Hello fellow eBayers! I am listing my 1961 Mini Traveller. I just purchased a dream car of mine so I am letting my summer family fun car go because I can't keep everything.

I purchased the car from a great friend and well respected member of the vintage car community here on Long Island NY. He kept the car in his climate controlled basement for over 30 years. He bought the car of the original owner in Vermont that was moving too Texas and could not bring the Mini with him. My friend brought it back to Long Island where he spent almost 3 decades restoring the car starting with a motor swap from the 850 to the twin carb 1275 motor with twin SU carbs. He said the paint was faded and the wood needed varnishing so he redid all the cosmetics. When I got the car he admitted he never actually drove the car! Just restored it to almost done and that was how I got it. I then went through all the mechanicals so that it could be a fun reliable family hauler. I will break the car down into sub categories to give the most accurate and easy to follow rundown on this sweet Mini.

The Body and paint- the car is restored to be between what people call a "driver" and a show car. While as you can see the car is quite nice it's not to nice to the point you can't use it. It has some minor scratches and some touch ups but it's meant to be driven not just stared at. The car has a beautiful deep red luster and bright chrome work. The bumpers have some minor dings but again I am giving an honest description. I cannot find any evidence of rot or rusted out panels. The floors are rock solid and what you would expect from looking at the top.

The Suspension- the shocks look new I believe they are Koni's all around. The car is the cliche "handles like a go kart" kind of car. A great entrance ramp or canyon carver vehicle!

The Wheels and Tires- this past summer I fitted a brand new set of high performance Falken tires all around on its refinished 1969 period correct date coded made in England Dunlop rims. These are very cool and VERY light. I will also include 8 stock wheels that need paint and 5 brand new still with the sticker on them tires for these wheels. I also will include 4 Cooper S hubcaps.

The Engine- The 1275cc engine really makes this car. The car impresses all and most of all the driver. It will light the tires up from a stop and make all the admirers at any intersection wonder "what the heck was that and boy did it just take off!" It has great oil pressure and does not leak or smoke. Solid. It starts right up cold or hot. I rebuilt the twin SU, generator, had the radiator redone, new water pump, tune up and any bugs were sorted this past summer.

Included with the car is the original 850 motor and 4 Speed if you want to go slow or just horde stuff like me.

The Brakes- this past summer I installed new front wheel cylinders and shoes and rebuilt the rears. The master cylinder was also rebuilt. The brakes are working as they should but if I were to get more serious about spirited driving I would suggest a front upgrade to disc. End of story they work fine and shouldn't give any issue as I went through them.

The Transmission and Clutch- the hydraulics were recently rebuilt and the car engages smoothly and shifts well with no grinding up or downshifting. I have a lot of spare parts including a cool old "magic wand" style shifter. Anything I have mini goes to the buyer.

The Interior- The black interior is in excellent condition with all new carpets and S style door panels. The front seats were updated to later ones with headrests (my friend opted for safety over style not me :-) the black headliner has a couple tears in it but I purchased a brand new headliner kit from Mini Mania that comes with the car. I don't know how familiar you are with Mini cars but they are quite easy to work on...and fun!

The "Electronics"- no navigation or on star on this one! Everything it has though works. All lights right down to the illuminated turn signal stalk...(so cute) The variable speed heater blower, the horn, wipers...everything works as designed. The Generator is rebuilt and the charging system is working correctly.

The Summary- this is a great fun honest sorted car. Please bid to own. I started this car with no reserve this means high bidder wins it. For those who "have" to have it I believe my buy it now number is the real value.

I have boxes of spare parts that come with the car. I even have an Austin 1275 drivetrain with a automatic on it that could be installed for those who don't want to drive stick. Again this is a great car that is loved wherever it goes and seems to even make sad, angry, hostile and otherwise dysfunctional people smile and enjoy the rest of their day (really!)

Any bidders with less than 10 feedback MUST email me and let me know they are serious prior to bidding. Let's make this a fun sale and good luck!

Electric Mini tows a Boeing 777 airplane, because why not?

Fri, May 31 2019

Car manufacturers seem to love hitching up to massive planes. Even Mini is getting onboard with the trend, and it's using a camouflaged version of the electric Mini on its way. Now, we saw the Mini Cooper S E completely uncovered a few days ago in spy photos, so make sure to check those out to see what the car will really look like. If it's the plane pulling you're after, watch the video above. Mini collaborated with Lufthansa on this one. The airliner provided a Boeing 777F freight aircraft for the stunt. That airplane has an unladen weight of approximately 150 tons, or just about 300,000 pounds. Needless to say, it's safely over whatever towing rating Mini is going to give its electric car. This Mini doesn't pull the airplane far, but it's enough to prove the brand's point: Electric equals lots of torque. Like we mentioned before, others have pulled off a similar stunt. A few notable examples include the Toyota Tundra towing the space shuttle for 12 miles, Porsche hauling an Airbus 380 with various Cayennes and then a Tesla Model X pulling a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The Model X is most like Mini's stunt, since it's also an electric vehicle. We'll note that the airplane towed by the Mini is also far lighter than that towed by the Tesla. Still, to have enough torque and traction to move a 300,000-pound airplane is impressive, and if nothing else, it's entertaining to watch. Reports have indicated that the new electric Mini will share the BMW i3's powertrain and battery pack, so that means it may have required only 168 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque to pull this off.

The Mini John Cooper Works Rally is set for Dakar

Wed, Nov 16 2016

In recent years, there have been convincing Minis tailored for rallying: Dakar wins were accumulated with gusto. Now there is a new version for 2017, named the Mini John Cooper Works Rally. Its debut will be the 2017 Dakar Rally running through Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. The new rally car has been built with experience gathered from rallying the earlier Mini All4 Racing, and it's based on the Countryman. Key areas reworked were the aerodynamics and the weight distribution to enable a lower center of gravity. As X-raid (Mini's motorsports partner) CEO Sven Quandt puts it: "The center of gravity has gone down substantially – we placed about 50 kilos [110 pounds] downwards by some 50 centimeters [19.7 inches] in the center of the car, which helps the handling and makes the car much more comfortable over all types of terrain, and aids the handling on a rally track with lots of corners." There is a new chassis frame, and the powertrain benefits from an updated engine mapping and thermal management. The interior has also been redone. Speaking of the powertrain, the Cooper Works Rally runs a 3.0-liter straight six from BMW's turbodiesel portfolio. In this guise, the TwinPower unit produces 340 horsepower at 3,250 rpm and a very respectable 590 lb ft of torque from 1,850 rpm. The retained ALL4 four-wheel-drive system has a six-speed SADEV sequential gearbox, together with lockable, oil-cooled Xtrac diffs with a central SADEV unit. The 2017 Dakar Rally runs from January 2-14. Related Video:
