1986 Classic Mini Here is one of five classic mini's that I imported about two years ago from the UK. Two have been sold and this is the last one. I'm keeping the other two. The only reason that I picked these particular Mini's to sell is because one that I'm keeping is a bare shell now and the other is an automatic trans with A/C. This particular mini has a 1275cc engine out of an early 1990's Mini with the SPI engine. This is not a fuel injected Mini. She, Teresa, has been fitted with a 1 3/4 HIF44 SU Carb. I live outside of Seattle, about 85 miles NW and have driven her to Portland twice. Runs great. The fastest I had her up to was 85MPH. She wanted to go faster but the State Patrol in this state doesn't have much of a sense of humor so I had to back down to 75. The fiberglass kit that surrounds her I believe is what is referred to as a Zemec kit in England. It is such a clean job that you would think she came from the factory this way. She does have one small crack in the fiberglass which I have tried to show in the photos. As the pictures show, she does not have her original seats but they are adjustable and she doesn't have a rear seat. Rear seats are sold new from 7ent.com, a big classic mini parts supplier in California. A couple of items do not work. The speedometer cable is broken. I know that for a fact because I can pull it out. I use my GPS as a speedometer. The tach isn't accurate I was told that it is inaccurate because of the engine swap. The engine was designed as a fuel injected and now she isn't. And the clock doesn't work. She came without a radio and she still doesn't have one. She has a roof antenna with the cable running to the radio cutout. The UK title shows her color as silver, but I'm guessing that she has been repainted as the paint job looks really good. The headliner has also probably been redone. Looks great in its jet black, felt like finish. No cuts or tears. The interior is flawless. The carpet and seats are also in really great shape. Teresa has had a number of upgrades since I got her. Two items are the Pertronix Ignitor II distributor replaced the stock distributor and she was fitted with a Flame Thrower HV High Voltage Coil. Their are numerous other upgrades and are shown on copies of the invoices from Jet Motors. Jet Motors deal exclusively with Classic Mini's. The only two items that I can think of where I don't have copies of the invoice is the clutch master cylinder rubber hose was replaced with a braided stainless steel one and the HIF44 Carb was completely rebuilt by SUcarb.com Actual mileage listed may be higher because I do drive her. Listing may end early because she is listed locally. $100.00 Paypal non refundable deposit due within 24 hours. Balance must be paid for by wire transfer or certified check within 72 hours. I will consider a REASONABLE offer. Just email if you are a serious buyer. Clear WA State title in my name. If your in the area, your more than welcome to take her for a drive. The Buy it Now price is less than what the car cost me, Cost involved were the cost of Teresa, having the car picked up from the purchase location and delivered to the Southampton docks, the cost of the boat, all the custom fees, the broker to handle the mountain of paperwork, Tacoma dock fees, the cost to have her transported from Tacoma to Port Angeles, and finally all the cost to have her registered here in WA state. Thank you for looking. |

New Mini Cooper only just now being delivered due to EPA certification
Mon, 06 Oct 2014The Mini brand and its products have typically been a runaway success for BMW, but sales of the retro hatchback dropped a drastic 20.5 percent last month, and have been doing such pretty much all year.
The reason, according to Jalopnik, is that the new model has been held up due to EPA certification. Mini told our compatriots, "Sales have dropped because our supply has been so limited. MY 2015 Mini Hardtops have also not been able to go on sale pending the final results of federal fuel economy certification."
Mini goes on to clarify that "as of October 1st, three out of the four 2015 Mini Hardtop 2 door models, the Cooper with manual transmission, the Cooper with automatic transmission, and the Cooper S with manual transmission, have been released for retail sales and deliveries."
Mini could go even bigger with next Countryman
Mon, 25 Nov 2013We 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.
Mini prices new Cooper Hardtop from $19,950* as configurator comes online
Thu, 30 Jan 2014As surprised as the face of the new 2014 Mini Cooper makes the model look, customers shopping for the third-gen hatchback won't be surprised at all come spring. When the Hardtop goes on sale, it will not only offer a similar design to the outgoing model, it will also have a familiar price with a starting MSRP of $19,950 (*plus $795 for destination).
That price is for the base, third-generation model with the company's new 134-horsepower, 1.5-liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine, and that MSRP amounts to a $250 increase over the 2013 Cooper. Looking for a little more power? The 189-hp Cooper S will go on sale at the same time, starting at $23,600 - just $300 more than last year's model.
Mini's press release discussing 2014 Cooper pricing is posted below, but for more detailed information on the options and packages, head on over to the live configurator.
