NO RESERVE "PROJECT MINI"
1977 Leyland Mini 1000.
Damaged due to drunk driver running off the road, into my sign post and knocking it down on 4 minis.
I have sold 300+ Minis over the past 25 years and there were always tire kickers looking for a "project mini".
I never sold a "project Mini" because those tire kickers never wanted to pay more than $3000 for a running & driving, rust free, "project Mini".
Shipping from NZ was usually $2800+ per Mini and the MINIS WERE NOT FREE. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I NEVER OFFERED "PROJECT MINIS" FOR $3000!
AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF NOT SELLING "PROJECT MINIS" I FINALLY HAVE ONE FOR SALE.
This Mini was redone 10 years ago in a John deere scheme. Hundreds of dollars were spent buying John Deere chrome name badges, factory decals, John Deere seat cover material and the correct John Deere yellow and green factory paint. george did this mini up to look like a million bucks!
This Mini, along with 3 others, was parked in front of my shop, in Charleston, SC, on my lot, on display.
An uninsured drunk driver ran off the road, hit my sign and knocked the sign down in top of all 4 Minis.
This Mini was damaged more than the other 3, as the sign, on top of the sign post, fell directly in the roof of this Mini. No broken glass, just a caved in roof. Not the kind of damage you buff out!
The other 3 Minis were repaired and sold years ago.
George removed all the interior and glass from this Mini. Every removed part is in my warehouse and intact. See photos.
Please see posted photos for damage, features and condition. this Mini was not a rusty car, at all and has been stored inside my warehouse since the damage was done. this is a nice Mini that needs a roof or the damaged roof removed completely and made into a roadster or convertible.
Importing Minis, in recent years, has become economically impossible, due to the poor exchange rate of the US dollar to other currencies around the globe.
this Mini has been stored inside my warehouse for 3+ years. The engine runs and the car ran & drove great before the damage occurred. the engine did not knock, smoke or over heat. The transmission did not make any unusual noises, jump out of any gear or have any faults at all. the clutch and brakes functioned properly as well. Pete ran this car just last spring and it ran great and moved under its own power. the electrical part of the ignition switch needs replacing, as did most on the mid to late 1970's Minis.
Buyer must send a $500 Paypal deposit within 24 hours of end of listing and the balance of the sale price must be received by me within 3 days of end of listing, in the form of a bank cashier's check, sent by US Post Express mail, 2 day delivery with signature required on delivery. No exceptions.
the Mini can remain inside my warehouse for 30 days, at no extra charge, giving the buyer enough time to arrange transport or come pick the Mini up at their convenience.
Clear SC title and sold as is due to damage.
We were going to cut the roof off,but not enough time, as my property has sold and we must move out by late October, hence the emoval of all the parts, (see posted photos for examples of 3 Minis, orange, red and white, with roof removed),

Mini stretches out with new Hardtop 4 door [w/video] [UPDATE]
Thu, 05 Jun 2014UPDATE: Information on US availability, specification and nomenclature added to the updated text below.
Few automakers have managed to spin off as many variants of essentially one vehicle as Mini has. The second generation produced even more versions than the first, and now that the third generation is upon us, the process is starting all over again. The jury may still be out on whether parent company BMW will roll out as many body-styles of this latest Mini as it did with the last, but here's our first indication.
Following the introduction of the new three-door Mini hatchback at the LA Auto Show, the Anglo-Saxon marque has introduced a new five-door model. Or four-door, depending on which Mini office you're speaking to: while this new model - an addition to the lineup and not a direct replacement for anything previously offered - is called the Mini 5 door by the factory, here in the US it's called the Mini Hardtop 4 door. Whatever you call it, though, this new Mini is essentially the same as the three-door model (or two-door model with a tailgate), only with - you guessed it - two extra doors. The new Clubman will be a separate model altogether.
Mini Cooper Royal Wedding Edition: For the couple that literally has everything
Wed, May 9 2018As far as wedding presents go, it sure beats a hand mixer. Mini has created a one-off car to commemorate the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The car won't be brought in and parked next to the gift table, however. Instead, it'll be given to a charity chosen by the royal couple, which will then auction it. Mini's design team has personalized a Mini Cooper 2-Door with a hand-made roof graphic and a special interior, which features 3D-printed parts and special embroidery. The idea behind the hand-applied multi-layer roof graphic is that it's a combination of the Union Jack and the Stars & Stripes, representing the couple's nationalities. As an extra touch, the opened doors will project a "Just Married" sign onto the ground. Small detailing around the car is also bespoke, from the chrome finish to the side scuttles. Inside the Crystal White car is a Satellite Grey leather interior, with a trim strip announcing the first names of the bride and groom, as well as the wedding date. There are also accents in the door cards that match the roof graphic's colors. And just in case you're digging the stylistic vibe of the Royal Wedding Edition (not really the official name, but let's go with it), some of the custom work on the car can be replicated with the Mini Yours personalization program. That includes the option of 3D-printed parts. After the wedding on May 19 , the car will go to The Children's HIV Association, or CHIVA, who will auction it. Here's hoping it commands a good price.

Mini sells 500,000th car in US
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Mini has officially sold 500,000 vehicles in the United States. The achievement came just a few days after the company commemorated its 11th anniversary in America. When the automaker first opened its doors to US buyers in 2002, it sold just 24,590 unis. Last year, the automaker moved 66,123 vehicles thanks in part to an expanded lineup that now includes the Clubman, Countryman, Coupe, Roadster and Paceman in addition to the stalwart Hardtop and Convertible. The company plans to have some 130 dealerships nationwide by the end of 2013; there are currently 116 Mini dealers in the US.
Mini helped reignite an interest in small cars with plenty of personality when it debuted the Cooper 11 years ago. The move helped pave the way for machines like the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic. Check out the quick press release on the 500,000th Mini model below.
