This car is the very best vehicle you can have - if you always wanted a motorcycle but were afraid to ride. No helmet required - your friend can sit next to you, and you can still smell the BBQ & fresh cut grass as you drive through a neighborhood. It is in good enough condition to drive anywhere - like Las Vegas, (range is about 280 miles per tank) but not so pristine that you are afraid to leave it in a parking lot. It has enough power for freeway travel, and to get up into the mountains, enough charm to be in parades & shows, and enough cargo room and agility to be super useful for projects around the house. this car is NOT a numbers-matching preserved authentic heritage vehicle - but the only Chinese parts on it are the seat covers. If you love Moke's this is your chance to get an unusual, unique and super sweet ride you don't have to dump a bunch of money & time into. I have a lot of extra parts - like front grilles in orange, white and purple - which may be available. I have metal - like fender panels and trim - some of which were supposed to have been already used by the last guy who did body work on it. He did it his way, instead of how I requested - and the rust is peeking through after several years. There is certainly room for some improvement = I would put spring suspension in it - but it is very use-able just as it is. ***Please note - the speedo and stated mileage are in KILOMETERS!!! a NOS engine and NOS speedo were installed together during an amateur restoration also involving poor prep pre-paint. SO - in MILES - it is about 10,500, and it goes about 68. One time, late at night on a deserted freeway, going downhill with a tailwind, I think I might have seen 135 (83) for just a second. Or it could have been a gnat in my eye. But I also sometimes have to drive in the margin far right of the slow lane because it can't keep up on extended hills (Cajon Pass). The 998 and other associated mechanical components have all been kept at or near stock configuration.

2023 Mini lineup gets smarter, more colorful

Fri, Feb 25 2022

Mini has already announced the changes it's making to its line-up for the 2023 model year. The numerous special-edition models that it unveiled in February 2022 will be joined by new exterior colors, additional upholstery options and more available driving aids. While a completely new version of the Hardtop is on its way, the current-generation model will return for 2023 — it might be its final model year. Buyers who select the Signature or the Iconic version of the Cooper S or the John Cooper Works can order Zesty Yellow, which is an eye-catching color that was inaugurated by the 2022 Convertible. Multi-tone roof options are also available on the aforementioned variants. The electric SE's Signature and Iconic trim levels can be ordered in Island Blue, while Rooftop Gray leaves the palette. And, the Iconic trim level can be configured with Cloth Leatherette Black Pearl, Cloth Leatherette Black Pearl Light Checkered and Chesterfield Leather Malt Brown upholsteries. Mini notes that this is the first time it offers the Chesterfield Leather Malt Brown option on the battery-powered Hardtop. Park Assist and a head-up display join the list of features included in the Driver Assistance package, while adaptive cruise control is now a standalone option. In turn, this makes the Driver Assistance Package available regardless of whether buyers get a stick or an automatic, because adaptive cruise control isn't compatible with the manual transmission. And, yes: the stick shift is sticking around for 2023. Similar changes apply to the Clubman and the Countryman. The former is available with the same multi-tone roof option as the Hardtop and with the Driver Assistance Package regardless of transmission type, and the Driver Assistance package offered on both models gains Park Assist and a head-up display. Finally, the space-saver spare tire is exclusively offered as a standalone options on both bigger Mini models. Pricing for the 2023 model year stays relatively flat, which is a nice surprise. The only exceptions are the Cooper variants of the Hardtop, the Convertible and the Countryman, which cost $500 more than they did in 2022.

Mini Rocketman back on the table, might go aluminum

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

Mini just doesn't want its Rocketman concept to die. It unveiled the truly mini model at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, and since then, there have been countless on-again, off-again rumors about the possibility of it going into production. If the latest talk proves true, a smaller vehicle like the Rocketman might make it into the automaker's lineup after all, as competitor to other stylish city cars like the Smart ForTwo.
According to the company's head of design, Anders Warming, speaking to Auto Express, Mini likes the idea of having a smaller model in its lineup, but it has to figure out a way of actually making it work. Warming is clear that the next iteration of the Rocketman concept (or whatever it's called then) won't be seen until a design is ready.
There are still plenty of challenges keeping a production Rocketman off of the city streets of the world, and chief among them continues to be finding a platform. But Mini is at least considering it. "At the moment, we don't have the right tech solutions, but we are working on it. We don't yet have a final solution, you could say," said Warming to Auto Express. He also thinks the final version would drop the concept's carbon fiber in favor of more aluminum components.
