Mini Panel Van on 2040-cars
Mineral, Virginia, United States
Mileage: 59,999
Make: Mini
Model: Classic Mini
1967 Austin Mini Panel Van--originally from New Zealand--RHD. This Van was equipped with full, rear side windows mounted in a flange with bead lock gaskets. The sheet metal was epoxeyed in--so it could be knifed out if windows are again desired. Not to second guess the buyer on personalizing this car--it is currently in primer--so you can paint the color of your choice. Originally, the color was a beige, or cream--both inside and out. The front of the cargo platform hinges to show the brackets for the optional rear seat. The shell is solid. Please call for details on all body work. Ph: 540-854-8251. Upgrades include: fresh 1098cc. engine and rebuilt transmission, 2.76:1 crown and pinion gears, adjustable coil springs and shocks, alternator, electronic distributor, Mini-fin aluminum brake drums, Mini-Lite replica alloys with 12" tires, adjustable caster strut-rods--(not-installed), Honda Prelude seats, two-can exhaust, radiator, and optional engine stabilizers. The car comes with 4-12 inch steel rims, 4-10 inch steel rims--all with rubber. The original tan bucket seats are included. The original 3.44:1 gears are included. This car is a good daily driver--in excellent mechanical shape. The "red" coil springs give it a firm ride. The fuel gage and odometer are not working. This car is listed locally--so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

World record practice jump doesn't go as planned for Chicherit
Wed, Mar 19 2014French rally driver Guerlain Chicherit is a very lucky man. He had hoped to beat Tanner Foust's 332-feet car jump record (which nearly went awry itself) with a 360-foot leap in a specially built Mini to score a new Guinness World Record at the French ski resort of Tignes. However, things didn't go to plan, and Chicherit suffered a massive crash during the attempt. According to The Local, emergency services were on the scene immediately, and he was transported to the hospital by helicopter, but Chicherit is in better condition than anyone could have expected. He has been on Facebook since the crash and appears to be in great spirits. He wrote: "I have to stay to the hospital for the night just for safety, I'm all ok !!!" The jump was originally scheduled for Sunday, March 16, but heavy fog delayed it until today. Warning: The crash is quite graphic, but remember Chicherit wasn't seriously injured.

Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model
Sat, 08 Mar 2014Contrary to popular belief, it seems that Mini's growth plans do have a limit both in size and number of models. During the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it unveiled the six-door Clubman concept (pictured above) that was 4.4-inches longer and about two-inches wider than even the current Countryman crossover. Mini design chief Anders Warming says that this is the new size limit for its models, and the BMW subsidiary isn't building a larger, seven-passenger vehicle above the current Countryman.
"We won't build anything bigger than the Countryman, not at this moment. You should be able to park a Mini in a city, so a Countryman or this new Clubman is as big as it should be," said Warming to Auto Express in Geneva. Rumors going back to last November, pegged the Mini as developing an even larger vehicle to take on mainstream CUVs.
While Warming is ruling out a bigger Minis for now, a smaller one like the Rocketman concept still might be in the cards. He said that the project has been warmly received but still had to be investigated because "it's a numbers game." So if bigger Minis aren't coming, there still might be a slim chance for a smaller one.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
