1976 Mini with 1996 Japanese Market Specifications. RHD
For starters, I have owned this car for a little over a year, and it has been an absolute pleasure to own. A "bucket list" car, but now it is time to move on. I bought as you see it here. Only changes I made was painting the roof white, doing the front brake pads (EBC Greenstuff) and rotors, and adding a K&N air filter. This car drives great. The Single Port Injection is absolutely flawless. It starts instantly, no pumping the gas or messing around with carbs. The clutch is great, the gearbox shifts perfectly. The car leaks nothing and does not smoke. It has not overheated on me on 95+ days with the A/C on. It has just over 47,000 KM, less than 30,000 original miles! When I looked for one of these I had to have A/C living here in Houston, and the A/C works great on this car. Only the Japanese market cars had factory A/C and good percentage were the slush box automatics, this makes this car desirable with the 4 speed and A/C. The exterior is not "concourse". I buy my classics to enjoy and drive. That being said it is very good to excellent driver quality paint. The bumpers are stainless steel and so are the door mirrors. I take this car to the local cruise-in and everyone loves it. These guys with their 100k Camaro's don't stand a chance when I am parked next to them. This car gets all the gawkers. If you hate attention, this is not your car. Glass is all excellent, no chips or scratches. Weather stripping is all soft and pliable along with the window felts. Interior is just about excellent. Someone prior to me had beautiful seat covers and door cards put in with green piping to match the exterior paint. All the gauges work. Beautiful Momo walnut steering wheel with billet spokes and walnut Momo shift knob. Carpet is also in great condition. Burl walnut dash showing a little age, but nothing that detracts from the car. Burl walnut door caps. 12" alloys with like new Yokohama tires. Car has one fuel tank, fuel cap on the passenger side (left side) is legit. Driver's side (right side) is a "dummy" cap Car has genuine HID headlamps. The 4 yellow driving lamps are not hooked up, but do work. I have tested them. Bose speakers are rear parcel shelf. 6 Disc Panasonic CD player underneath the rear seat. You need this as the radio is tuned for stations in the eastern hemisphere. If you want a Mini that you can get in, drive and not worry about getting "road worthy" by all means bid on this car. This is not a "concourse", "for points" car, but is absolutely perfect for a British car show, or any other car show for that matter. The fuel injection and the A/C make this car much more tolerable and "modern" than most classic Minis out there. I know you have already looked at the pictures. You've worked hard this year! Treat yourself to this little stock stuffer a few months early. Email me at baprickett@gmail.com or call me with questions 281-814-8504. You won't be disappointed with this little mini. I'll surely miss it! $500 non-refundable deposit required 24 hours after auction ends. Full payment required within 7 days. If you need help with shipping I will do my best to help you out. Please check with me BEFORE the auction ends. Pre-bid inspections are encouraged and welcomed. Again, do this BEFORE the auction ends. I have nothing to hide here. If you live in Texas, I could possibly deliver it to you for a fee, CHECK WITH ME FIRST! |

2015 Mini Cooper S does best gymkhana impersonation in Malaysia
Fri, 18 Apr 2014Mini Malaysia wants you - at least those of you in Southeast Asia - to know that the new Mini has a riptide of adrenaline and sharp teeth underneath its larger, more ergonomically efficient exterior. To make the point it enlisted the aid of Putrajaya roads, local agency Saatchi & Saatchi Arachnid and four local action sports stars: Fizzy, Shuk, Rizlan and Nasa.
A bog standard Mini Cooper S is the star, its 192-horsepower engine and rollcage-free cabin reinforcing the message that you can do the same thing in a model right off the showroom floor... if you happen to have the same skills as Ivan Khong, the Malaysian Gymkhana Champion behind the wheel. You can read the backstory in the press release and watch how it all comes together in the video below.
Volvo leads and Mini fails in JD Power's Tech Experience Index
Wed, Aug 19 2020New cars are basically rolling computers. Everything from the engine to the infotainment runs on a series of ones and zeros, and a lot of that technology requires input from the driver. So it's no surprise that JD Power has a study designed specifically to discern which bits of tech drivers love and which bits they loathe. "New technology continues to be a primary factor in the vehicle purchase decision," says JD Power's Kristin Kolodge, executive director of driver interaction & human machine interface research. "However, it’s critical for automakers to offer features that owners find intuitive and reliable. The user experience plays a major role in whether an owner will use the technology on a regular basis or abandon it and feel like they wasted their money." The J.D. Power 2020 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) Study found that Volvo owners are happiest with the technology packed inside their vehicles, followed by BMW and Cadillac, all brands that JD Power classifies as premium. The highest-rated mainstream brand is Hyundai, followed by Subaru and Kia. As was the case with the organization's Initial Quality and APEAL studies, Tesla's numbers aren't officially included because they are the only automaker that has not granted JD Power approval to contact its owners in states that require it. Tesla's projected score of 593 would have put it in second place, right behind Volvo's score of 617. The lowest-ranked brand in the TXI Study is Mini, with Porsche right behind. Diving a little bit deeper, JD Power's findings suggest that the technologies new car buyers care most about are related to helping them see their surroundings better. Camera systems, including rear-view mirror cameras and ground-view cameras, scored highest in five of the six satisfaction attributes measured in the study. The technology that owners could really do without? Gesture controls. Owners who answered JD Power's survey say they don't use gesture controls much at all after initially trying them, and they don't really care if their next vehicle has them. We have to wonder if those responses might be what kept BMW out of the top spot. The TXI Study also found that owners are split on automated driving helpers, like lane-keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. JD Power suggests that owners may need more training on those systems before they learn to trust them. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
