CLASSIC 1956 MORRIS MINOR
EXCELLENT CONDITION
RARE SPLIT SCREEN MORRIS MINOR IN EXCELLENT, ORIGINAL CONDITION.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST MODELS WITH THE SPLIT SCREEN. IT HAS THE SEMAPHORE TURN INDICATORS. THIS MINOR WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED ON JANUARY 26, 1956, AND PURCHASED IN IRELAND BY A MIDWIFE FROM W.H. ALEXANDER, LIMITED, IN BELFAST ON MARCH 26 1956. IT THEN HAD THREE ADDITIONAL OWNERS UNTIL 1975 WHEN A COLLECTOR PURCHASED THE CAR AND STORED IT IN COUNTY ANTRIM, IRELAND. IN 1985 ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM ENGLAND BOUGHT THE MORRIS TO ADD TO HIS COLLECTION OF MORRIS CARS. I PURCHASED THE MINOR IN APRIL 2007 FROM THE FAMILY ESTATE SALE.
THE CONDITION OF THE MORRIS IS EXCELLENT. ALL ORIGINAL, NO BODY DAMAGE, AND NO RUST AREAS. THE UNDERSIDE IS RUST-FREE AND VERY CLEAN. EVERYTHING ON THE MORRIS WORKS PERFECTLY. THERE ARE NO ISSUES. THE INTERIOR STILL HAS THAT OLD CAR LEATHER SMELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN STORAGE THAN ON THE ROAD.
ALL THE CHROME ITEMS WERE REPLACED INCLUDING NEW BONNET MOTIF, NEW BUMPERS, GRILL SURROUNDS, NEW DOOR OUTER DOOR HANDLES (VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND) BONNET AND BOOT HINGES AND NEW ORIGINAL PINSTRIPING. TWO NEW REAR TIRES WERE FITTED AND A NEW ORIGINAL HEADLINER.
I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BUFF LOG BOOK OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PLUS THE BRITISH MOTOR HERITAGE CERTIFICATE THAT CONFIRMS THE CAR'S AUTHENTICITY. PRIOR TO BEING IMPORTED INTO THE U.S., THE MORRIS UNDERWENT THE STRINGENT MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT TEST THAT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BRITISH VEHCILES THAT ARE MORE THAN THREE YEARS OF AGE. IT PASSED WITHOUT ANY ADVISORIES AND I HAVE THE CERTIFICATE. THE MILEAGE SHOWS 36,553 WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT.
THE MORRIS HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE AND IT SHOWS. MOST OF THESE MODELS ARE LONG GONE AND MOST THAT ARE AVAILABLE REQUIRE FULL RESTORATION. IT IS THE PERFECT COLLECTOR/SHOW CAR. IT RUNS AND DRIVES AS IT WOULD HAVE DONE IN 1956.

2015 Mini Countryman getting mild facelift for NY
Mon, 07 Apr 2014Mini has introduced three generations of retro hatchback since its revival in 2001, with numerous bodystyles spun off that core model. But the Countryman has always stood apart from the rest (save the Paceman which was in turn spun off of it). The Mini crossover is bigger than the rest of the lineup, has more doors, more driven wheels and a familiar yet different look.
There's an all-new model in the works, set to share its architecture with BMW's own front-drive family. But that's still a couple of years away, so to keep the Countryman looking fresh, Mini is reportedly preparing to roll out a mildly facelifted version at the upcoming New York Auto Show.
As we're still awaiting confirmation from the automaker, few details on the updated Countryman are available at this point, but word has it that it will only include some minor cosmetic enhancements to the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Just how comprehensive those updates will be, and how many of them will be derived from the latest Mini Cooper hardtop remain to be seen, but with the NY show just a week away, it won't be long before we find out.
Mini confirms first plug-in hybrid and it looks like it's based on the Countryman
Mon, Oct 17 2016Mini confirmed Sunday it's developing its first plug-in hybrid model, apparently based on the Countryman. The hybrid will utilize an electric motor that works with a combustion engine, expected to be a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder unit. Though the actual name wasn't specified, Mini said the vehicle will have two driving modes. With Auto eDrive, it can reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. Switching into Max eDrive increases top speed to approximately 77 miles per hour. The electric motor sends all of its power to the rear wheels, while the combustion engine powers the front wheels. The engine only kicks on in certain situations. Mashing the throttle brings the engine to life, as does switching the car into "Save Battery" mode, which allows the engine to charge the hybrid's battery through a generator while powering the vehicle. The engine also comes on if the vehicle's all-wheel-drive-system senses a loss in traction. Inside, the changes include a yellow start/stop button (instead of red) and a power display in place of the traditional tachometer. Mini's previous electrification efforts included the Mini E, which had a range under 100 miles and was available for leasing in 2009. Expect the plug-in hybrid to debut in 2019.

On Location in California with BMW and Mini
Thu, Feb 25 2016A mid-winter escape from frigid Michigan to drive a trio of new BMW and Mini products? It'd be a busy couple of days, but you can't argue with Southern California in February. The temperatures in LA, where we drove the Mini Cooper S Convertible, hovered in the mid-80s, and it was solidly in the 70s further north, at Monterey, where we drove the M2 and X4 M40i. The highlight of the trip was Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, which is a rewarding track to drive in a street car. The M2 was a blast there. The canyon roads above Malibu in the Mini were a close second, but even the lazy drive down the PCH to Big Sur was a blast. More important is the California state of mind we were in when driving all three of these cars. I've spent a lot of time in this state, and it has a complicated relationship with the car – and there's also a huge difference in attitude between the greater Bay Area and Southern California. Ample sun and twisty roads clash with image-consciousness, eco-consciousness, and brutal urban gridlock, and each BMW dealt with that paradox admirably, in its own way. Take a quick jaunt to California with me and check out the locations and experiences that helped form our impressions of these vehicles: the 2016 BMW M2 First Drive, the 2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible First Drive, and the 2016 BMW X4 M40i Quick Spin.
