 I have a 1973 Mini that is for sale. The car had a major restoration in 1993 and was driven for two summer's after that. Since then it has been undercover in my parent's garage. The body was sandblasted and had all new metal where needed, no bondo anywhere. The interior is ok and has a nice wood dash but needs to be finished. As you can see in the picture I also have some very nice aluminum mag wheels. I put about 25K into the car over about 5 years.

The motor is a one of a kind. it was built by a guy in town as a racing engine, it's fast. I have a Webber carb on it and a custom exhaust to deal with the added input.  The car has not been on the road for a while so it will need some TLC to get it back on the road, but you won't find a better body or a better engine anywhere.  If you are able to do the superficial work that this car needs you will be very pleased. It could also be raced if you wanted to.  Asking price is 8,000 but I do want to sell so will consider any serious offer.

If you have any questions email me Dick_nesbitt@hotmail.com , or if you would like to see the car (it's in Duncan BC (Vancouver Island Canada)) you can call 250-748-1350 just leave a message and we will get back to you. I can't ship it to you but I will work with your shipper on my end if you make the arraignments.

2014 Mini Cooper S Paceman [w/video]

Not Too Odd, Not Too Maxi. Is This Mini Just Right?
We recently got our first time behind the wheel of the latest iteration of the Mini Countryman, the 215-horsepower John Cooper Works model, and were left less than enthused despite the inherent fun factor that a JCW badge brings. Our time with the crossover suggests the Countryman is just too weighty and soft to properly wear the badge.
We have also spent loads of time in various Mini Clubman trims and, despite the oddity of its configuration, this model may be our overall favorite in the current Mini lineup. But it is decidedly not a volume seller, which Mini needs.

Mini Clubman Bond Street is as special as they come

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Mini is committed to applying the brand's trademark special-edition formula to the company's long roof. The Clubman Bond Street bowed under the lights of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, complete with its unique black-and-champagne color scheme. Like the Mayfair and Camden and Bayswater and Baker Street special editions that came before it, the Bond Street pays homage to a famous London street with mirror caps and a roof dipped in contrasting paint. The Cool Champagne color pops against the body's Midnight Black Metallic, and buyers can expect to find a set of 17-inch alloy wheels on hand as well.
Inside, the Clubman Bond Street gets Carbon Black leather seating with Deep Champagne accents. Each Bond Street comes equipped with the Chrome Line package. Under the hood, a 122-horsepower gasoline four-cylinder serves up thrust, though a 143-horsepower turbo-diesel mill can also be had for a little extra coin. Check out the full press release below for more information.
