You are looking at a 2010 Mini Cooper Hardtop with the remainder of a Mini Maintenance Program Upgrade Agreement good for 72 months (April 2016) or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, and transferrable to the new owner, a copy included with the sale. It has been a fun ride, never abused, always enjoyed, always garaged. It has a John Cooper Works tuning kit installed at the factory, including a free flow intake and exhaust, with reprogramming giving a total horsepower of 190, up from stock of 172. There are no dents or scratches. All scheduled maintenance has been done at Crown Mini of Richmond under the maintenance agreement, and all records come with the vehicle, including the original shipping updates showing when it left the factory in Southampton, England and the shipping vessel progress to the States. Last month the front brake pads and rotors were replaced and oil changed, all under warranty. The battery was replaced in February. The Carfax is clean. This Mini has all options, including: leather lounge carbon black seats with white piping (rare), Convenience Package (garage-door opener, keyless entry, auto-dimming rear view mirror, intermittent wipers with rain sensor, auto headlights, and bluetooth with a USB port), Cold Weather Package (power folding, heated mirrors, headlight washer jets, and heated seats), Premium Package (dual pane panoramic sunroof, auto climate control, and Harmon/Kardon premium sound with 10 speakers- sounds great!), Sport Package (17"alloy spoke wheels, xenon headlights, dynamic traction control, and white turn signals), chrome line interior, bonnet stripes, and center armrest. Added later were a fumed amboyna burl wooden shift knob (original saved), carbon fiber interior door handles, mud flaps, NM hi-flow intake and discharge turbo pipes, and an NM front shock tower stabilizer. A SiriusXM radio mount is installed and will accomodate an XpressRCi radio. The original tires were replaced with Continental Extreme Contact non run-flat tires 14,000 miles ago and have been rotated to maximize tread life. Paint seal renewal has been applied twice since purchase. In short, I am pleased to offer this car to a qualified buyer who will take care of it as I have, and you have the confidence of worry-free ownership under the remainder of the maintenance agreement.

A deposit of $1000.00 must be made to Paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. Out-of-state payment balance must be wired to my bank within 72 business hours at which time a clean title will be sent or produced to the buyer. In-state payment may be in the form of cash or a cashiers check which must clear before title release. All taxes, licensing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer in the state of residence. I will work with you to help with delivery. Of course, you are protected by the Ebay Buyer Protection Plan.

Watch Jay Leno bounce around with Dakar winner Roma in his Mini All4Racing

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

With Jay Leno off the Tonight Show, he has all the time in the world to focus on his passion for cars and can even travel a little. Leno teamed up with two-time Dakar Rally winner Nani Roma to jump and slide a Mini Countryman All4 racing truck around the dunes in Death Valley, CA.
The Mini-branded trucks are highly modified for off-road duty. They have won the Dakar Rally consecutively in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and even took a 1-2-3 finish in the most recent running. The specialized Minis are propelled over the dunes by a BMW-sourced, diesel engine with a six-speed sequential gearbox and heavy-duty all-wheel drive system with a locking center differential.
It is amusing to see the big smile on Leno's face, and Roma appears a little worried while Jay is driving. If this is what to expect from the post-Tonight Show Jay Leno's Garage videos, then things are only getting better from an already fantastic series. Scroll down to watch Leno and Roma take a Mini through the dunes.

Supply chain issues force stick-shift out of Mini lineup

Mon, May 2 2022

Mini has temporarily stopped building cars equipped with a manual transmission due to supply chain-related issues. The company decided to prioritize production of automatic vehicles, which outsell stick-shifted models by a wide margin, and the move might be permanent. "Current circumstances, including the war in Ukraine and semiconductor shortages, are causing supply chain restrictions across the global automotive industry. In order to secure maximum production output to meet increasing customer demand, our product offer needs to be simplified," a representative for the BMW-owned firm told British magazine Autocar. Mini added this is the best way to avoid delivery delays. Affected models include the two- and four-door variants of the Hardtop, the Convertible and the front-wheel-drive Cooper S Clubman. This isn't the first time that Mini goes automatic-only; it temporarily stopped importing stick-shifted cars in early 2019 due to calibration-related issues. While the manual quickly made a comeback, whether Mini will resume building cars with three pedals this time around is unclear. Similarly, what effects this decision will have on the American market (beyond the obvious lack of a manual transmission option) remains up in the air. There may be pricing implications. Adding a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to the 2022 Hardtop Cooper two-door cost $1,500, while the Cooper S model's automatic was priced at $1,750, so it's not unreasonable to assume that pricing will go up. Autoblog has contacted Mini to learn more about this decision, and we'll update this story if we hear back. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Mini could go even bigger with next Countryman

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

We recently reported that the new family of Minis could balloon from eight models to ten or more, but it's not only the model line that's expected to grow: so too could the largest model itself. That, of course, would be the Countryman, which is already bigger than anything else ever to wear the Mini badge. But if you think the current Countryman is already big enough, the latest reports suggest that it could get even bigger. Apparently parent company BMW feels a larger Mini crossover would better compete with more mainstream models in the marketplace.
The Countryman, however, will only be one of the new variants to spin off of the new third-generation Mini. Expect the new Hardtop hatchback introduced in LA to be followed by a new Cabriolet, Roadster, and Paceman. A five-door version of the base hatchback will also join in addition to the new Clubman, which is tipped to get a split tailgate instead of the single hinged aperture on the current model. The jury's still out on the Mini Coupe, which has largely failed to impress, while a convertible crossover could be back in the mix along with the rumored plug-in hybrid version.
