Austin, Texas, United States
|
Clean title in hand. Make me an offer. Call Alexander at 512-577-9246 This little motor is an absolute blast. The exhaust sounds mean, but not over the top obnoxious. It has fantastic handling with a tight suspension. It is very mechanically sound. Cruises easily at 75 mph and wants more. It is one beautiful example of a Mini. This thing was built to be a weekend warrior. Something that could be enjoyed on the street on those pretty days, then take it to the track and tear it up. The engine has been built for power, and is nicely done. The transmission has been changed to the new rod change because it is much stronger and shifts much better. The car is set up to be driven hard. Everything works: 4 cylinder 1275 cc naturally aspirated engine 4 speed manual transmission (The transmission is a 1985 or later rod change, not the magic wand) 10 inch alloy wheels Oil accumulator Suspension is dry adjustable (fully customizable camber, caster, height, and dampening) Brakes upgraded with best components Mini Cooper S brake booster Custom roll cage Custom racing seats Upgraded Headlights Air Horn Cabin heater and windshield defroster Driver and passenger horizontal sliding windows Original tool kit (no spare tire) Venting rear windows Dual gas tanks (fuel feeds from both tanks automatically) Windshield washer fluid pump Auxiliary cooling fan Odometer has stopped turning (actual mileage unknown) Windshield wiper motor needs to be replaced Small puncture in driver's seat Provenance: The body is in top notch shape. The body is an MKII Austin Mini. It has some of the body markers of an S, but the oil cooler mounting point has been added. There appears to be body work in the front like a panel replacement. If that's the case, then this would explain why the oil cooler mount was added because the hole could have been replaced. According to the VIN, the car should be an MKI. The block is an S block, but all the numbers are gone. The head has some of the markings of an MKIII Mini Cooper S, but some are missing. Work Performed: Oil change Replaced spark plugs Replaced the valve cover with an aluminum cover. Modified the new cover to fit the bolts. Replaced differential gaskets, side seals, and rod seal in the transmission. Added engine air filters Replaced right front CV boot Replaced starter with 6 horsepower upgraded unit (much easier to start) This car is also known as: Leyland, Morris, or Rover. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction closing. This is a used car, there are no warranties or returns. Inspections are welcome. Buyer is responsible for shipping and state taxes. Bid only if you are going to buy and have the money ready. Call or email me with any questions. Alexander - 512-577-9246 |

Mini Coopers make the best Pac-Man ghosts in Pixels movie trailer
Thu, Mar 19 2015The concept of fighting off real-world incarnations of classic arcade game characters out to destroy the Earth sounds like a rejected idea for an SNL Digital Short. But it's coming to theaters this summer in a film called Pixels starring Adam Sandler and Kevin James. Based on the trailer, it seems the premise of the film is that aliens receive a message from Earth and decide to fight back with vintage arcade characters, including ones from Space Invaders, Q*bert and Donkey Kong. To defeat these baddies, Sandler and Co must beat them in the style of their respective games. When it comes time to take out the giant glowing-yellow Pac-Man, their plan includes outfitting a quartet of Mini Cooper S models as the ghosts. Squint at the cars' license plates to spot a subtle, visual joke. They are called Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde – the nicknames of the enemies in the arcade. While it could be argued that Sandler and James haven't quite been at the top of their games recently, the story here appears to boil down to Ghostbusters with video games, which could work purely on a nostalgic level if it's properly handled. Check out the trailer to spot even more vintage arcade references.
Mini Countryman Park Lane looks classy in Earl Grey
Wed, Mar 4 2015Wade through the very, very thick fluff of the press release that announces its entry into the premium compact market (see below for what we consider to be particularly artful prose in the presser), and you'll see that this is the first special edition Mini Countryman the British-born, German-owned brand has so far released. The Mini Countryman Park Lane is painted up in a striking shade of Earl Grey metallic (clever, boys) with contrasting Oak Red roof and accents. And, while it's possible to design a Mini of your very own with a seemingly endless array of colors, stripes and badges inside and out using the online configurator, the Park Lane is one of the classier jobs we've seen from the factory. For those keeping track, Park Lane refers to a street in the London borough of Mayfair, and this is the third special-edition vehicle from Mini that wears the name. See it in high-resolution above and below, and don't forget to read the press release below for a chuckle or two. Related Video: All-round talent with individual style: the MINI Countryman Park Lane. 03.03.2015 MINI Countryman Park Lane. Munich. Bold athletic flair and supreme versatility define the character of the MINI Countryman. As the first MINI with four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and optional all-wheel drive, it took on the role of an irresistible front-line force from the very outset - both in the conquest of additional target groups for the British premium brand and in the area of off-road driving. Its irrepressible forward thrust and flexibility are now expressed even more strikingly in an exclusive edition model. The MINI Countryman Park Lane sees its world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2015. It will be available worldwide in up to four engine variants from July 2015. The MINI Countryman has enabled the brand to establish a secure standing in the premium compact segment. Unmistakable design, premium quality, an interior concept of exemplary versatility and typical MINI driving fun both on and off the road go together to create an overall package that is unique in this category of vehicle, meeting the multi-faceted mobility needs of demanding target groups in urban traffic and beyond. In this way the MINI Countryman has successfully asserted itself as an all-round talent with individual style. For the first time, this special status within the competitive environment is now underscored with an edition model.
Tony Hawk jumps a moving Mini
Sun, 25 May 2014Remember a couple of years ago when Tony Hawk jumped over a Lexus LFA on his skateboard? Well that was nothing compared to what he's done here.
Sure the LFA is a more impressive car than a Mini hatchback, but that Japanese supercar was sitting still when the world's most famous skater jumped over it. And it was parked sideways. This time Tony's jumped a moving car, front to back. It gets even more impressive than that when you see what happens to the ramp after he's done with it, but we don't want to ruin the surprise.
The stunt was performed in celebration of the partnership between Mini USA and Hawk's Birdhouse Skateboards Tour, details of which you can read in the press release under the video below.
