Up for your bidding pleasure is my very rare and well-kept example of a 1972 Austin Mini Cooper!! This is a rare Right Hand Drive model and it is not your average mini... This mini started life as a mini 1000 but has had a significant horsepower bump with the following engine modifications:

-Bored out A+ 1275

-Hypatec flat top pistons

-940 head

-276 cam

-hif6 su carburetor

-Full rc-40 exhaust.

 

To help this speedy Mini Cooper shift it has:

-New rod shift gearbox

-2.9 final drive ration (Cruising at 80-85mph can be done easily with normal engine RPM's)

 

But what about driving around the corners and come to a safe and quick stop:

-New bushings

-New bearings

-New tie rod ends

-New ball joints

-Adjustable ride height suspension cones

-1.5 degree camber control arms

-Adjustable caster angle. (Note: all suspension work completed in 2012)

Worried about rockers or floor pans!? Well Don't!! WHY?

-Replaced floor pan (there is still light rust holes in floor pan but is currently in drivable and stable condition!)

-Replaced rockers

        

Overall this car was set up to accelerate quickly, go around turns like a GO-KART and stop safely. The paint is a few years old and is in good condition. I will be including Thule roof rack as well. I have a clean Virginia title in hand ready to transfer!!! All turn signals, and lights work, the windshield wipers even work! Oil pressure and gas gauges work along with the aftermarket cd player, this thing can be driven everyday!! The odometer and speedometer are INOP due to an old cable needing replacement, this is really the only thing that I would want to fix but have gotten used to driving without those two items.

VIN # XA2S1N617371A 

I am only selling this vehicle inside of the good ol' U.S.A! I will expect a non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the auction close and full payment by cash, or certified check. If you decide to use PayPal for the full balance of the car YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL FEES!! I will not pay fees on a full PayPal transaction so please keep this in mind PRIOR to bidding. I don't mind using PayPal for the deposit. I have done my best to describe this beautiful little mini cooper but please ask questions prior to bidding because this is being sold AS-IS. Please keep in mind this car is 42 years old and will not be perfect, although I have tried!!! I will make transaction quick and easy for the winning bidder. I have bought and sold cars before and understand what needs to be done. 

 

Good luck bidding and you will LOVE this thing!!!

The original Mini Cooper still has universal appeal

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

It sold over five million units. It was voted the second most influential car of the last century, bested only by the pioneering Ford Model T. It counted among its owners Steve McQueen, Enzo Ferrari and Peter Sellers. It is the classic Mini.
The tiny, two-box, four-seat hatch is an automotive icon of the first order and it's high time it featured in an episode of Petrolicious. Of course, the video gurus did it right, filming this handsome 1971 Mini, which has been modified to accommodate the 1,275-cc four-cylinder from the Mini Cooper S of the time.
Its owner, Sumner Norman, describes life with his right-hand-drive, UK-spec Mini. Naturally, he points out some of the idiosyncrasies inherent with a car built under the guise of British Leyland, including some of well known reliability woes, which he says is the car "going British." Mostly, though, he just seems to have a good time with the little hatch.

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.

Mini 60 Years Edition celebrates six decades since the original hit the streets

Wed, Jan 16 2019

The original Mini launched in 1959, making this year the car's 60th anniversary. To celebrate, Mini is offering a special Mini 60 Years Edition car for the 2019 model year. Mini did a pretty awesome photo shoot for this limited-edition car, showing us how big the Mini is now compared to what it used to be in 1959. That might not have been the point, but man is it interesting to see the two chugging along next to each other. You can order the 60 Years Edition with either the three-door or five-door Mini — the larger Clubman and Countryman will not be getting this treatment. As for the changes from Mini, it's mostly aesthetic. The standard color is a British racing green, but you could choose among four other non-green colors, too. Mini will paint the roof either white or black, and the same goes for the exterior mirror caps. Plenty of stripes are already available for Minis, but this special edition has unique hood stripes — the 60 Years logo appears on just the left-hand hood stripe. That's just the beginning when it comes to anniversary stickers and logos. You'll see the designation on the door sills, interior trim, front headrests, steering wheel, and the logo is even projected onto the ground by LED light upon opening the door. Mini 60 Years Edition View 33 Photos A bunch of equipment is made standard in these 60 Year cars for a bit more luxury. Full LED lighting front and back comes with all of them. The interior trim is done in an exclusive dark maroon color — the sports seats and leather steering wheel will also be standard equipment. In the U.S. you'll be able to get either the normal Cooper or the Cooper S with this special edition package. This means either the 1.5-liter turbo or 2.0-liter turbo will be up for grabs with your 60 Years Edition Mini. These particular cars will be available in March this year, but Mini doesn't spell out pricing nor production numbers for them. Since the changes aren't necessarily drastic, we wouldn't expect an unruly price, but expect to pony up a bit more for the privilege of owning one of these.
