Car was shipped straight to Japan, after production. Hence, absolutely NO RUST. New 12" wheels, new tires with 3000 miles, new flares painted body color. Removed old rubber harsh riding sub frame and had top of the line Hi-Los with smooth riding street spring installed. Boy did this make a difference!. Installed new grille, painted Black and chrome surrounds, installed new HD wiper arms and new blades, along with a new double window sprayer. This car gets all the attention every where I go.
There are always a crowd around it at the minute markets when I come out or before I go in. If you don't want attention and questions, don't buy this car! Everyone has their little same old cute remarks "your steering wheel is on the wrong side", "Where's the rest of this car?", "Did you have it shipped over from England?" "Where can I get on?" I always tell them, this one is kinda special, with A/C and auto trans. More expensive than your run of the mill one, but if that's not important to you, you can find cheaper ones on the internet. Yada, Yada Yada can go on as long as you will stay and talk. The women all say "it's just so cute." And it is.
A pre car buyer inspector stated that he had been looking at Minis since he was 17, He's about 50 now, and he had never seen one in this good of shape, He said "never have I seen one with absolutely no rust. Then he said, don't sell this car, keep it as long as you can.
I would, but I have to make long distance road trips to the University of Florida quite often, as I had a Deep Brain Stimulation operation about a year ago, and I have to drive about 4 1/2 hours one way and be analyzed and retuned about every 2 or 3 months. I'm 69 , and just have to have a larger more comfortable riding old man's car. I wish I could keep it and just drive it around here, but I am not that wealthy.
Anyway, if you have any questions, please call cell 912 656 8532 home 912 897 3156.
Shipping to be arranged by buyer. I will of course assist shipper loading. Or you may pick it up. Seller pays no shipping fees, no matter what the ad states. I did not put anything in for shipping.

Mini forgets to bring car to LA, shows Citysurfer concept scooter
Wed, 19 Nov 2014See that red thing? It's the Mini Citysurfer Concept. It is not, in case you were wondering, an automobile. Yet despite this apparent shortcoming, Mini has placed it on a plinth at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.
The electric scooter weighs in at 40 pounds, can hit 15 miles per hour, cover 10 to 15 miles and can be folded up and charged in the trunk of a Mini Cooper (or any other vehicle with a 12-volt outlet and a roomy enough cargo area). According to the British marque, these qualities will give the scooter's owner the "spontaneous and convenient mobility even in those sections of an urban area not accessible to motorized vehicles."
It's not terribly difficult to see the appeal, as Mini explains it. With urban congestion becoming an increasingly serious problem - and some cities beginning to ban cars outright - the idea of an easy to charge and easy to stow runabout is extremely attractive. That's doubly true in the case of the Citysurfer, which is rather well equipped, as far as scooters go.
2014 Mini John Cooper Works Countryman All4
Fri, 11 Apr 2014The standard Mini Countryman is a bit of an odd duck against the backdrop of 'normal' small crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 and the Ford Escape, but I sort of get it. Apply the same winning Mini formula to a CUV, and you get a smaller-than-average entry in the segment, one that is far more entertaining to drive than the norm, more stylish inside and out and pretty expensive when cross-shopped. That list of qualities doesn't appeal to all crossover shoppers, sure, but it intrigues a big enough list that the Countryman has reason for being.
Now, add the expensive John Cooper Works package to the Countryman's already niche goodies list, and Mini starts to lose me. So, I'm getting the softer suspended, taller, generally less dynamically joyful version of the brand's core values, but now you're charging me at least $35,000 ($13k more expensive than the basic, front-drive Cooper Countryman and $7k more than the MSRP of the Cooper S All4 version)? What's that? You're going to make it look like a garish, tippy-toed tuner car in the process? Take my money.
Or, actually, let me keep it. I can swing with a lot of the weirdness that Mini has to offer, but this car pushed me past my limit.
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
