THIS IS AN UNFORTUNATE MOMENT FOR US, BUT MOVING TO DOWNTOWN CHICAGO AND WE WON'T NEED A SECOND CAR. WE DECIDED TO KEEP OUR X5 DIESEL

DUE TO SPACE AND OUR LITTLE CAR WILL HAVE TO GO. I WILL SAY THAT IT WILL BE JUST A MATTER OF TIME FOR US TO GET A NEW MINI AS THIS HAS BEEN
ONE OF THE BEST CARS WE OWNED. I AM A METICULOUS CAR ENTHUSIAST AND I SIMPLY REFUSE TO LEAVE THIS CAR PARKED ON THE STREET TO SOON BE ALL TRASHED BY OTHER CARS BUMPING ON IT OR LEAVING THE CAR SITTING EXPOSED TO THIS WEATHER.

WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS OF THIS BABY AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN GREAT CARE OF SINCE DAY ONE. THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS OUR FRIEND, WHICH SOLD TO US DUE TO HIS WIFE HAVING A BABY.

THE CAR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, ON TOP OF IT I JUST SPENT 900USD IN 4 NEW TIRES (CONTINENTAL DWS ALL SEASON) AS WELL AS NEW BRAKE CROSS DRILLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC PADS 1200USD. ONLY SHELL PREMIUM FUEL USED, WASHED WEEKLY, WAXED AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS.

THE WHOLE BOTTOM PART OF THE CAR IS WRAPPED ON 3M CLEAR BRA ALL AROUND, INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS, WHICH MEANS, THE CAR HAS NO SCRATCHES.

THIS IS FOR SURE ONE OF THE RARE UNITS OUT THERE, FIRST FOR BEING SO WELL TAKEN CARE OF. LOOK AT THE CAR INTERIOR AND YOU WILL SEE ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS OF WEAR, THE OUTSIDE LOOKS PERFECT, HAS ABSOLUTELY LOW MILEAGE, NO MECHANICAL ISSUES, ALL SERVICE RECORDS ARE UP TO DATE.

NOW, GETTING TO THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. YES YOU CAN FIND OTHER MINI'S OUT THERE CHEAPER. HOWEVER YOU NEED TO COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES.

A MINI COOPER S IN 2007 HAD A BASE STICKER PRICE OF 21200USD. SO TODAY YOU CAN GO OUT ON THE MARKET AND FIND THESE BASE MODELS FOR MUCH LESS THAN WHAT I AM SELLING.

NOW THIS UNIT HERE WAS CUSTOM ORDERED AND HAD A STICKER PRICE OF USD35500 - ESSENTIALLY USD14300 IN OPTIONS!!! KBB AND NADA BOOKS DO NOT REALLY CONSIDER ALL THESE OPTIONS ON THE PRICING.

THIS COLOR COMBO AND ALL OPTIONS ARE FAIRLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT THERE. PERIOD. ON TOP OF IT YOU ADD LOW MILEAGE AND A WELL TAKEN CARE CAR AND BAM, YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER.

I'M OPEN TO REVIEW OFFERS..... AS FAR AS THEY ARE REASONABLE. IF YOU ARE OUT THERE SHOPPING FOR A MINI COOPER S, MAKE SURE YOU ARE LOOKING INTO ALL OPTIONS AND NOT ONLY THE CAR MODEL ITSELF. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENT WHEN YOU ADD ALL OPTIONS THIS CAR HAS, COMPARED TO CHEAPER ONES WHICH HAVE NOTHING,

CAR HAS 2 SETS OF KEYS, ALL MANUALS, BOOKS, WINDOW STICKER, EVERYTHING.

LOOK AT THE AUTOCHECK SCORE. IT RANKS AT 97 POINTS COMPARED TO THE AVG FOR THIS YEAR MODEL. IT IS ALMOST PERFECTION!!!

British company announces turn-key EV conversion kit for classic Mini

Wed, Nov 4 2020

Swindon Powertrain unveiled a turn-key EV conversion kit that makes electrifying a Mini built between 1959 and 2000 relatively easy. It bridges the gap between the original model and the Cooper SE released earlier in 2020. Available in December 2020, the kit consists of an electric motor mounted on a modified Mini front subframe, and purpose-designed inner CV joint housings designed to work with regular-production half shafts. Swindon notes no modifications are required; installing the kit requires removing the original front subframe, probably selling the stock engine and the transmission in the local classifieds, and bolting the new subframe to the Mini's body. Rated at 107 continuous horsepower, but programmed to offer a peak output of 160 horsepower, the motor spins the front wheels via a single-speed transmission, which seemingly settles the debate over magic wand, direct, and remote gear changes. It offers more power than any four-cylinder fitted to the Mini by the factory. After tightening the subframe bolts, owners need to source additional powertrain components, like the battery pack, the motor controller, the on-board charger, and the DC-DC converter. All of these parts are available directly from Swindon Powertrains, or from a growing list of aftermarket vendors, but they're not included in the kit. Electric technology isn't cheap, and Swindon's kit is no exception. It's priced at GBP8,850 (about $11,500) before taxes and shipping enter the equation, meaning it's more expensive than rebuilding an original four-cylinder engine. Viewed in this light, electrification is better suited to some of the high-zoot custom builds (like the stunning Remastered available from David Brown Automotive) priced in the six digits than to a beater 1980s City model.

Next-generation Mini Clubman could morph into a crossover

Mon, Dec 16 2019

Mini knows selling station wagons in a market dominated by crossovers and SUVs is easier said than done. Since it can't beat them, it's considering joining them by making the next-generation Clubman more crossover-like than the current model, which proudly embodies its station wagon heritage. Oliver Heilmer, the BMW-owned firm's chief designer, broke the news to British magazine Autocar. The publication pointed out the current-generation Clubman (pictured) is about as long and as wide as the Countryman, and the two models occupy the same price bracket, but it's outsold by its taller sibling. Making it an SUV would certainly give sales a significant boost, but where would this strategy leave the Countryman? Launching a smaller soft-roader is off the table, so one nameplate would grow in size. The Clubman might take the Countryman's spot in the range, allowing it to move up. Nothing is set in stone yet, though putting the Clubman on stilts would better align it with the tastes of motorists in America, one of the brand's key markets. While Mini's sole wagon looks ready for a growth spurt, Heilmer stressed the retro-styled Hardtop — one of the brand's pillars — will remain true to its tiny roots when it enters its fourth generation in the coming years. Keeping the hatchback relatively small while carving out an acceptable amount of interior space and making it compliant with safety regulations around the globe is a huge challenge for Mini's vehicle development team. And, contrary to some industry rumors, going electric doesn't instantly solve the problem. "It's not necessarily the internal combustion engine that needs the space. Even with an EV, which has a smaller motor, you still need a crash box. Crash performance is the bigger issue," the designer explained. He's hopeful his team will solve this problem in 2020, but he warned keeping costs in check is another priority. Clearly, designing a city-friendly car is more difficult than it used to be. New technology might come to the rescue. Energy-absorbing foam could notably take the brunt of an impact, and allow designers to reduce the Hardtop's overhang. Other models would likely receive it, too, but Heilmer's team is primarily concerned about keeping the Hardtop's footprint in check. The rest of the range can — and, probably, will — continue to grow in the coming years. All told, the Hardtop will remain the foundation the rest of Mini's range is built on.

New Mini to bow on Nov. 18, on Alec Issigonis' birthday

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Miniacs, note November 18 on your calendar. That's when the all-new Mini Hardtop will debut. Now, this might not be a great deal of news, after all, we already showed you the car, codenamed F56, a few weeks ago. But this full unveiling should bring with it even more detailed exterior images, a full look at the cabin and if we're lucky, performance numbers.
History buffs will also note that November 18 is the birthday of Sir Alec Issigonis. It was Issigonis that penned the original idea for the Mini on a cocktail napkin, envisioning a car with a transversely mounted engine, the wheels pushed out to all four corners and plenty of cabin space for occupants. That car had a remarkably small footprint and was quite efficient, perfect for tackling the fuel shortages brought on by the Suez Crisis in 1959's Great Britain. An unintended side-effect of its design was that it was also an absolute hoot to drive.
The November 18 debut will take place at Mini's home, Plant Oxford, in the UK. Following that, November 20 will see a near-simultaneous debut at both the Tokyo Motor Show and Los Angeles Auto Show. We'll be on hand to bring you all the details.
