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! |

2021 Mini John Cooper Works GP spied in clearest photos yet
Mon, Apr 8 2019We suspect we won't have long to wait until we see the new Mini John Cooper Works GP. Why? Well, it seems Mini isn't trying very hard to hide the car. One of our spy photographers caught a prototype testing at the Nurburgring, and the camouflage, while creatively using race track outlines for the pattern, was not particularly effective. As such, we get our best look at the super Mini, and it looks wild. Although they've been tucked closer to the body and shortened, the GP still sports some wild vented overfenders at each corner like the concept. We're very curious what kind of aerodynamic advantage they provide. The front fascia has been toned down substantially and is fitted with much shorter spoilers, but what's left still blends into the front fenders. The rear fascia is similarly toned down with a far less extreme diffuser. But the rear wing is still over the top. It's arguably more interesting than the concept's since the wing is split in the middle. It also has a big "GP" embossed on each side of the wing. Since the Mini John Cooper Works GP Concept made its debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, a production version's reveal at this year's Frankfurt show would be fitting. And considering how close to finished this prototype appears to be, plus Mini's announcement that it will go into production in 2020, a reveal in the early fall seems quite reasonable. It should be a monster of a hatchback, too, since Mini says it will have over 300 horsepower, challenging the likes of the Honda Civic Type R and Ford Focus RS.
BMW looking to save billions with cost cuts
Wed, 18 Jun 2014BMW is planning a fairly extensive overhaul in a bid to recoup some its annual costs, with CEO Norbert Reithofer (pictured above) aiming to save three to four billion euro ($4 to $5.4 billion) per year to help keep the company's profit margins between eight and 10 percent, while also maintaining investments in production expansion and new tech. BMW's profit margins sat at 9.4 percent in 2013.
According to Automotive News Europe, Reithofer is none too pleased about costs at Mini and on the 1 Series, although neither AN nor its source story, from Germany's Manager Magazin, elaborate on what steps could be taken to improve losses on either project. That makes it hard to figure out just where the fat will be trimmed from.
What may happen, though, is that BMW attempts to trim 100 million euros ($135 million) from its German labor costs each year; a solution hinted at a few weeks ago by Germany newspaper Muenchner Merkur. While a dramatic cost reduction, 100 million euros still doesn't begin to even approach the savings envisioned by Reithofer.
Mini Multitone Edition brings triple-color roof to more models
Wed, Aug 31 2022Last year's refreshed Mini line-up introduced the "Multitone" roof for the Mini Cooper SE. It featured three paint colors on the roof that faded into one another. Now that option is available on many more Minis with the Multitone Edition, which also picks up a unique design and trim pieces to accent the fancy top. The Multitone Edition is available on all Mini 3-Door and 5-Door Hardtops as well as the Clubman wagon. The Hardtops are only offered in "Sage Green" while the Clubman only comes in "Indian Summer Red." All of them get a Multitone roof in white, silver and black (the blue and red options from the SE seem to remain exclusive to the little electric hatch). Setting this grayscale roof apart is a set of perpendicular "rainbow" stripes done in a satin clearcoat. This motif is continued around the car where it appears in the two-tone green and red badging on the wheels and fender "scuttles." It also appears on the dashboard and other interior trim. And on the topic of trim, parts that were chrome on regular Mini models are a bright gloss white such as the light surrounds, door handles and fuel filler cap on S models. Two-tone alloy wheels are offered in 17- and 18-inch sizes. Pricing and availability haven't been announced yet. Expect to see the option available sometime this year, and a small premium over whatever trim level it's added to. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
