2006 Mini Cooper Convertible Salvage Title 69k on 2040-cars
Springfield, Massachusetts, United States
I am sure I am close to having her running. This vehicle is cranking, windows, lights, power locks work. horn, Radio powers on! Picked up a cam sensor today and have not installed it yet.
I purchased the car just about a year ago. It came from New Jersey with as a Salvage title (flood). TItle in hand, processed now by State of Massachusetts. I was happy the day of delivery. My electrical engineer friend gave me my stamp of approval and told me I bought a solid car. Upon first encountering water the interior was removed, the majority of the interior is now back in place. There is no odor. (If there ever was a correct way to address a car that took on water this is it.) -popped in a new NAPA battery. At the time, I could not get the dash to light up. Purchased a New Fuse box. Still no dash lights. Purchased matching car computer. still nothing. New ECU from ebay still nothing. Tax seasons came. Got it out of winter storage, and to a local shop. All the cars electrical has been gone over with a fine tooth comb. All connectors have been sprayed and cleaned.Dash lights on:), more parts later Cranking.. Catch up on the bill. grrr. Part comes. Not getting fire to the plugs. Do test I found online on mini forum and test confirms no spark. Another part coil, still no..put in new plugs ..nothing ahh..:( If it is not a this cam sensor or wires (did not pick them up yet) there is a code that is the last 5 digits of the vin. that i need to put in off the new computer from ebay? I don't know but could use the cash more and finish the work on my home.Looks like someone else can get the satisfaction of cruising this down the road. If I got it rolling I was going to toss a new exhaust on her. there is a small hole in but had it on the lift and it is a solid car. just stumped. If you are handy. you can be the genius! Would be a nice vehicle for someone. That computer new from the dealer is 1,400. I priced it. Thought of maybe getting new one or one in it flashed cause it is good. It wanted to run and like the new computer said oops new computer "do not reconize". 100% rating by the way! Thanks for looking. When i get the cash, the title will be overnighted. Shipping must happen 48 hours after payment. Have receipts for work that is already been done. Will have to gather it up. Plus crank sensor registered official mini dealer. Message me with any specific questions. Will try to take more pics and add them if it does not sell this 1st time around. As is, no warranty. Buyer will be responsible for shipping. Have around 10,000-10,500 invested. Message me with any questions. Thanks for shopping! Going to take some more photos this weekend if it did not sell yet? Have a feeling it should be a quick sell! |

Mini STRIP gets Paul Smith's help with graceful sustainability
Sun, Aug 15 2021For the 40th anniversary of the original Mini in 1999, British designer Paul Smith created a vintage two-door Mini overlaid with the multicolored stripes he's known for. You can buy still buy a set of his "Artist Stripe" Mini-Car Cufflinks at the Paul Smith site. For Mini's newest collaboration with the knighted Royal Designer for Industry, the partnership dropped the "e" from "stripe" to create the one-off Mini STRIP concept. Given the tagline "Sustainable design with a twist," if you wanted to show off the possibility of combining high design with unprocessed, renewable materials, the Mini STRIP is a sensational way to do it. The project started with the steel bodyshell of a battery-electric Mini Cooper SE. Everything added to the shell needed to satisfy the themes of simplicity, transparency, and sustainability, which meant eliminating anything that could be eliminated, and rethinking the materials and forms of the rest. Outside, the STRIP bears its naked steel, complete with the grinding marks from the finishing process. There's naught but a layer of transparent paint to shield the metal against corrosion. The duller, contrasting hue in places like the front and rear apron and hood intake are from 3D-printed parts. The grille trim has been fashioned from recycled Perspex, same as the panoramic roof and the aero covers on the wheels. The silver screw heads in the black trim are intended to highlight and ease the process of dismantling the car when it's time for bits to be recycled. The only color outside is a splash of neon green that hides under the charging port cap. The cabin hardware is nothing but the indispensable, lightly trimmed. Smith insisted on painting the steel shell a vivid blue. The instrument panel is a single semi-transparent piece, a smartphone replacing Mini's usual large center gauge. The only switchgear consists of five toggles hanging above the area that's clearly missing its center tunnel. The dash and upper door pads, plus the sun visors, are made from recycled cork without any synthetic filler. The door pulls are wound climbing cord, the door openers made of milled, recyclable aluminum, same as the steering wheel spokes. The seat surfaces and piping are knitted fabric, tying in with mesh panels used on the lower doors, the airbags running along the roof, and the cover over the airbag in the steering wheel. That wheel is wrapped in bicycle tape, a nod to Smith's taste for cycling.
This Mini just set a very long Nurburgring lap record
Fri, Nov 4 2016The video above is 45 minutes long. You probably won't watch the whole thing. It documents what is possibly the least visually exciting and most impressive Nurburgring record ever, with a Chinese driver keeping a Mini Cooper on two wheels for the entirety of a Nordschleife lap. That's 12.9 miles at a blistering average speed of 17 mph. The number of support vehicles seen on track, some of which pass the Mini at various points, highlights just how nonstandard this lap is. A Mercedes van trailing behind stops at one point and then catches back up shortly after. This is an endurance run more than anything. Credit of course goes to the skilled driver, who had to balance the car on its left wheels while enduring the pain of leaning at a steep angle. For 45 minutes. The car was specially prepped, with things like a welded diff and an airless left front tire (it looks like something off a fork lift) helping it steer, propel, and support the car. Bridge to Gantry's Dale Lomas was there to witness the leisurely event, and he has all of the details, including what was done to the car and what it was like to travel from viewing location to viewing location to witness the same lap. The driver, Han Yue, is an expert at manhandling Minis. He's the guy with the Guinness record for the tightest parallel-parking job (not to be confused with the tightest reverse parallel park) and also set with a driver in an M4 doing donuts around his up-on-two-wheels Cooper. We find it extremely fitting that the car for this latest record was plastered with Red Bull decals. You know, the wings?

2021 Mini Cooper S Sidewalk Edition priced just under $40,000
Thu, Mar 26 2020Earlier this year, Mini announced the return of the Sidewalk Edition visual package for the 2021 Mini Convertible, one that appeared way back in 2007 with the first drop-top Mini. Now pricing has been announced at a base price of $39,250, and it will arrive at dealer lots in April. While the number of examples is limited in some markets, 150 in the U.K. for example, Mini hasn't announced a cap for American sales. Part of the high price is due to the fact that the special edition is only being offered on the Cooper S trim level, whereas in Europe, it will be available on various trims down to the entry-level Mini One. That means the U.S. version comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four making 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. It will come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, but a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic will be available for an additional $1,500, pushing the price past the $40,000 mark. The package is available with either a dark metallic blue or a black paint job with a dark gray top. European models get a few more color options. All models come with custom wheels, badging and a leather interior to match the top. It also includes several optional features as standard including a heads-up display, 8.8-inch infotainment system, heated seats, automatic climate control, auto-dimming mirrors, upgraded sound system, LED headlights and fog lights and proximity locking and unlocking.
