1974 Austin Mini

Right Hand Drive
"Kieth's conversion" convertible. Which means it tarted out as a hard top coupe. Then the roof was cut off and made into a convertible and a roll bar was added by a company in England called Kieth's conversions". 

1000cc engine. Needs rings (puffs blue smoke). But it comes with a spare 1100cc engine known to be in good condition. I just never got around to swapping it out. 

It has a few rust bubbles here and there, the driver door sags, and there's some rust at the door sill. But the floors, trunk, and rest of the body is all pretty solid. The convertible top is serviceable. The cloth interior is from a 25th anniversary model. It's a bit sun faded. But has no rips, tears, or seam separations. Overall it's a fair condition daily driver. It runs, drives, and stops. 

It has the upgraded to the 8-gallon gas tank, wheel flare kit, and 13" wheels/tires. Comes with a spare set of 12" Minilite wheels, a spare gauge pod, and a stereo. (I have both cassette and CD players. Let me know which one you want). 

I imported this fun little gem from England a few years ago for my wife as a family fun runabout (holds 4 people easily) and weekend country driveer. It was also an economical daily driver since it gets 30 mpg. The kids LOVED to ride around in it. But now they're teenagers and have better things to do besides riding around with mom and dad on the weekends, plus the wife rarely drives it anymore, and I need the money to put into the next project in the garage.  

For an extra $1000, I will install the replacement engine and stereo for you. 

Sold as-is with no warrantee offered, expressed, or implied. 

Buyer responsible for pick up or shipping.

2016 Mini Clubman stretches out, opens wide for Frankfurt crowd [w/video]

Tue, Sep 15 2015

On the surface, there are two things you need to know that differentiate the new Mini Clubman from not only its short-wheelbase counterpart, but the brand's two other five-door models. First, its stretched wheelbase really is very long, and second, it still has those nifty barn doors in back. That extra four inches added between the axles is important, because it makes for not only the longest vehicle Mini has ever built – it's actually slightly longer than a four-door Volkswagen Golf – it's easily its roomiest, as well. The backseats are suitable for real human beings. Even with a taller driver in front, seating behind the driver is far from cramped, although we'd hesitate to put three adults in the second row. Compared to the aforementioned VW, there's a total of 34.3 inches of rear legroom, or just 1.3 inches less than the Golf. As for those twin barn doors, they swing open at the kick of a foot (when so optioned), much like the smart tailgates being fitted to so many crossovers. Once open, they grant users access to 17.5 cubic feet of cargo space, complete with a liftable flat floor. Fold the second row down, and there's a total of 47.9 cu ft of cargo space. Check out our entire live gallery of the all-new – and fully undisguised, this time around – direct from the floor of the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. RIPE FOR FRESH CONQUESTS: THE NEW MINI CLUBMAN Woodcliff Lake, NJ, June 24, 2015. The new generation of the MINI model family continues to grow. With the new MINI Clubman it now conquers the premium compact segment, too. The new model offers the highest level of everyday practicality, long distance suitability, versatility and ride comfort ever seen in a MINI. With four doors and the characteristic split doors at the rear, five fully-fledged seats and a generously sized, versatile interior, the new MINI Clubman meets all the requirements of the compact class in terms of functionality in its own unconventional way. Individual style, outstanding driving fun and the quality level of a premium automobile make it an exceptional phenomenon that allows additional target groups to get a taste of the distinctive MINI feeling. The matured character of the new MINI Clubman is reflected in dimensions that are significantly larger than the predecessor model, a distinctive body concept, high-quality materials and finish quality and also new features in the areas of drive, suspension comfort, safety, controls and connectivity based on the latest MINI generation.

Mini SE gets the art car treatment with The Flash superhero painting

Mon, Nov 2 2020

What better superhero to put on an electric car than The Flash? Admittedly, the speedy superhero may be a better fit for the Porsche Taycan Turbo or Tesla Model S Performance, but a Mini SE is a fine option itself. The Mini flashes through corners instead of the quarter mile. There, we made it work. Mini has decided to attend the international comics, gaming, animation and fantasy fair, Lucca Changes 2020, with this art car. This year, the fair is completely online. The author who made this art car is Carmine di Giandomenico. He’s an Italian cartoonist who actually made 34 issues of The Flash. Obviously, he had an idea of what he was doing going into this project. Previous to this project, he earned the nickname of “fastest cartoonist in the world” when he drew 56 comic tables in 48 hours. The work of art drawn on this Mini is meant to be a recreation of the cover for Issue 123 originally drawn by Carmine Infantino. Very few details of the actual process were detailed by Mini, but itÂ’s said to have taken di Giandomenico just 10 hours to complete it from start to finish using a “mixed technique.” That tracks with the speeds at which he typically completes his drawings. Art cars can take days to create depending on their complexity, but this is not one of those. As we look at the number of photos provided, “The Flash” is the main event along the sides of the Mini. Lightning arcs up and down and front to back. The lightning bolt symbol on the hood is the same as what youÂ’ll see on The FlashÂ’s chest. It all fits quite nicely with the electric MiniÂ’s persona. Now, if Mini can just find a way to harness The FlashÂ’s power to increase the carÂ’s 110-mile range on a full charge ... Related Video:
