BEV-only, there might be a John Cooper Works GP sendoff at some point.
New Mini EV below the Countryman reportedly debuts this year
Fri, Apr 22 2022In October 2020, Mini provided the broad strokes of the sea-change overhaul coming to its model lineup. In the meantime, we've seen the coming 2023 Countryman and 2023 Hardtop. But haze still surrounds mentions of two more crossovers, one of them electric-only, and what was in store for the five-door hatch and the Clubman. Now that we're closer to sheetmetal reveals, Autocar believes it understands the rundown. Starting at the top of the range, the Clubman takes a fresh design into its third generation, but not a plug-in hybrid powertrain. For some reason, the PHEV didn't get approval under Mini's Power of Choice strategy to provide model lineups with gas, diesel, PHEV, and electric propulsion options. The Clubman will get an all-electric trim, though, and this is thought to be the "compact" crossover Mini mentioned in 2020. This is expected to debut before the end of this year. The third-gen Clubman is expected to grow eight inches longer, making more room not only for growing families and consideration among North American buyers, but also for a smaller model to slide underneath. The new, electric-only small crossover whirrs into this space. It will be built in China as part of Spotlight, which is BMW Group's partnership with Chinese automaker Great Wall. No one has said definitively if this CUV will be sold globally, but Mini's revised production plans will have the hardtop and convertible being built in Oxford, England, the Clubman and Clubman moving from the Netherlands plant to Leipzig, Germany, and the automaker's electric models being built in China. It's hard to believe China won't export any of the electric product, especially considering how important both the crossover and EV segments are to Mini. This small electric crossover and the three-door Hardtop EV are moving to a new platform that can house more battery, a crucial aspect for small offerings to address. The 2023 Hardtop and the small electric CUV are also predicted to debut later this year. it's said the latter won't stick to Mini's retro theme, but sport a "much more radical design." On top of that, Australia's Car Expert reported, "Mini is also set to introduce another premium compact car in an as-yet unrevealed segment, potentially based on the Vision Urbanaut concept." The Mini four-door (five-door in other markets) and Clubman seem headed for the sunset.
Mini JCW E PROtotype is a full-fat electric John Cooper Works
Mon, Jul 8 2024Mini has been revealing or teasing or launching variants of its all-new lineup since last September. It's not too much yet, but there's a lot of Mini going on. Here's the latest, the camouflaged Mini Cooper JCW E Prototype that will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed for a run up the hill, introduced to us six weeks after Mini showed us a camouflaged internal-combustion Cooper JCW. And, if you'll remember, Mini showed an electric version of the new Cooper SE JCW last December. This JCW is going to rock more juice down electric avenue, though, the automaker saying there's an "advanced electric powertrain ... with cutting-edge technology" hiding under the skin. The expectation is that the JCW E will use the same 54.2-kWh battery as in other Minis, but its front-mounted motor will make more than the 215 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque applied to the Cooper SE and Cooper SE JCW. Brand execs told Autocar that engineers worked to maintain a "go-kart feeling," imparting similar sensations to the gas-powered JCW, the electric version's greater weight getting necessitating larger wheels and wider tires to improve grip. A stiffer suspension and larger brakes should also be involved. And although the new architecture can support a dual-motor powertrain, there seems little chance of that happening. Same as the gas-powered Mini, the red and white camo is an homage to the red and white color schemes used in the 1960s for Minis in motorsports. The "37" logo commemorates the #37 Mini Cooper winning the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo. Across the windshield, "Bulldog Racing" touts the team that won its class in this year's Nurburgring 24-Hour race with a new camo'ed Mini. After the Mini JCW E's Prototype's run up the hill next weekend, the automaker says the global reveal comes in autumn this year.
