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.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]

Wed, 30 Jul 2014



Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

JCW Tuning Kit comes to Mini Countryman and Clubman

Tue, Oct 31 2017

Mini devoted one line in the middle of its SEMA press release to the limited-edition Ice Blue Cooper S Hardtop on show at SEMA. We'll give it a few more lines: the Ice Blue hue hasn't been available since 2013, and Mini's being coy about how long the color will hang around. Available on two-door Cooper models, the Ice Blue package adds optional features beyond color, like custom wheel caps and Mini Connected, and adds a few thousand dollars to the MSRP depending on which Cooper you start with. Ready for the big Mini news? The John Cooper Works Tuning Kit will soon be available for Cooper S and Cooper S ALL4 Countryman and Clubman; before now, the kit could only be had for the Cooper S hardtop and convertible. The kit juices horsepower up to 208 hp from 189 hp, and throws in another 14 pound-feet of torque to top out at 221 lb-ft. The stainless-steel exhaust reduces exhaust gas back pressure, and can be controlled via Bluetooth for Sport or Sport+ auditory response. Sport, we're told, is safe for any road, while Sport+ makes a track-only kind of cacophony. The back-end growl gets piped through either chrome or carbon fiber tailpipes. The JCW Tuning Kit goes on sale in January 2018 for $1,950, and can be installed at any Mini dealer.
