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.

2020 Mini Convertible Sidewalk Edition hits the pavement again

Wed, Jan 8 2020

In 2007, the Mini Convertible Sidewalk dropped its top in bitter winter during the Detroit Auto Show to show off its exclusive appearance package. The cosmetic suite makes a return for 2020, again as the Mini Convertible Sidewalk, with more color and design choices courtesy of Mini Yours. The primo choice comes in Deep Laguna metallic, a hue unavailable on other models, set off by patterned hood strips with contrasting edges. Buyers can spec five metallic colors from the traditional palette, too: White Silver, Moonwalk Grey, Thunder Grey, Enigmatic Black, and Midnight Black. For markets that make such perks optional, the Sidewalk Chili equipment package installs LED headlights and fog lights, automatic air conditioning, the interior lighting package, a height-adjustable front passenger seat, the storage package, and driving modes. Sidewalk logos on the side indicator bezels ease identification from afar, so too the 17 inch Scissor Spoke two-tone wheels. Upon closer inspection, the arrow graphics woven into the fabric soft top are another giveaway, as are the brushed aluminum sill plates bearing the word "Sidewalk." The interior's been wrapped in MINI Yours anthracite leather upholstery, stitched with Petrol and Energetic Yellow thread. Braided Petrol piping outlines the seat forms, dark Petrol contours the floor mats, while doors get Petrol and silver accents. A Sidewalk logo sits at the base of the leather-wrapped sports steering wheel. Three engine lineup comes in three gasoline flavors, a 1.5-liter three-cylinder with 102-horsepower in the Mini One, the same engine with 134 hp in the Mini Cooper, and a 192-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder for the Mini Cooper S. Mini says the standard transmission will be a six-speed manual; the row-your-own took a break for a spell but is due back in the U.S. next month. The seven-speed Steptronic dual-clutch is optional on the Mini Cooper and Cooper S, the DCT with paddle shifters an option on the Cooper S only. We aren't privy to price yet – that comes closer to launch in March. The Mini Convertible Sidewalk will be sold worldwide, but numbers might be limited; the UK, for instance, only gets 150 examples.

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a potent little hot hatch in a fat suit

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

If there's one thing we're never going to complain about, it's that Mini has found it necessary to put the John Cooper Works treatment on every single one of its models. We love the JCW package across the board, and the final installment of the high-performance chapter (for now, anyway) comes in the form of the John Cooper Works Paceman, debuting here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
The John Cooper Works formula hasn't been altered in any way here, and like the JCW Countryman on which the Paceman is based, it comes standard with Mini's All4 all-wheel-drive system. We're sure it'll be a total hoot, and with 218 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque on tap, how could it not?
Look for the Mini JCW Paceman to hit dealerships in March of this year. Need to know more? Scroll down.

Watch this Chinese stunt driver parallel park with only 3 inches to spare

Mon, Nov 24 2014

Whenever this writer thinks of fancy parking jobs, we go straight to Buddy Love singing Strokin' in a red Dodge Viper he slides into a tiny space in The Nutty Professor. But after watching the video above, we might have to start thinking about Han Yue, who broke the world record for getting into the tightest parallel parking space. The previous record was set in July 2013 by Alastair Moffatt, who had 3.4 inches to spare between his car and those around. Yue used a Mini Cooper at the China Drift Championship in Chongqing, China, to shrink that gap to 3.15 inches. That gave Yue two world records at the same event: the day before, he used a BMW M4 to set the world record for doing the most donuts around a car driving on two wheels. Which, frankly, we didn't even know was a competitive thing...
