Car was shipped straight to Japan, after production. Hence, absolutely NO RUST. New 12" wheels, new tires with 3000 miles, new flares  painted body color. Removed old rubber harsh riding sub frame and had top of the line Hi-Los with smooth riding street spring installed. Boy did this make a difference!. Installed new grille, painted Black and chrome surrounds, installed new HD wiper arms and new blades, along with a new double window sprayer. This car gets all the attention every where I go.

There are always a crowd around it at the minute markets when I come out or before I go in. If you don't want attention and questions, don't buy this car! Everyone has their little same old cute remarks "your steering wheel is on the wrong side", "Where's the rest of this car?", "Did you have it shipped over from England?" "Where can I get on?" I always tell them, this one is kinda special, with A/C and auto trans. More expensive than your run of the mill one, but if that's not important to you, you can find cheaper ones on the internet. Yada, Yada  Yada can go on as long as you will stay and talk. The women all say "it's just so cute." And it is.

A pre car buyer inspector stated that he had been looking at Minis since he was 17, He's about 50 now, and he had never seen one in this good of shape, He said "never have I seen one with absolutely no rust. Then he said, don't sell this car, keep it as long as you can.

I would, but I have to make long distance road trips to the University of Florida quite often, as I had a Deep Brain Stimulation operation about a year ago, and I have to drive about 4 1/2 hours one way and be analyzed and retuned about every 2  or 3 months. I'm 69 , and just have to have a larger more comfortable riding old man's car. I wish I could keep it and just drive it around here, but I am not that wealthy.

Anyway, if you have any questions, please call cell 912 656 8532 home 912 897 3156.

Shipping to be arranged by buyer. I will of course assist shipper loading. Or you may pick it up. Seller pays no shipping fees, no matter what the ad states. I did not put anything in for shipping.

Mini John Cooper Works Concept heading wide-eyed into production

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

We now know that Mini will offer a stupendous number of total models over the next few years, so it's fair to assume that most of the brand's concept cars have series production written all over them. So, a 'concept' like this new John Cooper Works Mini is more or less a mortal lock to hit showrooms in very similar trim.
That's probably a good thing for future JCW owners, as this Mini looks decidedly better than the standard car that debuted in Los Angeles late last year. Something about the bigger grille, lowered front fascia and pumped up wheel arches make the car more visually compelling than the weird-nosed 2014 Mini Hardtop. (At least to this author.)
By hey, don't take our word for it - with the official press release down below, and our box-fresh gallery of live images up above, you can make up your minds for yourselves. Tell us what you think in the Comments.

Cargo ship carrying 1,200 Jaguars and Land Rovers deliberately run aground [w/video]

Mon, Jan 5 2015

A cargo ship carrying a load of new cars out of Southampton has run aground in the English Channel in between England and the Isle of Wight. The vessel apparently suffered some sort of failure just 45 minutes after leaving port that caused it to list heavily to the starboard side before the crew deliberately beached it on Bramble Bank to prevent the ship from capsizing altogether. The vessel, called the Hoegh Osaka, is a 590-foot car carrier weighing some 57,000 tons and registered in Singapore. Although several automakers (including Honda and Bentley) were reportedly looking into whether they had cars on board, the vessel is said to have been filled to approximately one-third its capacity, with 1,400 vehicles on board – including 1,200 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, 65 Mini models and one Rolls-Royce Wraith. 70 to 80 pieces of construction equipment were also said to be on board. The Hoegh Osaka was en route from the southern British port of Southampton to Bremerhaven, Germany. Fortunately, no major injuries have been reported. The crew was mostly airlifted by helicopter off of the beached ship, with two crew members evacuated by lifeboat. One crew member reportedly jumped over 25 feet off the ship into the water before being immediately retrieved by rescue workers. According to the Daily Mail, two crew members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. It may take several days, if not longer, to extract the vessel from the sand bank and ascertain the damage to the ship and its cargo. An early attempt to free the ship with tugboats failed, meaning that the Maritime and Coastguard Agency may have to wait until more favorable high tides to try again before towing the ship back into the port. Bramble Bank, where the vessel was run aground, is a well-known obstacle to maritime navigators. The Queen Elizabeth 2 ran aground there in November 2008 with 1,700 passengers on board, but was quickly freed by four tugboats and was able to continue on its way. Two local yacht clubs also play a cricket match there every year at low tide. The vessel's operator, Hoegh Autoliners, praised the skill and quick thinking of the crew in acting to prevent the ship's capsizing by running her aground on the soft, sandy shoal.

New Mini to bow on Nov. 18, on Alec Issigonis' birthday

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Miniacs, note November 18 on your calendar. That's when the all-new Mini Hardtop will debut. Now, this might not be a great deal of news, after all, we already showed you the car, codenamed F56, a few weeks ago. But this full unveiling should bring with it even more detailed exterior images, a full look at the cabin and if we're lucky, performance numbers.
History buffs will also note that November 18 is the birthday of Sir Alec Issigonis. It was Issigonis that penned the original idea for the Mini on a cocktail napkin, envisioning a car with a transversely mounted engine, the wheels pushed out to all four corners and plenty of cabin space for occupants. That car had a remarkably small footprint and was quite efficient, perfect for tackling the fuel shortages brought on by the Suez Crisis in 1959's Great Britain. An unintended side-effect of its design was that it was also an absolute hoot to drive.
The November 18 debut will take place at Mini's home, Plant Oxford, in the UK. Following that, November 20 will see a near-simultaneous debut at both the Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show. We'll be on hand to bring you all the details.
