Fully restored and sorted car that needs nothing other than to be enjoyed and driven.   Over $12,000.00 was spent on a professional rotisserie restoration to the body (see pictures for full details
of the bodywork done).   There is no filler whatsoever in the body and it is as absolutely as perfect and rust free of an early Mini as you will ever find.  Stunning black base coat/clear coat paint
with yellow stripes has been on the car for over 15 years and looks as good today as it did the day it was done.  You will not find nicer paint or bodywork on an early mini.

The motor is a .040 over 1275 built by George Bauchman of Midwest Motorsports and it is built to as hot of a street motor as can possibly be built and still run on pump gas.   Pistons are Hepolite cast pistons with 10:1 compression and the head and cam were done by George and it has his limited prep H production cam.  The motor makes an estimated 100 to 105 horsepower and it is a very streetable motor that pulls smoothly from 2000rpm all the way to 7000rpm and has all ARP hardware throughout and is on a 45DCOE Weber and Aldon distributor for better driveability.   

The gearbox is a rod change and has a limited slip differential installed and puts the power down through 10" Revolution wheels and Yokohama A008 tires.

The brake lines are all -3 braided teflon lines with an adjustable in-line Tilton blade adjuster unit.

Virtually every nut and bolt was new when the car was restored in 2002, and every suspension piece was either nickel plated or zinc plated (see pictures)  All suspension components are fully adjustable
from Mini Mania.

The car has an 8 gallon ATL fuel cell (with sending unit to dash guage), plus high output fuel pump and Holley fuel pressure regulator.

There is a custom fully carpeted interior with matching Corbeau seats, and Autometer gauges.   All lights and electrics work perfectly.   

The car was built as a hot street car that could be enjoyed as is and also occasionally be autocrossed.   If someone desired, it could also easily be converted to a vintage race car with the addition of a roll cage.

There is well over $35,000 invested in this car and it is ready to go and enjoy.

Mini reveals new John Cooper Works concept ahead of Detroit

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

BMW effectively hit the reset button when it unveiled the new Mini at the LA Auto Show last month, opening the door to a whole raft of new variants to follow - and this is the first.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month is the new Mini John Cooper Works Concept, a show car that previews the next hot hatch from the Anglo-Saxon automaker. Mini isn't saying much about what makes it tick, focusing instead of the design that sets it apart from the standard version we've already seen.
This JCW concept features a lustrous grey paintjob with bright red accents, 18-inch alloys and an upgraded aero kit, all aimed at making the Mini look that much sportier. It's got bigger air intakes where the fog lights would be, LED headlamps, a black grille frame, side skirts, a rear bumper with diffuser insert and a roof-mounted spoiler.

2014 Mini John Cooper Works Paceman All4

Thu, 14 Mar 2013

The One Mini Should Have Taken Rallying
It needs to be said: Mini using the Countryman as their World Rally Championship racer's bodystyle of choice has done them no favors on the marketing front. And that's what it's all about in motorsports these days: marketing and image. We have just driven the 2014 Mini John Cooper Works Paceman All4 through Frankfurt's surrounding rural areas, and even in thick snow where few souls dared to tread, it has singularly rekindled some faith in the John Cooper Works sub-brand - a glorious name whose credibility has been threatened by portly and somewhat pointless products like the JCW Countryman.
The JCW Paceman is a little quicker than its Countryman relative, a little lighter, hunkered down lower, and better looking. We can't say we're crazy anymore about the stock Chili Red details and black exterior they keep showing us at these launches, but that's just paint. Then there's that projected pricing of $36k-plus that puts us on the verge of yelling "¡No mas!" But the All4 system on our 215-horsepower Paceman worked extremely well when paired with a set of exceptional Pirelli Sottozero Winter 210 Serie II tires (sized 205/55 R17 91H all around). The combination of all-wheel drive and good rubber encouraged us to gradually up the average speed and enthusiasm the further we drove along.

Mini officially reveals Frozen Black Countryman and Paceman

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

BMW has been offering Frozen editions of its cars for several years now highlighted by matte paint and very limited production, and now Mini is getting in on the game with Frozen Black versions of the Paceman and Countryman. Unlike our report from earlier in the week, these models will not wear the Batman-sounding Black Knight name, but instead, like the BMW models, will be dubbed Frozen Edition. That previous intel also had it that production of the Frozen Edition Minis would be limited to just 60 units. Now official, Mini has not confirmed how many - or few - of these limited edition models it would build.
The Frozen Black paint adds silicates to the lacquer finish creating a "matted impression," which sounds like it should be easier for owners to maintain and wash, although Mini still advises against waxing or polishing. This special paint will be offered on all S, Diesel and John Cooper Works versions of the Paceman and Countryman, though it's not clear as of this writing if any will be offered in the US. Mini's press release for the Frozen Black Paceman and Countryman is posted below.
