IT PASSES SMOG.
This MINI has been a daily driver since purchased from the original owner in 2006. The car has routinely outperformed the driver on the track and has been meticulously maintained. For an 13 year old car the paint is near perfect and has been very well cared for with Griot's Garage products. The car has been garaged its whole life up until a few months ago.

Recent Maintenance completed in the last 1,500 miles:
-A/C Condenser Clutch repaired. A/C works great and blows cold the way you want it to for summer.
-Driver side window regulator/motor repaired.
-Oil Change completed.
-Driver side front wheel hub/bearing replaced with quality Timken unit and race lug studs installed with Loctite, everything torqued to spec per factory manuals.
-Rear hatch struts replaced as they were beginning to sag.
-Taillight bulb replaced.

Other notes:
1) A new OEM -- ENGINE and TRANSMISSION - Short Block Part # 11000430233 was installed @ 100,556 miles (roughly 10,XXX miles on new short block). I have all receipts.
2) The tint installed by the previous owner is showing a few wrinkles
3) Small scuff (quarter sized) on the rear bumper
4) Rock chip on windshield (happened in August and has not spread)
5) Slight tear (2 in.) on driver's seat

Spare parts included for buy it now price only:
-Set of tinted tail lights
-Black aero grill
-Spare tire kit with jack and tools
-Mini Cooper factory car cover
-Driver and passenger 4-point Schroth Harness
-1 x Mini Cooper pulley tool
-1 x Spare driver window motor
-1 x Spare Timken front wheel hub/bearing assembly
-4 racing lug studs from Bimmerworld
-2 x Imported Mann Oil Filters
-4 x lug bolt
-spare taillight bulb

Selling due to a new vehicle occupying the garage space and this vehicle now only being driven once a week. This car has about $20,000 in extras and is easily one of the best handling vehicles I've owned and IMO handles better than my previously owned Porsche 911 Turbo, E30 BMW M3, or WRX STI. The steering and turn-in is like no other and this vehicle is ready for the canyons or track. This is not a vehicle for the feint hearted.  Email for more pictures.

2025 Mini Countryman E makes U.S. debut, arrives fall 2024

Mon, Sep 18 2023

The 2025 Mini Countryman was revealed in electric SE ALL4 form at this year’s Munich Motor Show, but now itÂ’s time to see the base E version of the next-gen Countryman make its debut in the U.S. As you can see from the photos, the base E (painted in green) looks notably different from the SE ALL4. All of the gold-tinged accents are replaced with glossy black, and the distinctive panel aft of the C pillar nearly disappears into the design because it blends into all the other black-painted trim. The front grille design is similar, but it doesnÂ’t have the matte gold surround or the side intakes on the corners of the lower bumper. Of course, the green “S” isnÂ’t present either, and the look in general is far less sporty. Perhaps the most jarring of all the changes is the different (and much smaller) wheel design. Instead of the 20-inch flashy blades seen on the SE model, this Countryman E is rocking much more sedate 18-inch wheels in a traditional bright alloy appearance. All that extra sidewall makes the Countryman look more like the larger crossover that it is, and ultimately, our eyes tend to favor the larger wheel option. The Countryman EÂ’s rear design is largely the same as the SE, though the lower bumper features a painted insert instead of brushed brightwork. MiniÂ’s bright side sills are deleted on the E, as well, replaced by a simple, black plastic sill. Unfortunately, this reveal is largely just a reveal in photos. The only nugget of information Mini had to add is that this electric Countryman will arrive stateside in the fall of 2024. Basically, youÂ’ve got at least another year to wait until you can put one in your driveway. More specs and details for the U.S. market will be released in due course.

Classic Rover Mini is a passion-inspiring plaything

Sun, 01 Sep 2013

Ask anyone that's driven a classic Mini, and they'll probably tell you that their first reaction to driving it was a lot like the start of this video - whooping, shouting, laughing and a whole lot of smiling. This video, from Jon Quirk, editor-in-chief at Auto Trader UK, highlights the connection between him and his Rover Mini Paul Smith. He really nails the man-machine interface that makes owning a great car so much fun. Besides that, Quirk does a good job of enumerating what is so enjoyable about driving a fun car on a twisting road.
For our British readers, this video is also meant to test the waters for a new format from Auto Trader UK, called "I Bought One." With Quirk's Mini, the car-buying site is looking at telling the story of people and their interesting cars. We think this video is a great start, with high production value and solid content. Head on over to the YouTube channel, and let them know what you think. But first, scroll on down for the entire video on this awesome Rover Mini.

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.
