Up for auction is a GENUINE Austin Cooper S. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. The car is a original California car with all original panels. This car has never been rusted and has all original floors panels, wings etc. I purchased the car from Bill G. (owner of Mincomp Racing is Costa Mesa, Ca). He owned this car from 1970-2009. I purchased the car in 2009 and Mincomp restored it for me. I have only put 1300 miles on this car since the restoration was completed in summer of 2013. I hate to sell it but I want to fund another project. Here are the details of the build. 1380cc A+ engine rebuilt. Bottom end was rebuilt by 7 Enterprises. The head is a Kieth Calver Super Sports head (ported, polished with high quality valves, springs etc) Mincomp camshaft, 9.75:1 compression ratio, 1.5 ratio rockers, ARP head bolts, main bearing strap, ARP rod bolts, AP clutch etc. The best part of the engine is the Specialist Components throttle body fuel injection. This setup eliminates the distributor with a crank fire ignition and coil pack. It gives you more power with exceptional reliability and driveability. (I still have the 1.5" twin Su carbs) The exhaust is a steel LCB with a stainless RC40 twin box exhuast. The gearbox is a NEW OLD STOCK Jack Knight 5 speed. It has straight cut gears and a Quaife limited slip differential. This gearbox is considered the best by most Mini experts and makes a nice difference when cruising on the highway. This gearbox cost me over $5,000.00 and you would have a heck of a time finding one new now days. The RPMs are lowered about 500 RPMs in 5th at highway speeds. Note: The original Cooper S engine is still at Mincomp Racing. It is included with the car but you will have to arrange shipping. The body was completely stripped and re painted in the orignal Almond Green. The white roof is a little brighter than the Old English White. The car was completely disassembled for painting. (all glass, every nut, engine, interior, fuel tanks, subframes etc were removed) The car was block sanded to ensure straightness and the paint quality is outstanding. There are no sctratches or chips anywhere. There was a small crank in the paint near the driver side rear roof gutter that has been touched up. I cannot show this in the photos because it is so minor. The flares are the orignal Special Tuning flares (not copies) and they are secured with stainless hardware. The interior has a coat of Lizard Skin for sound deadening. It works like Dynamat but it is more effective. Interior: All guages have been restored including a period correct Smiths accessory tachometer. Heater box has been restored in the correct textured black paint. All new carpet, recovered seats, all new interior panels. The front seats are from a 60s Datsun roadster. They sit lower and are more supportive than the original seats. The steering wheel is a Mota Lita Cooper Signature model. Suspension: Gaz adjustable shocks, coil spring conversion (converted from wet to dry suspension in the 70s), Special Tuning rear swaybay and Hi- Los. Front and rear subframes were re painted and re built. Make no mistake this is one of the best Cooper S that money can buy. The car is very quick and it handles great. I am selling this car for what I think is a fair price. Do not tell me what others are going for because you can't compare most of them to this one. I want this car to go to a good home and I am not desperate to sell it so don't make any ridiculous offers. The car is British so the gearbox leaks a little oil when it sits and the driver side tail light is inoperable. (brake and turn signal work) Mike Kearney from 7 Enterprises has driven this car so he can tell you how nice it is. I have a Heritage Trust certificate showing the car is a real Cooper S. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 443-226-FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO On Jun-18-14 at 04:22:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Wheels are 10 x 6 GENUINE Minilites with Yokohame 008 165/70-10 tires. If you require shipping you must arrange it. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime since I will be selling this car using other resources. Please keep in mind that this car has been completely restored but it is still a used car. No warranties expressed or implied. |

BMW's Mini plant closes for 4 weeks for the Brexit that didn't happen
Mon, Apr 1 2019LONDON — BMW's Mini plant in Britain is closing for four weeks starting Monday in a move planned over a half year ago to help the company deal with any disruption resulting from Brexit, which has since been delayed. The German carmaker, which builds just over 15 percent of Britain's 1.5 million cars, moved its annual summertime shutdown to April to "minimize the risk of any possible short-term parts-supply disruption in the event of a no-deal Brexit." But Britain's departure from the EU has now been pushed back from March 29 until at least April 12 or potentially much later, scuppering the timing of major contingency plans for some carmakers. Shutdowns are organized far in advance so employee holidays can be scheduled and suppliers can adjust volumes, making them hard to move. "This is what our company and our workforce have planned for over many months, and it is fixed into our business planning," said a BMW spokesman. It represents the latest headache for Britain's once roaring car sector which had been on track for record production but since 2017 has posted sharp falls in sales, output and investment. The overwhelmingly foreign-owned industry has become increasingly incredulous as a stable and attractive investment environment descends into one of its deepest political crises, risking the free and frictionless trade the sector relies on. BMW's Rolls-Royce factory in Goodwood will close for two weeks whilst Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) three car plants and engine facility and Honda's Swindon facility will also shut for a few days this month as part of Brexit contingencies. It has been a turbulent few months for the sector after Nissan canceled plans to build a new sport utility vehicle at its English Sunderland plant and Honda said it would shutter its plant in 2021 in the biggest blow to the sector for years. Toyota provided a rare boost when it announced plans to build cars for Suzuki at its English car plant. BMW, which is also closing its central English Hams Hall engine facility and Swindon press shop and sub-assembly site for four weeks, has said it could move some engine and Mini output out of Britain if there is not an orderly Brexit. Carmakers face a number of risks if there is a disorderly Brexit, including delays to the supply of ports and finished models, new customs bureaucracy, the need to recertify models and an up to 10 percent tariff on finished vehicles.
New Mini to bow on Nov. 18, on Alec Issigonis' birthday
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Miniacs, note November 18 on your calendar. That's when the all-new Mini Hardtop will debut. Now, this might not be a great deal of news, after all, we already showed you the car, codenamed F56, a few weeks ago. But this full unveiling should bring with it even more detailed exterior images, a full look at the cabin and if we're lucky, performance numbers.
History buffs will also note that November 18 is the birthday of Sir Alec Issigonis. It was Issigonis that penned the original idea for the Mini on a cocktail napkin, envisioning a car with a transversely mounted engine, the wheels pushed out to all four corners and plenty of cabin space for occupants. That car had a remarkably small footprint and was quite efficient, perfect for tackling the fuel shortages brought on by the Suez Crisis in 1959's Great Britain. An unintended side-effect of its design was that it was also an absolute hoot to drive.
The November 18 debut will take place at Mini's home, Plant Oxford, in the UK. Following that, November 20 will see a near-simultaneous debut at both the Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show. We'll be on hand to bring you all the details.
