1986 Classic Mini Here is one of five classic mini's that I imported about two years ago from the UK. Two have been sold and this is the last one. I'm keeping the other two. The only reason that I picked these particular Mini's to sell is because one that I'm keeping is a bare shell now and the other is an automatic trans with A/C. This particular mini has a 1275cc engine out of an early 1990's Mini with the SPI engine. This is not a fuel injected Mini. She, Teresa, has been fitted with a 1 3/4 HIF44 SU Carb. I live outside of Seattle, about 85 miles NW and have driven her to Portland twice. Runs great. The fastest I had her up to was 85MPH. She wanted to go faster but the State Patrol in this state doesn't have much of a sense of humor so I had to back down to 75. The fiberglass kit that surrounds her I believe is what is referred to as a Zemec kit in England. It is such a clean job that you would think she came from the factory this way. She does have one small crack in the fiberglass which I have tried to show in the photos. As the pictures show, she does not have her original seats but they are adjustable and she doesn't have a rear seat. Rear seats are sold new from 7ent.com, a big classic mini parts supplier in California. A couple of items do not work. The speedometer cable is broken. I know that for a fact because I can pull it out. I use my GPS as a speedometer. The tach isn't accurate I was told that it is inaccurate because of the engine swap. The engine was designed as a fuel injected and now she isn't. And the clock doesn't work. She came without a radio and she still doesn't have one. She has a roof antenna with the cable running to the radio cutout. The UK title shows her color as silver, but I'm guessing that she has been repainted as the paint job looks really good. The headliner has also probably been redone. Looks great in its jet black, felt like finish. No cuts or tears. The interior is flawless. The carpet and seats are also in really great shape. Teresa has had a number of upgrades since I got her. Two items are the Pertronix Ignitor II distributor replaced the stock distributor and she was fitted with a Flame Thrower HV High Voltage Coil. Their are numerous other upgrades and are shown on copies of the invoices from Jet Motors. Jet Motors deal exclusively with Classic Mini's. The only two items that I can think of where I don't have copies of the invoice is the clutch master cylinder rubber hose was replaced with a braided stainless steel one and the HIF44 Carb was completely rebuilt by SUcarb.com Actual mileage listed may be higher because I do drive her. Listing may end early because she is listed locally. $100.00 Paypal non refundable deposit due within 24 hours. Balance must be paid for by wire transfer or certified check within 72 hours. I will consider a REASONABLE offer. Just email if you are a serious buyer. Clear WA State title in my name. If your in the area, your more than welcome to take her for a drive. The Buy it Now price is less than what the car cost me, Cost involved were the cost of Teresa, having the car picked up from the purchase location and delivered to the Southampton docks, the cost of the boat, all the custom fees, the broker to handle the mountain of paperwork, Tacoma dock fees, the cost to have her transported from Tacoma to Port Angeles, and finally all the cost to have her registered here in WA state. Thank you for looking. |

Street Glory Mappers turning cars into dynamic billboards like this
Fri, 04 Jul 2014A French marketing firm with the impenetrable name of Street Glory Mappers is literally turning cars into billboards. Of course, we've all seen vehicles painted up for promotional use, but this company is taking that concept even further by including video.
Street Glory Mappers equips the vehicles with a large video screen behind the windshield to play whatever is being advertised. According to the company's promo, it may even be possibly to sync up the vehicle's lights with the show, as well. The firm claims that it's a great form of temporary, mobile marketing because the car can arrive at the location, play the video and then go away when the prospective audience leaves.
While it doesn't necessarily seem any more effective than other forms of advertising, the firm's idea is at least unobtrusive. After all, it's easier to ignore a stationary car than a person handing out flyers. However, vehicle flashing its lights and playing video could certainly distract other drivers.
The Mini Rocketman could be reborn as an EV
Wed, May 4 2016Ask Mini fans what their favorite concept has been over the past 15 years, and you're likely to get one of two answers – the tiny Rocketman hatch, or the Superleggera roadster. The two cars are perhaps the best representations of the Mini brand's values, offering a tiny, efficient package in one vehicle and a stylish performer in the other. And they might finally see production. Okay, so that's an awfully big "might," and it's based on hints offered by Mini product boss Ralph Mahler to Autocar about expanding the company's range. The bad news? The Superleggera is facing long odds, Mahler said, because "roadster segment is small and demand is going down, with new markets opening up. The growth is not there, so it's always a challenge". "It fits perfectly into the brand, but we're a small [sales volume] car brand and have to be focused and know what we want to have," Mahler said, keeping hopes alive. "The Superleggera is playing a role but no decisions." Things are looking much rosier for the Rocketman, which could see a future as sort of a Mini-branded BMW i3. Originally introduced as a more elemental, affordable Mini, Mahler said it's "inspiring us as of today, especially as an EV in the future." Using the lessons learned by its parent company with the i3, Mini could adopt that car's creative packaging to make a roomy three-door with a remarkably small footprint. But even with that knowledge, building a Rocketman EV could be a tall order. "It was something that was ahead of its time but is still inspiring," Mahler told Autocar. "With a smaller car, it's a bigger challenge. With Rocketman, and talking EV in the future, as the EV engine gets more portable, it's give and take [for such a small EV]. Related Video:
