1971 Mini Cooper "S" MARK III
Offered for sale is a well prepared, great running Mini. I have owned the car for over 7 years and have enjoyed owning it every minute. After purchasing it I basically went through the entire car and rebuilt or replaced everything. I had a well known West Coast Mini engine builder go through the engine. He went through it all (complete list of details available on request) over $4000 invested in machine work and labor, not including parts, etc. Car runs amazing. Engine (1360cc) was dyno'd and peaked at 82.2hp at 6200RPM at the wheels. Tq. measured at 78.8 at 4800 RPM. (Dyno available as well) The car has all your standard "S" features: front disc brakes, twin tanks and the 140mph speedo. Paint is driver quality and presents well as I had nothing but driving on my mind while it was being built. (There are areas of rust on the floor and rear trunk like many Mini's, minor repairs were done to prevent further issues) No trailer queens for me!! The interior is completely restored. I had larger seats installed and had everything recovered. Seats are a combination of textured and perforated vinyl. New carpet and a really nice Suede headliner. The list of parts is too long (complete invoice is available for review) but in a nut shell; everything is new. Car is running a coil spring suspension along with front and rear sway bars. I was pleasantly surprised with the ride quality and the amazing performance. Car is on 10" Mini Lites and Yokohama's. A great city car with tons of grunt!! A street legal slot car or go kart!!! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me via ebay.

2013 Mini Cooper S Paceman All4
Thu, 14 Feb 2013In just over a decade, Mini has expanded its modern range from the singular Hardtop model (launched in 2002) to a full range of little runabouts. The latest of these is the Paceman, and while European Editor Matt Davis gave us the full scoop on this model late last year, we recently spent time with the all-wheel-drive model just outside of Ponce, Puerto Rico.
It's weird, this Paceman. It slots in between the Hardtop and the Countryman (on which its based) in terms of size and functionality, and Mini says that it will appeal to a more style-conscious shopper. Key competitors range anywhere from the Nissan Juke on the low end to the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque on the high end.
After spending lots of time with the Countryman, we're convinced that maxi can still be Mini. And the same is true with this Paceman, too.
Judge to approve settlement of Mini CVT lawsuits
Sun, 25 Aug 2013BMW has agreed to settle a number of class-action lawsuits out of court. The suits stem from drivetrain issues on the 2001 to 2006 R50 Mini Cooper - in particular, its continuously variable transmission. The transmission was known to fail, often without warning on otherwise healthy and well-maintained vehicles. This wasn't the only major issue to afflict the original BMW-era Mini models.
According to legal site Topclassactions.com, the suits alleged that BMW knowingly hid the defects in the CVT from customers while informing dealers of the issue. The first suit was filed in 2011, while four additional suits have followed. Now, BMW has reportedly settled, offering to reimburse 1,200 owners that needed repairs within eight years or 150,000 miles of their purchase. Repair prices for the transmission range from $6,000 to $9,000.
Under the agreement, BMW will also offer up to $4,100 to members of the suit that had fixes performed at a third-party shop, while owners who sold their cars at a loss due to the issues are slated to receive up to $2,000. Finally, owners who are part of the suit will be warrantied for a further eight years and 150,000 miles.
Mini John Cooper Works Paceman is a potent little hot hatch in a fat suit
Mon, 14 Jan 2013If there's one thing we're never going to complain about, it's that Mini has found it necessary to put the John Cooper Works treatment on every single one of its models. We love the JCW package across the board, and the final installment of the high-performance chapter (for now, anyway) comes in the form of the John Cooper Works Paceman, debuting here at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show.
The John Cooper Works formula hasn't been altered in any way here, and like the JCW Countryman on which the Paceman is based, it comes standard with Mini's All4 all-wheel-drive system. We're sure it'll be a total hoot, and with 218 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque on tap, how could it not?
Look for the Mini JCW Paceman to hit dealerships in March of this year. Need to know more? Scroll down.
