2005-2008 (Mk I Convertible)] was designed by Frank Stephenson, drawing inspiration from the original Mini, which was manufactured by the British Motor Corporation and its successors from 1959 to 2000. I was quite surprised to find our how many Mini Copper Engines for sale GotEngines.com has in stock.
Mini Engines are what we want to discuss today. It seems Mini offered a wide variety of engines, ranging from three engines with 1.6 liters which are made by Tritec. Tritec is an independent engine manufacturer in Europe. Tritec is a modern engine with an SOHC 16-valve head, electronic throttle control, and meets Euro III emissions requirements. There are three versions of the engine, 1.4 L, 1.6 L, and supercharged 1.6 L.
The second generation Mini [2007-present (Mk II Hardtop), 2007-present (Mk II Clubman),
2009-present (Mk II Convertible), 2010-present (Mk II Countryman)] dropped the Tritec engines for lack of power. The second generation Mini uses ”Prince” engines.
Prince engines replaced the Tritec engine family in the Mini. Prince engines are made by a French company who makes engines for cars and motorcycles marketed by Peugeot and Citroen.
Before I forget, the Mini is a front wheel drive car, what that means is the engine is mounted up front in a transverse manner. Meaning it runs east to west in the front of the car. As opposed to north to south for a rear wheel drive car.
The Copper is a smash hit. No doubt about it. People who own Coopers choose them for a particular reason. Cute, economical and affordable. Although it is not the most practical car, it is very pretty and stylish and provides excellent fuel economy.
With that being said, Mini owners are very loyal to their cars. I understand that, I own a vintage Porsche and there are no compromises with that car. Nothing but the best replacement parts and service will do for Mini owners.
