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. |

Mini Cooper five-door exists and has been spotted
Fri, 09 Nov 2012The two-door Mini Cooper is getting two additional portals in its next generation. A coming five-door Cooper S with central exhaust has been spotted out testing, the idea presumably being that it will pose a better challenge to other small, premium hatches in the segment like the A1 Sportback from Audi. Based on the same UKL platform that will support the production version of the BMW Concept Active Tourer, the wheelbase has been lengthened to make more room for rear passengers.
It should be revealed on the auto show circuit at some point next year, getting buyers ready for its production in 2014. We'll find out then if it gets a special name and how it fits in with - or perhaps replaces - the Clubman.
Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits
Sun, 25 Aug 2013BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
Mini forgets to bring car to LA, shows Citysurfer concept scooter
Wed, 19 Nov 2014See that red thing? It's the Mini Citysurfer Concept. It is not, in case you were wondering, an automobile. Yet despite this apparent shortcoming, Mini has placed it on a plinth at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The electric scooter weighs in at 40 pounds, can hit 15 miles per hour, cover 10 to 15 miles and can be folded up and charged in the trunk of a Mini Cooper (or any other vehicle with a 12-volt outlet and a roomy enough cargo area). According to the British marque, these qualities will give the scooter's owner the "spontaneous and convenient mobility even in those sections of an urban area not accessible to motorized vehicles."
It's not terribly difficult to see the appeal, as Mini explains it. With urban congestion becoming an increasingly serious problem - and some cities beginning to ban cars outright - the idea of an easy to charge and easy to stow runabout is extremely attractive. That's doubly true in the case of the Citysurfer, which is rather well equipped, as far as scooters go.
