1986 Classic Mini Here is one of five classic mini's that I imported about two years ago from the UK. Two have been sold and this is the last one. I'm keeping the other two. The only reason that I picked these particular Mini's to sell is because one that I'm keeping is a bare shell now and the other is an automatic trans with A/C. This particular mini has a 1275cc engine out of an early 1990's Mini with the SPI engine. This is not a fuel injected Mini. She, Teresa, has been fitted with a 1 3/4 HIF44 SU Carb. I live outside of Seattle, about 85 miles NW and have driven her to Portland twice. Runs great. The fastest I had her up to was 85MPH. She wanted to go faster but the State Patrol in this state doesn't have much of a sense of humor so I had to back down to 75. The fiberglass kit that surrounds her I believe is what is referred to as a Zemec kit in England. It is such a clean job that you would think she came from the factory this way. She does have one small crack in the fiberglass which I have tried to show in the photos. As the pictures show, she does not have her original seats but they are adjustable and she doesn't have a rear seat. Rear seats are sold new from 7ent.com, a big classic mini parts supplier in California. A couple of items do not work. The speedometer cable is broken. I know that for a fact because I can pull it out. I use my GPS as a speedometer. The tach isn't accurate I was told that it is inaccurate because of the engine swap. The engine was designed as a fuel injected and now she isn't. And the clock doesn't work. She came without a radio and she still doesn't have one. She has a roof antenna with the cable running to the radio cutout. The UK title shows her color as silver, but I'm guessing that she has been repainted as the paint job looks really good. The headliner has also probably been redone. Looks great in its jet black, felt like finish. No cuts or tears. The interior is flawless. The carpet and seats are also in really great shape. Teresa has had a number of upgrades since I got her. Two items are the Pertronix Ignitor II distributor replaced the stock distributor and she was fitted with a Flame Thrower HV High Voltage Coil. Their are numerous other upgrades and are shown on copies of the invoices from Jet Motors. Jet Motors deal exclusively with Classic Mini's. The only two items that I can think of where I don't have copies of the invoice is the clutch master cylinder rubber hose was replaced with a braided stainless steel one and the HIF44 Carb was completely rebuilt by SUcarb.com Actual mileage listed may be higher because I do drive her. Listing may end early because she is listed locally. $100.00 Paypal non refundable deposit due within 24 hours. Balance must be paid for by wire transfer or certified check within 72 hours. I will consider a REASONABLE offer. Just email if you are a serious buyer. Clear WA State title in my name. If your in the area, your more than welcome to take her for a drive. The Buy it Now price is less than what the car cost me, Cost involved were the cost of Teresa, having the car picked up from the purchase location and delivered to the Southampton docks, the cost of the boat, all the custom fees, the broker to handle the mountain of paperwork, Tacoma dock fees, the cost to have her transported from Tacoma to Port Angeles, and finally all the cost to have her registered here in WA state. Thank you for looking. |

Watch Chris Harris take a 360° tour of the new Top Gear track
Wed, Jun 1 2016For the new series of the BBC's Top Gear, the familiar test track has been reimagined. Gone is the Astra that the celebrities used to bash around the track, replaced by a rallycross Mini. And what better way to get acquainted to the new track than a 360° video of a lap around the track? It's even presented to us by the Top Gear Chris we like, Chris Harris! Harris gets the Mini fantastically sideways on the asphalt sections, and gives it some stick through the gravel sections and splashes of water. It's a bumpy ride tailored for the kitted-out Mini – even if one can't help but wonder if it would be better television to see a fish-out-of-water car like a humdrum, front-wheel-drive Astra thrashed through the course instead. The Mini almost has it too easy, even if celebrity drivers will surely find the track hard to master. As a note of functionality, the video will only play as intended if you are using Google Chrome, says Top Gear.

Upcoming Mini 5-door hatch spied in the snow
Mon, 17 Feb 2014We are about to get a flood of new Mini models now that the new 2014 model is officially out. In just the past few months, we've seen spy shots of the next-generation John Cooper Works and so-called Traveler crossover, and here we have the upcoming five-door hatchback in Cooper S form, a model that, like the Traveler, is expected to effectively obviate the need for the slow-selling Clubman.
Mini is not exactly hiding that this is a new five-door model, even with its camouflage - the rear door line and handle are clear as day. Also, compared to the three-door Cooper Hardtop, there appears to be an added pillar and additional length at the rear. The hatch also appears to be mounted at a steeper angle than the standard Mini. Also, you have to admit that the Mickey-Mouse-ear fog lights are cute, even if Mini would never actually sell it that way.
Expect to see even more variants soon, if BMW and Mini want to reach their goal of selling over a million front-wheel drive vehicles - an earlier report indicated there could be as many as 23 front-wheel drive cars from the brands in the coming years.
BMW, Sixt carsharing making money most places
Wed, Aug 20 2014The DriveNow carsharing service, which is a partnership between BMW and Sixt, is growing quite rapidly. "We've been surprised about the explosion of new subscriptions, which has helped boost revenue," says Sixt CEO Erich Sixt. The number of DriveNow users has increased from 215,000 at the end of last year to 300,000 today. Sixt says that DriveNow has been profitable in cities in which it has been established for over a year. Perhaps encouraged by its unexpected success, DriveNow is set to expand even further. The service is currently available in five German cities, as well as in San Francisco, California, and the involved parties are considering a five-year plan to expand to 25 more cities in Europe and the US. Still, Sixt expects DriveNow to report a "small-to-medium, single-digit" loss for this year, according to Sixt CFO Julian zu Putlitz. It's no big deal, just the result of startup costs in new areas. Sixt, which is Germany's largest car rental company, also reported that its own second-quarter income rose 12 percent to $37.7 million, while sales rose 7.6 percent to $585.78 million. DriveNow uses a membership and pay-per-minute model that allows customers to rent BMW and Mini vehicles as they need them. The service also acts as a way to let potential customers try out the vehicles and familiarize themselves with the brands before they buy cars of their own at some point. Depending on the location, DriveNow's fleet includes the BMW 1 Series, ActiveE and X1, as well as several Mini vehicles like the Cooper, Clubman and Countryman.
