This is an amazing driver and looker.  Right hand drive.  Accomodates tall frames. Frame, body coco blasted, heavy duty primed, UV and heat protected Marine finishes.  Engine 1300cc rebuild w/new BMW Mini Cooper Supercharger,  the following items are new:  radiator, all hoses, lines, rubber, seals, windscreen, gauges, front disc brakes, rear drums, racing clutch, seats, sound and heat insulation, tailgate, carpet, headliner, lamps and housings, wiring. The truck bed is teak installed by a boat builder. 
With the exception of the wiper motor (it works) this is essentially a new car.  Runs superbly, does not smoke, always starts, fast, flat and exilerating to drive.  Selling reluctantly to keep happy wife happy in addition to reducing collections.  Apologies for poor pictures, the truck is actually much nicer than depicted. This car was an attention getter at 2013 New Hope Pa Auto Show.  Most having never seen a Mini Pickup.  

Some additional info:  Mini Cooper S supercharger, racing standard 'turbo' oil pump, gearbox rebuilt, new racing spec X pin differential, racing spec clutch, new hydralics for brakes, all new copper lines, new master cylinder, new Heritage gas tank with all new gas lines.  The truck was built in Englind in 1963 and immediately shipped to Cyprus (very little rain and a great climate for metal survival) ie zero rust.  She was returned to England in 2007 and totally restored.. not just a cosmetic make over.  The body was taken down to bare metal by coconut shell blasting and sprayed with zinc oxide primer.  All paints and top coats are marine grade dupont with UV protection agent for extreme heat and environmental conditions.  2.3 gallons of top coat inside cab, engine bay, bed, everywhere.  The sub frame was blasted and powder coated to marine grade gloss black.  All rubber everywhere is new, all suspension joints and shocks are new.  The front brakes completely new upgrades to 4 pot calipers with fully vented discs and racing pads, rear brakes are new and upgraded mini fin aluminum drums.  Breaks my heart to part with her.

Mini pokes fun at Anthony Weiner using fake Twitter account

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

Mini, never one to pass on a marketing opportunity, has pounced on the plight of embattled New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, who seems to have an issue with sending pictures of his genitals to young women. Observers will notice that this is the second time the unfortunately named Mr. Weiner has been in the spotlight for his picture messages.
Capitalizing on Weiner's alias, Carlos Danger, Mini has created an account on Twitter - @CarlosDMotor. With a note on the profile page listing "Danger" as the account's middle name, it's sent out just one tweet, containing the message, "Wanna get your hands on my stick?" Attached to the Tweet is a scantily clad Mini Cooper S, with a towel around its "waist" snapping a picture. Too soon? To borrow the brilliant pun from AdWeek, the "auto erotica" was the idea of Mini's marketing agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners. Click below for the full tweet.

2015 Mini Cooper snapped uncovered on the road

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

The third generation of reborn Mini is nearly upon us. Just look at the trail of breadcrumbs the Anglo-Saxon automaker has been leaving us.
First we saw the upcoming new Mini Cooper, spied from above at a photo shoot, which Mini was quick to point out was not its best angle. Then BMW's retro-hatch division showcased the Mini Vision concept, and followed up just yesterday with details of the new engines and chassis that will underpin the latest model. And now we have the clearest batch of spy shots we've seen yet.
Not only were these shots taken from a better angle, but also show the new Mini in the more tempting Cooper S trim - complete with hood scoop, split-spoke alloys, roof spoiler and twin central exhaust tips.

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.
