For your consideration is this California Registered and Titled, the Right Hand
Drive, (RHD), 1967
Austin Mini Cooper, imported from New Zeeland, few years
back

An actual 1988 Model with 13 inch Wheels: Wheel Arch/s and the 1275 CC
rebuilt engine and a SOLEX carburetor

Past several years, the MINI has gone through major mechanical and cosmetics
repairs, maintenance and upgrades by MINI Obsession in PA and others with most recent work at MINICOMP in CA

All receipt and documents do confirm and highlight all the details, in/s and out/s
of all performed work, upgrades
and tasks, including new overhauled engine, new cylinder head, overhauled transmission new clutch, new starter, new alternator, new cooling system with new water pump, radiator and electric fan, new heater and heater fan, new distributor, new front and rear brakes, brake booster etc; new tie-rods and suspensions with majority of front end components repaired and/or replaced as needed


During owner’s recent cross country cruse/vacation, from Newport Rhode Island to Laguna Beach California, they claim that they we were able to get an average fuel consumption of 37-38 MPG while cruising at an average 70 MPH freeway speed!

The MINI does run perfect!   It starts every single time, with the manual choke's help, even after 3 months of left alone and, when warmed-up it cruises real nice!
A real peppy and head-turner!


The only two needed and silly cosmetic items are the roof ANTENA and the driver side roof edge trim as
both items were Broke/Thorn by the silly automatic car wash machine. The Fuel Gauge has mind of its own, kind of ON & OFF scenario where
all Lights, Switches and other gauges perform and function as they should
The after market stere6/sound system sounds awesome

When the MINI got repainted with all the usual moisture trap surface rusts and/or corrosion/s were fixed-up properly, the owner decided to repaint the two white straps just slightly different than the usual MINI/s, using the old muscle car configurations
Many folks may object his decision; however, it is an easy fix!


We have described this cute and peppy MINI to the best possible understanding and, may have forgotten some stuff, therefore please do ask all your questions, as well as the in- person inspection prior to the AUCTION's end at Portola Hills California with 92679 zip code where the MINI’s garage and

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.

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.

2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible First Drive

Fri, Feb 19 2016

Is there a better place to launch a roofless Mini than Los Angeles in the middle of winter? Temperatures during the drive event for the new 2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible hovered in the mid-80s, and (a begrudging thanks to CARB here) there was only a thin haze to attenuate the sun. Moreover, the sprawled-out and uniquely Californian metropolis doesn't seem to hem in the longer, broader, ever so slightly taller Convertible. Even if you don't necessarily enjoy vehicles that inherently make a statement, driving a Cooper S Convertible around this style-conscious town at least attunes your sensibilities to the Mini norm. Since there isn't much mechanically or stylistically to differentiate the new Convertible from its Hardtop fraternal twin, we can cover the basics quickly. The exterior sheetmetal is, for better or worse, not much different. That means the large proboscis – a nod to pedestrian impact standards and a variety of other engineering and safety concerns – and longer rear overhang carry over. The jutting underbite and slightly walleyed headlight stance exaggerate how bulbous the front end has become with each subsequent generation. Taken in isolation, the Mini Convertible is still undeniably cute, but the English bulldog vibe is slowly being pushed out of the corporate design language as each new Mini is gently inflated. At some point, we'll hit the bursting point. The Mini Convertible is still undeniably cute, but the English bulldog vibe is slowly being pushed out of the corporate design language. Even in the space-compromised Mini Convertible, total cargo area increases by 25 percent to a useful 7.6 cubic feet maximum. The Easy-Load function, which props up the back edge of the soft top on a pair of spindly plastic struts, is a bit fussy but helps get awkward items in and out of the surprisingly deep cargo area. Smaller or soft luggage should go in without issue. Larger items might be better suited for the back seat. If you're buying a four-seat convertible, you should be prepared for these compromises ahead of time. Speaking of time, the top's operation is reasonably quick. It takes 18 seconds to raise or lower the top, at up to 18 mph. It was fast enough for a stoplight change to test out the situation with the lid on. If you've ever been in a last-generation Mini 'Vert, it's about the same – big blind spots mar the view, but it's remarkably quiet.
