This is a VTEC conversion I had built. I wanted to be able to surprise some people on The Dragon (near my home). And I wanted to build a classic Mini that I could drive on the interstate in comfort. I installed A/C and Cruise control. This is a drivers car, not perfect, presentable enough to go to cruise in's. I Have taken it to many Mini meets, and shows. I started with a rust free 1972 Mini imported from Australia. For those not in the know, these cars had exterior hinged doors, roll up windows, and vent windows (very rare in a Mini). I wanted to keep the car RIGHT HAND STEERING, so I purchased the MTK package. The items from Minitec include- wide wheel fender flairs, A/C, front and rear braided brake hoses, aluminum engine mounts, super brakes, MK1 mounting kit, MTK Package, K wiring harness, Flip front end kit, racing petal kit, rear coil over sub frame kit. This was a cost of $10,874. Other items purchased were- Honda K20 2A engine (used with less than 40K miles) and 6 speed transmission w/ limited slip, Cost of $3500. Wheels and tires, cost $1000. Dakota Digital dash and cruise control, cost $700. K Pro programmable ECU, cost $1200. Donor car, cost $6000 . Paint, cost $3000. Seats from a Honda Prelude, cost $300. I have spent more than $26,174 in parts for this car. I have driven this car for 4 years. It has traveled 5400 miles since it was put together. The unfinished parts are The underside of the front end and the boot have Not been painted. The back seat is still original. There has been No stereo installed, there are speakers in the back. I have Not built a console around the shifter. This car is a driver, if the winning bidder wants to fly to the Knoxville, TN. airport I will meet them to drive it home. Shipping is the responsibility of the winning bidder. I will assist with loading. There is no warranty implied or given. $500 non-refundable deposit by paypal within 48 hours. With remainder by bank transfer or cash, cleared before the car will be released. My reserve is less than half what I've put into it in parts. Call 865-310-9584 during normal hours Eastern Time if you have questions. |

Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a hot hatch crossover coupe
Thu, 13 Dec 2012The 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.
Next Mini Countryman spotted with swirls
Wed, 03 Sep 2014Mini is continuing to update its models onto its latest UKL front-wheel-drive platform that it shares with parent BMW. Here, our spies caught an early glimpse of the next-gen Countryman testing on the new chassis.
Like the rest of the updated Mini lineup, the latest Countryman doesn't exactly show a huge shift in styling from the current version. The front end appears to be slightly more blunt, and the headlights have a redesigned shape. However, behind the A-pillar the differences seem to be pretty subtle. At the rear, the new Countryman also looks to adopt the brand's rounded rectangle taillights protruding into the hatch like on the standard Cooper Hardtop range. While not shown here, our spies claim that Mini is also aiming for a roomier interior for the upcoming crossover so that it can be more competitive in its class.
At least for now, the Countryman is going to be the largest vehicle in the Mini range, according to an earlier statement from chief designer Anders Warming. The CUV is rumored to debut around 2016 with some assembly possibly done at Mini's plant in the Netherlands. Until then, have a look at these spy shots and tell us what you think.
Mini John Cooper Works previewed in camo keeping gas performance alive
Mon, May 20 2024Curious about the next Mini Cooper JCW? Well, here’s a great sneak peek, as Mini just dropped a cache of photos showing it in race guise and wearing a thin layer of camouflage. WeÂ’ve already seen the electric John Cooper Works version of the two-door hardtop Mini, but this is the gas-powered variant. Many of the design elements weÂ’re seeing here like the grille, front lower side vents, rear bumper and more should make their way to the production car, which Mini says will be revealed this fall. The grille might be new, but it looks a whole lot like the front end we saw on the outgoing Mini Cooper JCW. That said, it adopts the new shape and minimalist vibes from the 2025 Mini weÂ’ve seen in the less-sporty variants. The rear end with its taillights are what we expect from the production car, though the rear diffuser shouldnÂ’t be anywhere near that aggressive. The specific car youÂ’re looking at here is covered in red and white camo as an homage to the red and white color schemes used in the 1960s for Minis in motorsports. It also has a “37” logo to commemorate the Mini Cooper SÂ’ victory (a car wearing 37) at the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo. We still donÂ’t know specs, but since Mini is done with manual transmissions, expect this JCW to feature an automatic paired with an updated version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine found in the outgoing model. It should also feature a sportier version of the interior weÂ’ve already seen in the new Cooper. All the details will be made available before the year is out, but for now, enjoy these photos as a preview of whatÂ’s to come.
