Up for auction is a GENUINE Austin Cooper S. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. The car is a original California car with all original panels. This car has never been rusted and has all original floors panels, wings etc. I purchased the car from Bill G. (owner of Mincomp Racing is Costa Mesa, Ca). He owned this car from 1970-2009. I purchased the car in 2009 and Mincomp restored it for me. I have only put 1300 miles on this car since the restoration was completed in summer of 2013. I hate to sell it but I want to fund another project. Here are the details of the build. 1380cc A+ engine rebuilt. Bottom end was rebuilt by 7 Enterprises. The head is a Kieth Calver Super Sports head (ported, polished with high quality valves, springs etc) Mincomp camshaft, 9.75:1 compression ratio, 1.5 ratio rockers, ARP head bolts, main bearing strap, ARP rod bolts, AP clutch etc. The best part of the engine is the Specialist Components throttle body fuel injection. This setup eliminates the distributor with a crank fire ignition and coil pack. It gives you more power with exceptional reliability and driveability. (I still have the 1.5" twin Su carbs) The exhaust is a steel LCB with a stainless RC40 twin box exhuast. The gearbox is a NEW OLD STOCK Jack Knight 5 speed. It has straight cut gears and a Quaife limited slip differential. This gearbox is considered the best by most Mini experts and makes a nice difference when cruising on the highway. This gearbox cost me over $5,000.00 and you would have a heck of a time finding one new now days. The RPMs are lowered about 500 RPMs in 5th at highway speeds. Note: The original Cooper S engine is still at Mincomp Racing. It is included with the car but you will have to arrange shipping. The body was completely stripped and re painted in the orignal Almond Green. The white roof is a little brighter than the Old English White. The car was completely disassembled for painting. (all glass, every nut, engine, interior, fuel tanks, subframes etc were removed) The car was block sanded to ensure straightness and the paint quality is outstanding. There are no sctratches or chips anywhere. There was a small crank in the paint near the driver side rear roof gutter that has been touched up. I cannot show this in the photos because it is so minor. The flares are the orignal Special Tuning flares (not copies) and they are secured with stainless hardware. The interior has a coat of Lizard Skin for sound deadening. It works like Dynamat but it is more effective. Interior: All guages have been restored including a period correct Smiths accessory tachometer. Heater box has been restored in the correct textured black paint. All new carpet, recovered seats, all new interior panels. The front seats are from a 60s Datsun roadster. They sit lower and are more supportive than the original seats. The steering wheel is a Mota Lita Cooper Signature model. Suspension: Gaz adjustable shocks, coil spring conversion (converted from wet to dry suspension in the 70s), Special Tuning rear swaybay and Hi- Los. Front and rear subframes were re painted and re built. Make no mistake this is one of the best Cooper S that money can buy. The car is very quick and it handles great. I am selling this car for what I think is a fair price. Do not tell me what others are going for because you can't compare most of them to this one. I want this car to go to a good home and I am not desperate to sell it so don't make any ridiculous offers. The car is British so the gearbox leaks a little oil when it sits and the driver side tail light is inoperable. (brake and turn signal work) Mike Kearney from 7 Enterprises has driven this car so he can tell you how nice it is. I have a Heritage Trust certificate showing the car is a real Cooper S. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 443-226-FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO On Jun-18-14 at 04:22:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Wheels are 10 x 6 GENUINE Minilites with Yokohame 008 165/70-10 tires. If you require shipping you must arrange it. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime since I will be selling this car using other resources. Please keep in mind that this car has been completely restored but it is still a used car. No warranties expressed or implied. |

BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
Mini officially reveals Frozen Black Countryman and Paceman
Sat, 19 Oct 2013BMW has been offering Frozen editions of its cars for several years now highlighted by matte paint and very limited production, and now Mini is getting in on the game with Frozen Black versions of the Paceman and Countryman. Unlike our report from earlier in the week, these models will not wear the Batman-sounding Black Knight name, but instead, like the BMW models, will be dubbed Frozen Edition. That previous intel also had it that production of the Frozen Edition Minis would be limited to just 60 units. Now official, Mini has not confirmed how many - or few - of these limited edition models it would build.
The Frozen Black paint adds silicates to the lacquer finish creating a "matted impression," which sounds like it should be easier for owners to maintain and wash, although Mini still advises against waxing or polishing. This special paint will be offered on all S, Diesel and John Cooper Works versions of the Paceman and Countryman, though it's not clear as of this writing if any will be offered in the US. Mini's press release for the Frozen Black Paceman and Countryman is posted below.
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.
