The original Mini is considered a British icon of the 1960s with
its space-saving. front-wheel drive layout. allowing 80% of the
car's floorpan to be used for passengers and luggage and was voted
the second most influential car of the 20th century. behind the
Ford Model T. The Mini Mk I had three major UK updates; the Mk. II. br/>the Clubman and the Mk. III. Within these were a series of
variations including an estate car. a pick-up and a van. Initially. br/>Minis were marketed under the Austin and Morris names as the Austin
Seven and Morris Mini Minor until Mini became a marque in its own
right in 1969.

This remarkably well kept Mini 1000 automatic has been cared for
throughout its life. covering a mere 21. 00 miles from new. The
original owner. a Mrs. B. Elliot. purchased the car in June 1979
for £3. 39. 59 from Kennings Motor Distributors of Derby. The car
had been undersealed and Cadillac protected by the factory before
being finished in works colours. Russet Brown. which has helped to
keep it in such condition to this day. The interior trim and
headlining are in fabulous order and the paintwork is certainly a
credit to the car. as is the chrome detailing. However. she isn't
just about good looks; indeed on a drive to and from Brooklands on
Mini day in March. this car didn't miss a beat. Accompanying
this vehicle is an impressive history file. including many old MoT
Certificates (some warranting mileage) as well as a wealth of
servicing and repair bills and even the original bill of sale and
receipts. Original handbook and owner's workshop manual can also be
found along with a current MoT test certificate valid until January
2016. Having been garaged and looked after by its three lady
owners. this mini is a true collector's example with a supporting
history to cement its place as a true classic. With a keen
estimate. why not raise your hand for a real slice of British
motoring history…
