The item up for your consideration today is a 1963 Austin Mini. This car was imported to the U.S. from New Zealand in early 2001. I purchased the car from the import agent on Ebay shortly thereafter. In the twelve years that I've owned the car, many updates and improvements have been made. They include the roof panel being painted in Old English White. The addition of and later removal of Brand New genuine Minilite (4.5X10) wheels and new Kuhmo 145-R10 tires followed, which go with the car. Several years later I decided to go back to the original look. I then had the stock 3.5 x 10 steel wheels blasted and powder coated, and shod with another set of new Kuhmo 145-R10 tires that are on the car now. I've also replaced the 850 cc engine with a highly desirable 998 cc Cooper engine with the 12G295 cylinder head and then detailed the engine compartment. About the same time, the interior was all redone in the original pattern with the exception of the headliner which is in excellent original condition. Deluxe bumpers with over riders and corner bars were added to complete the Mk I series appearance.

This is the genuine article, period correct 1963 Mk I Mini. It has all of the character traits of the day such as slide-by door windows, mustache grill, external door hinges, internal pull cords, push button starter, and small tail lights. It also has all of the New Zealand documentation and some details specific to the Minis built there. Some of these are amber colored rear turn signals and riveted body trim. The dealer added heater unit by National Radiator Co. is currently not working. There is a New Zealand number plate on the front AF6390, and last but not least, it is a right hand drive.

Over the years the car has been very dependable and a lot of fun to drive. It starts, runs, drives, and stops very well. The car has received the best of care and pampering during my ownership. It is also very clean and free of rust as can be seen in the pictures. It has won many awards at local and regional shows as well as one national show at Rockford, IL. Those trophy's however, are not included.

As mentioned before, the Minilite wheels and tires along with all the hardware, spacers, lug nuts and studs for the rear wheels are included. Also included are four repair manuals, a huge stack of Mini, Mini World and Practical Classics magazines plus two boxes of new, spare and old parts. Mini owners never throw old parts away. A high quality indoor/ outdoor custom fit car cover recently purchased from MiniMania is also included.

I live in Stevens Point, Wisconsin 54482 (central part of the state) and will assist your shipper as much as I can. I require a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of auction end to my PayPal account and the remaining balance in the form of a Cashiers Check before the car is released. The car does have a clean and clear WI title. Please email me for my phone number if you have any questions. I also have countless other photos, too many to put in this auction which can be emailed to you.

Thank you for looking at my auction.

2014 Mini Cooper goes to the dogs

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We wouldn't buy a car to make a dog happy, but Mini's latest commercial, Bullheaded, would have you believe that dogs like the new 2014 Cooper as much as humans. Regardless of the commercial's target audience (Spike The Bulldog, or his owner?), it does show a couple new tidbits about the car, such as the new center dial touchscreen, ambient lighting and the nifty tinted pop-up display on top of the dashboard that reminds us of the head-up display on the new Mazda3.
Head below to watch Spike and his owner drive the Mini in Downtown Los Angeles (and the back lots of Paramount), and to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the commercial was made.

BMW will show Mini EV concept at Frankfurt

Wed, Aug 30 2017

A month ago, BMW announced that it would electrify all its brands and model lines, including the Mini hatchback. A forthcoming full-electric Mini will enter production in 2019 at the Mini plant in Oxford, England, where the production line would join a German-built electric drivetrain with a British-built body. BMW notes that this will happen exactly 60 years after the original Mini hit the streets. View 5 Photos As the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show is upon us, BMW has introduced the concept version of the aforementioned electric Mini. The manufacturer says the color scheme chosen for the concept matches the previous electrified Mini, the experimental Mini E of 2008. That car was produced in a trial run of 600 units, and it provided BMW with valuable data as it was developing the i3 model, currently on the market. The Mini Electric Concept is powered by a lithium-ion battery, but no numerical specifications or range figures have been announced. It will be interesting to see whether the driving fun inherent to Minis can be translated, as a battery electric vehicle will undoubtedly be heavier than a fossil-fuel hatchback. The closed front grille stands as testament for doing without pistons or a need for engine cooling.

Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
