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 Clubman Bond Street inspired by London shopping
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Mini again plucks a London landmark as the appellation for a special edition, the Mini Clubman Bond Street joining the Mayfair and Camden, and Bayswater and Baker Street editions of the recent past. You'll recognize the formula of primary color and polished contrasting color, in this case its Midnight Black Metallic for the main event and Cool Champagne for the highlights like the roof, mirror caps and trim rings on the 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside it's Carbon Black leather set off by surfaces in Deep Champagne and the Chrome Line package.
It will premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March before going into production for a limited run that same month. Four engines will be offered, with on-the-road prices ranging from 20,275 pounds ($31,961 US) in the UK for the 122-horsepower gas engine to 24,045 pounds ($37,918 US) for the 143-horsepower SD diesel version. A press release below will tell you all you wish to know.
Mini Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity
Fri, 10 May 2013This year's award for Life Ball Mini designer goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Life Ball is a charity event held in Vienna, Austria every year that raises money to fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since 2001, the year of its reintroduction, Mini has been involved with the ball, auctioning a car that has been made over by a world-famous designer. This year Cavalli gets the nod and a Paceman for a canvas.
The iridescent brown/black paint is the eye-catcher in the sketch above (click to enlarge), but don't forget to note Cavalli's logo on the roof. We're not sure what other flourishes he has in mind for the car, but those in attendance will find out on May 24 when it's unveiled at the Cavalli store opening in Vienna. The press release below has more details.
Mini's matte Countryman Black Knight Edition rises
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Mini is certainly no stranger to a special edition, as unique option and styling packs have been a staple of the Mini line since its return to the US market, but it's next special trim is quite a big departure from previous cars. It's based on the Countryman, and is called the Black Knight Edition.
As you cans see from the image up top, it'll sport a sinister, matte-black paint scheme, making this Mini not unlike BMW's range of Frozen Edition cars. First reported on by those Mini-obsessed folks at MotoringFile, the Black Knight Edition Countryman will be limited to 60 units, and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, making this car quite a bit different from previous special editions, which generally stuck around for a full model year.
According to MF, the matte finish will only be available on the Cooper S Countryman, although oddly, one of the teaser images shows a John Cooper Works badge. BKE models should be coming nearly loaded, which means that there's not a lot of customization done and the price tag is probably going to be exorbitant for a Mini. Buyers will, though, have the choice of front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
