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.

Car Club USA: Minis On Top

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Car Club USA heads to New Hampshire for Minis On Top, an annual Mini owner event at the base of Mt. Washington. Owners meet, greet, and compete for best of show honors, and then make the thrilling ascent to the top of Mt. Washington. "You get about halfway up the mountain and all the sudden you can't see," remarks one driver of the sometimes treacherous conditions. Events like Minis On Top have been bringing together this tight-knit automotive community for years. "When I bought it, I really... didn't know it was a car that came with friends," said Eric Ruiz, one of the event coordinators. "I have no idea where my life would be had I not bought that Mini off the dealership floor," said Emily Martian, who struck up a long-distance relationship with fellow Mini driver Steve Nikitopoulos at another owner event. "So, yes, technically Minis brought us together." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. MINI Driving Ownership Car Club USA Videos Original Video

2014 Mini Cooper S Paceman [w/video]

Not Too Odd, Not Too Maxi. Is This Mini Just Right?
We recently got our first time behind the wheel of the latest iteration of the Mini Countryman, the 215-horsepower John Cooper Works model, and were left less than enthused despite the inherent fun factor that a JCW badge brings. Our time with the crossover suggests the Countryman is just too weighty and soft to properly wear the badge.
We have also spent loads of time in various Mini Clubman trims and, despite the oddity of its configuration, this model may be our overall favorite in the current Mini lineup. But it is decidedly not a volume seller, which Mini needs.

7 major automakers to build open EV charging network

Wed, Jul 26 2023

A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not.  "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche.  In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure.  "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.
