Extremely rare US spec LHD factory Mortis Convertible. Restored about 12 years ago but only 350 miles since restoration. Great shape throughout. Just thou roughly serviced after long storage. New carb and brake rebuild. For those unfamiliar, the Morris shares mechanical components with the Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite or MG midget so parts are easily obtained. A great little British convertible that seats 4 people.  The paint, interior and engine bay cosmetics are nice even though done several years ago.   The Morris Minor was the forerunner to the Mini and designed by the great Alec Issigonis who wanted to make a modern family car with the maximum space possible for the interior so 4 adults can sit in comfort.  They became beloved in the UK and most of the colonies as they were great to drive, dependable and had cheeky good looks. Because of this, they were in production from 1948-1971.  The Convertible was one of the rarest and most popular models. Most of the Morris Minor Convertibles out there are either cut down coupes or rusty UK RHD cars.  It is rare to find a real LHD US Spec dry example like this.  For sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Must be Sold!

Terms: Buyer to pay shipping, although I have a good contact for a reasonable rate ($650 to Los Angeles for example)  Of course sold as is where is with no guarantees or warranty. Must be paid for within 5 business days.  Thanks and good luck

BMW recalling 140,000 electric Mini Cooper SEs for battery issue

Tue, Sep 3 2024

BERLIN — German automaker BMW is recalling electric Mini Cooper SE vehicles due to problems in their batteries, which could potentially affect more than 140,000 autos worldwide.  Included in the recall are 12,535 Mini SEs sold in the United States. Around 39,000 vehicles could be affected in Germany, the company said in a statement on Monday, adding that there are no known accidents or injuries caused by the problem. Problems in the battery system can lead to overheating. "A vehicle fire, even when the vehicle is parked, cannot be ruled out," the statement said. There was such a "thermal event" in the U.S. in October 2023, then another in Germany in January 2024. Both have been under investigation. BMW will install a software update in the EVs. The update contains a diagnostic function that will recognize a malfunction of the battery and alerts the driver. The NHTSA recall statement says the software will then somehow discharge the battery to less than a 30% state of charge. Customers who received the message are asked to visit a Mini partner, the company said.

Jaguar ousts Lexus from atop J.D. Power 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

Jaguar has taken the top spot among luxury brands in the 2013 Sales Satisfaction Index, an annual survey conducted by J.D. Power that measures customer satisfaction with the experience of purchasing a new vehicle. The English brand, not even among the top three luxury automakers on the list last year, vaulted ahead of Lexus, which placed third this year after leading the list in 2011 and 2012. Porsche, meanwhile, moved into second place.
The rankings are based on a point score out of 1,000, with Jaguar earning 740 points, Porsche right behind with 739 and Lexus with 737. Volvo, meanwhile, made the biggest improvement among luxury brands with a 30-point jump to 708, bring it up from 11th place to 9th this year.
J.D. Power has a separate ranking for mass-market brands, and this year Mini again tops the list with a score of 718, far outpacing second-place Buick with a score of 694 and making it the fourth time Mini has lead this list. After Buick, the next two ranked brands are both American and both from General Motors, with Chevrolet and GMC sharing third place with a score of 686.

2020 Mini John Cooper Works GP laps the 'Ring in under 8 minutes

Sun, Jun 23 2019

Mini used the occasion of the Nurburgring 24 Hours race to show off a preproduction version of its upcoming John Cooper Works GP. That's fitting, because the GP — the hottest of Mini's hot hatch offerings — has been honed specifically to conquer the Nordschleife of the famous German track. In fact, Mini says it has already lapped the North Loop in under eight minutes. An official lap time will come later because testing is apparently still underway. But to put that time into perspective, the last version of the JCW GP lapped the 'Ring in 8:23, so the new version could be half a minute faster. That's impressive, even if track performance isn't always the ideal measuring stick for street cars like the GP. We know that the GP will have more than 300 horsepower, but exact power figures have yet to be released. As you can see in the image gallery above, it will have some crazy aerodynamic additions, but probably won't wear a Nurburgring-inspired camouflage wrap when it goes into production in 2020 with a limited run of 3,000 units. And now we know that it will be much faster round the 'Ring than the previous GP — but will it be faster than the lap time of 7 minutes and 43.8 seconds recorded by the Honda Civic Type R? We'll see, but we wouldn't be surprised.
