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 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!!!

2020 Mini Countryman gains discounted Oxford Edition, program opens up to everybody

Thu, May 21 2020

Mini is extending the Oxford Edition program to the 2020 Countryman and making all Oxford Edition pricing available to the public at large. Previously, Mini only offered the Oxford Edition pricing to recent college grads, graduate students and active and recently retired military personnel. It was also limited to the two-door and four-door Hardtops. Similar to the excellent value added by the Hardtops, the Countryman also adds a fleet of standard equipment for a discounted price. The base price of a Countryman is $29,750, including the $850 destination charge. A Countryman Oxford Edition starts at $26,750, representing a $3,000 discount off the bat. However, Mini throws in a bunch of equipment from the mid-level Signature trim that makes this an even tastier dish. You get 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, automatic climate control, an anthracite headliner and additional paint color options. Mini says that those added options represent $5,500 worth of added value over a base Countryman. Those up north will also be glad to hear that Mini is offering the same deal for the Countryman ALL4 with all-wheel drive. Simply add $2,000 to the front-drive model, and you’re left with a price of $28,750 — all the same equipment as the front-drive car is onboard. The Countryman was a rather pricey proposition before, but this makes it much more appealing. WeÂ’ll note that this deal is being offered on 2020 Countrymans, so the dual-clutch automatic transmission is the only option. 2021 Minis are said to be regaining three-pedal options, but Mini hasnÂ’t confirmed manual transmission offerings for the Countryman or Clubman yet. 2020 Countryman Oxford Editions will begin arriving at dealerships in “limited numbers” starting in July. Pricing for the 2021 Cooper Hardtop is also available now. Thankfully, itÂ’s no more expensive than it was before, with the two-door slotting in at $20,600. A four-door is $1,000 more at $21,600.

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a hot hatch crossover coupe

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

The Mini John Cooper Works Paceman, the seventh in the JCW line and called "the first Sports Activity Coupe in its class," is here. It takes its place at the top of the Paceman food chain with a 1.6-liter, twin-scroll turbocharged engine putting out 218 horsepower, with 201 pound-feet of torque on tap and 221 lb-ft available with overboost. Those numbers get the JCW Paceman from zero to 62 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds with either the six-speed manual or automatic transmission, but top speed with the automatic is one mile per hour shy of the manual's 140 mph. Fuel economy has been rated at a combined 35.8 US mpg on the EU cycle.
It earns its JCW stripes with a suspension that's been lowered by 10 millimeters over 18-inch lightweight alloys, Mini's ALL4 all-wheel drive, an aero kit to beef up its profile, plus a sports exhaust with dual chrome pipes. Inside, a sport steering wheel and plenty of contrasting materials represent the lineage, further emboldened by Chili Red accents to match the exterior.
The Mini JCW Paceman will say "'Allo, guv'nor" to the world at the Detroit Auto Show next month, then hit showrooms in March. The press release just below can tell you all you want to know about it until then.

Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
