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.

John Cooper Works Mini rolls into Detroit, asks 'GTI who?'

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Mini marched into the 2015 Detroit Auto Show and introduced its very own competitor to the Volkswagen GTI with new John Cooper Works Hardtop. Blessed with 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet from its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, the new JCW should provide a more thrilling drive than the standard Cooper S (not that the 189-hp model lacked in terms of entertainment value). The 6.4-second sprint to 60 falls to 6.1 in the JCW, while owners should expect an even more agile handling experience courtesy of an uprated version of the Cooper S' sports suspension. Upgraded Brembo brakes, larger wheels and stickier tires and an electronic differential round out the performance upgrades, although Mini also paid significant attention to the aesthetics. A revised aero kit doesn't do the third-generation Works car many favors in the appearance department, but as both driver and front passengers will find themselves in a set of exclusive JCW sports seats, they'll probably be too comfortable and supportive to care. A JCW steering wheel, shift lever, door sills and instrument cluster tweaks mark the extent of the interior updates. Take a look at our full live gallery of images of the new JCW Mini direct from the floor of the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The new MINI John Cooper Works. 10.12.2014 - Green light for the latest edition of the top athlete in the small car segment; the new MINI John Cooper Works combines authentic race feeling with the premium characteristics and extended product substance of the latest MINI Generation; distinctive, tradition-steeped, based on a vehicle concept combining MINI and John Cooper Works, with performance qualities which are exceptional within the competitive environment. - Extreme driving fun and exclusive charisma based on technology for engine, suspension and aerodynamics derived directly from motor racing as well as model-specific design features for the exterior and interior; greater differentiation from the MINI 3 door highlights the model's individual character.

Xcar takes the Mini Challenge, and it sounds awesome

Wed, Jan 28 2015

The third-generation Mini is well and truly on sale in markets across the world. The new four-door model should be arriving soon, if it isn't already on sale in your neck of the woods, and the latest John Cooper Works model made its official debut just a few weeks ago at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. We aren't going to be talking about any of those right now, though. That's because our chums at Xcar took it upon themselves to sample the third-generation Mini Challenge racecar, a 275-horsepower, hardcore, fully committed competition version of the otherwise adorable Mini Cooper S. At roughly 30,000 British pounds (about $45,200 at today's rates) there's a lot to like about the Challenge car. Aside from a gutted cabin and aggressive aerodynamic kit, the racer has been fitted with slick tires, a Quaife sequential gearbox, adjustable dampers, Alcon brakes and a consequently lower curb weight – under 2,600 pounds with an average-sized driver. It's fair to say the Challenge driving experience figures to be unlike your typical road-going Mini. And considering that, we think the folks that built the car, Total Track, have fulfilled their promise of delivering a "touring car experience at a fraction of the cost." Have a look at the Xcar video and let us know what you think. Be sure to crank up your speakers, because the Challenge sounds excellent.
