Up for sale is my prized collectors find that I no longer have the time to finish. Hoping to pass it on to a fellow enthusiast who will restore it to its glory.
1959 Classic Mini Cooper Shell / Early 1960 Austin 850 MKI First Original Production Year Body Style TITLE Titled Florida 1959 Austin Mini - Clean in Hand ABOUT Started Restoration and unfortunately have no time to complete. Taken half the car to bare metal and primed, then started working on floor when work stopped. Car is in amazing shape except for the floors. I have all period correct metal ready to weld in, spent a full year aquiring and having the piecs custom made. This is an extremely early MK1 car and as such they do not make the body panels for them. So the starting auction price is at my cost for the body $2k and new custom metal at $4k, not the hundred hours already invested. Body is in extremely great shape for these first cars, only the floors need attention for which I have painstakenly assembled and had custom made in Europe and shipped to the states. Key Features in the 1959/Early '60 Minis that make them unique and rare.
You can download the 1959/60 Mini Buyers guide PDF here COMPLETED it will look like this if you choose. Body was originally painted Farina Grey. note picture is an example only.
WHAT YOU GET Everything seen in the photos below unless otherwise stated. There will also be a few extras thrown in depending on what is found when I clean out the storage unit. Basically you are bidding on the Shell, Doors, Boot Lid, and Floorpans, Steering wheel, Gas Tank, plus both front and rear subframes. Anything else is a bonus or negotiated extra.CURRENT STATE OF BUILD
the cracking you see in the above and below image is paint from stripper, metal around grill is great
If there are any other photos I missed you wish to see please let me know. INCLUDED ARE ALL OF THE REPLACEMENT PERIOD CORRECT METAL FOR THE EARLY FLOORS.
Note half of these panels had to be custom made by M-Machine in Europe since this is such an early car no one sells or makes single sill floors.
Door bottom repair LH Mk1-2, Van and Pickup
NOT INCLUDED BUT AVAILABLE AT ADDITIONAL COST ARE 1959 EARLY FLOOR PLANS ALSO CUSTOM MADE
SHIPPING I am located in Orlando, FL. I will arrange shipping to you at your expense at lowest cost possible. or you can make your own arrangements. The car is not on wheels so it will need to be boxed or loaded on a flatbed. If you are in the South East I can trailer the car to you at cost for time and gas. I can box and ship freight via truck anywhere in the USA. If you are overseas you will need to arrange your own transport, I can get it loaded on a freight truck from normal warehouse loading dock. Again you are responsible for any shipping expenses. car weight and floor pans is probably 700-1000 lbs. Please plan accordingly before bidding! BONUS (not included in this auction but available to purchase by winner separately) I will also be selling many extremely rare 1959 pieces separately that I have collected over the years. These are separate from this auction price but the winning bidder will have first access to make an offer and potentially get a discount on a full lot purchase.

Drive On The Left | The List #0033
Thu, Jul 14 2016When you've been driving on the right side of the road your whole life, driving on the left can be incredibly disorienting. In this episode of The List, hosts Jessi Combs and Patrick McIntyre brave the traffic-filled streets of London as they take in the sights in a Mini Cooper. "London is not a driving city. There are millions of people and millions of cars," said Patrick. "And the streets seem to have been laid out at random over the centuries." Even Jessi found herself battling old habits in the right-hand drive Mini. "I've already gone over to reach for the door twice to shift it," she said. Our hosts dig into the history behind the traffic swap on the other side of the pond as they attempt to check "Drive On The Left" off their List.

Major Alexa deal will bring Amazon services into more cars
Wed, Jan 9 2019Amazon and its personal assistance service Alexa are partnering with HERE Technologies to create a new connected mobility service powerhouse. Alexa will integrate with HERE's navigation and location services to offer what the two companies are calling a "true voice-first-navigation experience." Alexa will come pre-integrated with HERE navigation on-demand, which the automakers can then enable, which should help cut down on development time. One of the biggest features from this partnership is how directions could be offered and delivered using HERE's Open Location Platform (OLP). Currently, the OLP uses data from several car manufacturers to provide insights into real-time location and traffic. But on Alexa, this could be used to provide directional context. For example, Alexa could say, "Turn right after [such-and-such a building]" rather than just, "Turn right." Amazon has been testing the automotive waters throughout the past decade. Its home-based Alexa-enabled devices are already offered with connections to several manufacturers. To various degrees of integration, it can already pair with Ford, Genesis, Toyota, Lexus, Hyundai and BMW vehicles. At the end of 2018, Amazon took things a step further when it introduced the Echo Auto, a Bluetooth-connected Alexa assistant device that can be physically kept in a car. Currently only available by invitation (its production and distribution have been delayed), the $25 device is essentially a voice service that works together with smartphones and connects to a car's speakers. Users can command it to do a variety of things, including playing music, setting navigation, opening the garage door, finding local stores, making calls, setting reminders, and thousands of other "skills." According to The Verge, nearly 1 million people have already ordered the device. Some (well, probably few) may know HERE Technologies from its maps on Windows Phones. We all know how that turned out, though. Today, HERE has expanded into a multi-function suite that is available in multiple mediums, including many automotive applications. HERE Automotive's connected vehicle services include real-time traffic, parking, weather, fuel prices, hazard warnings, traffic sign integration, and even EV charging stations. These all incorporate and extend the use of HERE's location and tracking programming. HERE is already partnered with BMW, Audi, Daimler, Intel, Mobileye, NVIDIA, and has investments from Bosch, Continental and Pioneer.
