The item up for your consideration today is a 1963 Austin Mini. This car was imported to the U.S. from New Zealand in early 2001. I purchased the car from the import agent on Ebay shortly thereafter. In the twelve years that I've owned the car, many updates and improvements have been made. They include the roof panel being painted in Old English White. The addition of and later removal of Brand New genuine Minilite (4.5X10) wheels and new Kuhmo 145-R10 tires followed, which go with the car. Several years later I decided to go back to the original look. I then had the stock 3.5 x 10 steel wheels blasted and powder coated, and shod with another set of new Kuhmo 145-R10 tires that are on the car now. I've also replaced the 850 cc engine with a highly desirable 998 cc Cooper engine with the 12G295 cylinder head and then detailed the engine compartment. About the same time, the interior was all redone in the original pattern with the exception of the headliner which is in excellent original condition. Deluxe bumpers with over riders and corner bars were added to complete the Mk I series appearance.
 
  This is the genuine article, period correct 1963 Mk I Mini. It has all of the character traits of the day such as slide-by door windows, mustache grill, external door hinges, internal pull cords, push button starter, and small tail lights. It also has all of the New Zealand documentation and some details specific to the Minis built there. Some of these are amber colored rear turn signals and riveted body trim. The dealer added heater unit by National Radiator Co. is currently not working. There is a New Zealand number plate on the front AF6390, and last but not least, it is a right hand drive.
 
  Over the years the car has been very dependable and a lot of fun to drive. It starts, runs, drives, and stops very well. The car has received the best of care and pampering during my ownership. It is also very clean and free of rust as can be seen in the pictures. It has won many awards at local and regional shows as well as one national show at Rockford, IL. Those trophy's however, are not included.
 
 As mentioned before, the Minilite wheels and tires along with all the hardware, spacers, lug nuts and studs for the rear wheels are included. Also included are four repair manuals, a huge stack of Mini, Mini World and Practical Classics magazines plus two boxes of new, spare and old parts. Mini owners never throw old parts away. A high quality indoor/ outdoor custom fit car cover recently purchased from MiniMania is also included.
 
  I live in Stevens Point, Wisconsin  54482 (central part of the state) and will assist your shipper as much as I can. I require a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end to my PayPal account and the remaining balance in the form of a Cashiers Check before the car is released. The car does have a clean and clear WI title. Please email me for my phone number if you have any questions. I also have countless other photos, too many to put in this auction which can be emailed to you.
 
Thank you for looking at my auction.

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Mini's Oxford factory builds its 10 millionth car

Fri, Aug 9 2019

Mini has a lot to celebrate in 2019. The original, pocket-sized city car that spawned the entire brand made its debut 60 years ago, and its historic factory in Oxford, England, made its 10 millionth vehicle in August. The zesty hatchback is already on its way to meet its biggest fans. Fittingly, the milestone car is a limited-edition 60 Years-badged model. It's based on the two-door Cooper S, so its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is turbocharged to 192 horsepower, and it receives several edition-specific touches like brown leather upholstery with green accents, an array of special decals and logos, plus 17-inch alloy wheels designed for the model. The 10 millionth Oxford-built car isn't destined for a life spent in a museum or in a private collection. At least not yet. It's already hit the road as part of a 61-car convoy making the 84-mile trip from the Oxford factory to Bristol to attend the International Mini Meet taking place August 11. The first Mini built, a white Morris Mini-Minor, is at the head of the pack. It's followed by an example made during every year of the model's unusually long production run. And what a run it was. There were 5.3 million examples of the original Mini made between 1959 and 2000, but not all of them were manufactured in Oxford, and none were sold under the Mini brand. Parent company BMW created Mini as we know it in late 2000 when it launched the first-generation Cooper (the car now known as the Hardtop). Its numerous predecessors were given more than a dozen names including Austin Seven, Austin Mini, Innocenti Mini, Morris 850, Riley Elf, and Rover Mini.

2024 Mini Hardtop has fun in the snow before its unveiling

Wed, Mar 23 2022

Mini is nearly ready to unveil the first member of the next-generation Hardtop family. It will introduce the two-door hatchback variant in 2022, and it released official spy shots showing a test mule in a frozen part of Sweden to give us a better idea of what to expect from the car. The BMW-owned firm stresses that the prototype shown on frigid Swedish roads is fully electric, though it stopped short of publishing any technical details. We're expecting that the plucky little hatchback will offer users more horsepower and more range than the current Cooper SE. And, there's no word yet on whether the line-up will include versions powered by an internal-combustion engine for buyers who are not interested in going electric. We've reached out to the company for more information, and we'll update this story if we learn more. It's clear that the next Hardtop’s proportions havenÂ’t significantly changed; it remains recognizable as a member of the Mini line-up, but designers have reimagined many key styling cues. Spy shots of a completely camouflage-free prototype taken in December 2021 reveal evolutionary updates made to the front end and a reimagined rear end characterized by angular lights connected by a black piece of trim. At first glance, it looks like the modern-day Mini is in for the biggest makeover since BMW rebooted the model at the turn of the millennium. More details about the next-generation Mini Hardtop will emerge in the coming months, and we expect to see the model make its debut before the end of 2022. It will later be joined by a four-door hatchback and a two-door convertible (Mini has confirmed it wonÂ’t leave the drop-top segment). Meanwhile, the company is sending off the current Hardtop by releasing a number of design-led limited-edition models. While the Hardtop stands proud as the car that MiniÂ’s image is pegged on, the segment of the market that it competes in is shrinking on a regular basis. Buyers prefer crossovers to hatchbacks, even across the pond. To that end, Mini is also working on the next-generation Countryman — which could be its biggest and most powerful model — and it announced plans to show a new crossover concept in 2022.
