Up for auction is a GENUINE Austin Cooper S. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. The car is a original California car with all original panels. This car has never been rusted and has all original floors panels, wings etc. I purchased the car from Bill G. (owner of Mincomp Racing is Costa Mesa, Ca). He owned this car from 1970-2009. I purchased the car in 2009 and Mincomp restored it for me. I have only put 1300 miles on this car since the restoration was completed in summer of 2013. I hate to sell it but I want to fund another project. Here are the details of the build. 1380cc A+ engine rebuilt. Bottom end was rebuilt by 7 Enterprises. The head is a Kieth Calver Super Sports head (ported, polished with high quality valves, springs etc) Mincomp camshaft, 9.75:1 compression ratio, 1.5 ratio rockers, ARP head bolts, main bearing strap, ARP rod bolts, AP clutch etc. The best part of the engine is the Specialist Components throttle body fuel injection. This setup eliminates the distributor with a crank fire ignition and coil pack. It gives you more power with exceptional reliability and driveability. (I still have the 1.5" twin Su carbs) The exhaust is a steel LCB with a stainless RC40 twin box exhuast. The gearbox is a NEW OLD STOCK Jack Knight 5 speed. It has straight cut gears and a Quaife limited slip differential. This gearbox is considered the best by most Mini experts and makes a nice difference when cruising on the highway. This gearbox cost me over $5,000.00 and you would have a heck of a time finding one new now days. The RPMs are lowered about 500 RPMs in 5th at highway speeds. Note: The original Cooper S engine is still at Mincomp Racing. It is included with the car but you will have to arrange shipping. The body was completely stripped and re painted in the orignal Almond Green. The white roof is a little brighter than the Old English White. The car was completely disassembled for painting. (all glass, every nut, engine, interior, fuel tanks, subframes etc were removed) The car was block sanded to ensure straightness and the paint quality is outstanding. There are no sctratches or chips anywhere. There was a small crank in the paint near the driver side rear roof gutter that has been touched up. I cannot show this in the photos because it is so minor. The flares are the orignal Special Tuning flares (not copies) and they are secured with stainless hardware. The interior has a coat of Lizard Skin for sound deadening. It works like Dynamat but it is more effective. Interior: All guages have been restored including a period correct Smiths accessory tachometer. Heater box has been restored in the correct textured black paint. All new carpet, recovered seats, all new interior panels. The front seats are from a 60s Datsun roadster. They sit lower and are more supportive than the original seats. The steering wheel is a Mota Lita Cooper Signature model. Suspension: Gaz adjustable shocks, coil spring conversion (converted from wet to dry suspension in the 70s), Special Tuning rear swaybay and Hi- Los. Front and rear subframes were re painted and re built. Make no mistake this is one of the best Cooper S that money can buy. The car is very quick and it handles great. I am selling this car for what I think is a fair price. Do not tell me what others are going for because you can't compare most of them to this one. I want this car to go to a good home and I am not desperate to sell it so don't make any ridiculous offers. The car is British so the gearbox leaks a little oil when it sits and the driver side tail light is inoperable. (brake and turn signal work) Mike Kearney from 7 Enterprises has driven this car so he can tell you how nice it is. I have a Heritage Trust certificate showing the car is a real Cooper S. Feel free to call me if you have any questions. 443-226-FIVE NINE FOUR ZERO On Jun-18-14 at 04:22:41 PDT, seller added the following information: Wheels are 10 x 6 GENUINE Minilites with Yokohame 008 165/70-10 tires. If you require shipping you must arrange it. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at anytime since I will be selling this car using other resources. Please keep in mind that this car has been completely restored but it is still a used car. No warranties expressed or implied. |

The 2017 Porsche 911 RSR goes mid-engine, purists be damned
Wed, Nov 16 2016Porsche unveiled its World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech Championship competitor with the 2017 911 RSR. And this 911 is different from the rest, as the 4.0-liter flat-six engine powering this beast is in front of the rear axle, not behind it. That's right, this 24 Hours of Le Mans competitor ditches the iconic rear-engine layout. Porsche isn't talking specifics on how exactly things are arranged back there. The engine is new, now based on the 991 911's block instead of the previous Mezger motor that's been used for years. The transmission design is new as well – it would have to be to accommodate the new location relative to the engine. The racecar has been engineered to meet the LM-GTE class, where it will go up against other mid-engine cars like the Ford GT and Ferrari 488 GTE. Moving the engine to the middle has given Porsche the ability to fit the 911 RSR with massive bits of aero, like the humongous rear diffuser that looks like it would be more at home on a machine of war. The only thing that can compete with the diffuser for size is the top-mounted rear wing, which shares a similar design to the one found on the 919 Hybrid. Going back to the engine, the direct-injected boxer motor, depending on the size of the restrictor, generates as much as 510 horsepower and sends all of its fury to the rear wheels. The engine is paired to a six-speed sequential gearbox, which drivers can employ through paddles on the steering wheel. The new engine doesn't have a lot of weight to push around as the 911 RSR, as required by regulations, weighs 2,740 pounds. Speaking of weight, the engine layout isn't the only change for the 911 RSR. For 2017, the car ditches its steel body for one that's made out of carbon fiber. The body attaches to the chassis via quick-release fasteners, making the vehicle easier to service as exterior elements can be removed with minimal effort. The racecar also gets a radar-based collision system – aptly named the "Collision Avoid System" – which is meant to limit the 911 RSR's encounters with faster LMP prototypes. Only time will tell if the new layout and aerodynamic components help the 911 RSR beat its competition. But there will be plenty of opportunities to see the racecar in action as Porsche plans to run the 911 RSR in 19 races during the 2017 season, the first of which will take place at the IMSA opener on January 28th at Daytona, where the racecar will make its track day debut.
Mini apologizes with chocolate rose after spamming customer's inbox
Thu, 31 Jan 2013If you're a manufacturer, there are only so many ways you can say "sorry" after your automated e-mail system goes berzerk and spams everyone on your mailing list with hundreds of the same message. Mini recently found itself in that very spot, and rather than respond with a sheepish mea culpa, the company's PR team took a different tack by sending owners a very unique gift box. How unique? Inside, one owner found a set of chocolate roses, a roll of duct tape and a genuine can of Spam.
In an accompanying note, the company said it hoped the sweets would help patch things up between the company and the victims of the e-mail barrage, but in the event that wasn't enough to do the trick, the duct tape was there to help out. And the can of Spam? That tagged along just for stress release. Apparently the canned meat is squeezable. We wouldn't know. You can check out full photos of the gift box here.
2014 Mini Cooper S Paceman [w/video]
Mon, 12 Nov 2012Not Too Odd, Not Too Maxi. Is This Mini Just Right?
We recently got our first time behind the wheel of the latest iteration of the Mini Countryman, the 215-horsepower John Cooper Works model, and were left less than enthused despite the inherent fun factor that a JCW badge brings. Our time with the crossover suggests the Countryman is just too weighty and soft to properly wear the badge.
We have also spent loads of time in various Mini Clubman trims and, despite the oddity of its configuration, this model may be our overall favorite in the current Mini lineup. But it is decidedly not a volume seller, which Mini needs.
