1972 1330cc Austin Mini - Full nut & bolt restoration, in primrose yellow for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.1) based on 455 votes
We have decided the time has come to sell our beloved 1972 1330cc Austin Mini in gorgeous primrose yellow.
The mini underwent a full nut and bolt restoration in 2001 by my father in law (SW Classics as it was then) and has since been garaged when not in use with a cover and heater under the engine in winter.  Since the complete full nuts and bolt rebuild. it has only done 7300 miles.  As it has lots of sentimental value. this mini has been loved and although it is 14 years on. it is still in pristine condition.  Now rarely used and never in bad weather. this mini has been washed and polished after each drive before being put back in the garage. ready for its next outing.  Members of our local mini club. we now cannot spare the time to enjoy the mini and would rather it go to an enthusiast who will look after and enjoy the car as it should be used.
We have participated in the champagne tour in France.  with no issues with the car at all.  have won 1st prize and best mini (chosen by mini owners) in car shows and was the main feature of Mini Magazine in July 2002.   
We have all receipts for the rebuild. and has mot until March 2015.  The tax is free due to age of the vehicle.
