1974 Austin Mini

Right Hand Drive
"Kieth's conversion" convertible. Which means it tarted out as a hard top coupe. Then the roof was cut off and made into a convertible and a roll bar was added by a company in England called Kieth's conversions". 

1000cc engine. Needs rings (puffs blue smoke). But it comes with a spare 1100cc engine known to be in good condition. I just never got around to swapping it out. 

It has a few rust bubbles here and there, the driver door sags, and there's some rust at the door sill. But the floors, trunk, and rest of the body is all pretty solid. The convertible top is serviceable. The cloth interior is from a 25th anniversary model. It's a bit sun faded. But has no rips, tears, or seam separations. Overall it's a fair condition daily driver. It runs, drives, and stops. 

It has the upgraded to the 8-gallon gas tank, wheel flare kit, and 13" wheels/tires. Comes with a spare set of 12" Minilite wheels, a spare gauge pod, and a stereo. (I have both cassette and CD players. Let me know which one you want). 

I imported this fun little gem from England a few years ago for my wife as a family fun runabout (holds 4 people easily) and weekend country driveer. It was also an economical daily driver since it gets 30 mpg. The kids LOVED to ride around in it. But now they're teenagers and have better things to do besides riding around with mom and dad on the weekends, plus the wife rarely drives it anymore, and I need the money to put into the next project in the garage.  

For an extra $1000, I will install the replacement engine and stereo for you. 

Sold as-is with no warrantee offered, expressed, or implied. 

Buyer responsible for pick up or shipping.

Mini testing new JCW on the Nurburgring Nordschleife

Tue, 27 May 2014

Mini fans have had plenty to chew on lately. In the past month alone, the Anglo-Saxon automaker revealed its quirky, one-off Paceman Adventure pickup and dazzled showgoers over the weekend at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este with the Superleggera Vision concept. But what enthusiasts (to say nothing of dealers) have been really waiting for since the debut of the new Mini hatchback late last year has been the new John Cooper Works performance model. And that's just what we have here.
Spied undergoing testing at the Nürburgring, this JCW prototype looks about ready for production, but is still keeping its front end under wraps. We can still discern the larger front intakes and bigger brakes with red calipers front and rear, and while the rear bumper is still stock, the wheels are definitely JCW: similar to those worn by the John Cooper Works Concept unveiled in Detroit a few months ago, they look more like five-spoke versions of the outgoing GP model's four-spoke units than the BBS-style alloys of the last John Cooper Works hatchback.
The new JCW is still probably a few months away from debut, but we're expecting around 230 horsepower under the hood when it does arrive.

Mini Rocketman back on the table, might go aluminum

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Mini just doesn't want its Rocketman concept to die. It unveiled the truly mini model at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and since then, there have been countless on-again, off-again rumors about the possibility of it going into production. If the latest talk proves true, a smaller vehicle like the Rocketman might make it into the automaker's lineup after all, as competitor to other stylish city cars like the Smart ForTwo.
According to the company's head of design, Anders Warming, speaking to Auto Express, Mini likes the idea of having a smaller model in its lineup, but it has to figure out a way of actually making it work. Warming is clear that the next iteration of the Rocketman concept (or whatever it's called then) won't be seen until a design is ready.
There are still plenty of challenges keeping a production Rocketman off of the city streets of the world, and chief among them continues to be finding a platform. But Mini is at least considering it. "At the moment, we don't have the right tech solutions, but we are working on it. We don't yet have a final solution, you could say," said Warming to Auto Express. He also thinks the final version would drop the concept's carbon fiber in favor of more aluminum components.

BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt

Wed, Aug 30 2017

A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.
