This vehicle I restored with Ken at Rally Sport in New Haven VT. The vehicle was completely gutted and rebuilt to exacting standards for the dual purpose of road ability and some low key sports car events. Restoration Included a brand new 1380cc engine (with some upgrades) and 4 speed transmission. We finished the project in late 2009 and shortly there after I moved to Cape Cod driving it down under its own magnificent power! I have driven it sporadically and shown it in a couple of car events and a parade but never competitively. I may have put a total of 1500 miles on it and the engine seems to have broken-in well. It is an original right hand drive car but everything else has been upgraded. All new leatherette interior with wooden dash upgrades from England.

The only known defect is a non-working gas gauge - it did work but read in reverse, full when empty. Since odometer works never seemed to need to repair gauge. Always garaged and covered.

This is a very drive-able and loads of fun car and a real head turner. The mileage on the odometer shows 39,000 + and probably it was accurate but I listed 1500 since that is my guesstimate since restoration. Some other items, Front Disc Brakes, rear finned drums, adjustable suspension, upgraded clutch components and many more. Have close to 60K invested, an expensive project but much fun and the results show the quality of the restoration!

Reason for selling - I'm now 73, bought a camper and plan to travel. Cars are meant to be driven and not sitting in garages so will part reluctantly with my Mini. As an aside I used to race and rally Mini's in the 60's and 70's so am very familiar with these cars and this is a true winner! Another aside is that I am five foot ten inches and weigh 250 lbs - a very easy fit for me. The car is at my home on Cape Cod and will gladly show to any legitimate buyer.

World record practice jump doesn't go as planned for Chicherit

Wed, Mar 19 2014

French rally driver Guerlain Chicherit is a very lucky man. He had hoped to beat Tanner Foust's 332-feet car jump record (which nearly went awry itself) with a 360-foot leap in a specially built Mini to score a new Guinness World Record at the French ski resort of Tignes. However, things didn't go to plan, and Chicherit suffered a massive crash during the attempt. According to The Local, emergency services were on the scene immediately, and he was transported to the hospital by helicopter, but Chicherit is in better condition than anyone could have expected. He has been on Facebook since the crash and appears to be in great spirits. He wrote: "I have to stay to the hospital for the night just for safety, I'm all ok !!!" The jump was originally scheduled for Sunday, March 16, but heavy fog delayed it until today. Warning: The crash is quite graphic, but remember Chicherit wasn't seriously injured.

Mini headed to North Pole to meet Santa Claus

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

It seems that retailers are bringing out the Christmas decorations earlier each year, but Mini's premature holiday spirit could be one for the record books. The day after Black Friday, the "Mini Goes to Santa Claus" adventure will depart from BMW headquarters in Munich, Germany and head up Rovaniemi, Finland (just outside the Arctic Circle) to deliver Christmas letters to Santa Claus -he must have an mail outpost here for his North Pole workshop. Guinness World Records is also getting involved with this trek, by competing for a for the longest-ever wish list to Santa.
Mini has assembled teams of vehicles from 16 countries consisting of all of its current models to drive the almost 1,900 miles. Although it won't be a part of the convoy, the Mini Paceman will be in Rovaniemi to welcome the groups along with former rally driver Rauno Aaltonen who will "demonstrate his unequalled talent" while driving the Paceman. We're not exactly sure what this means, but snowy climates and rally drivers always seem to be a recipe for great entertainment to us.
Scroll down for Mini's press release, but we'll have to wait until later in the month to see what should be some pretty cool pictures of the trip.
