Two of the tyres were new just before it was taken off the road and the other two have loads of tread.

I have all receipts for the above

It does still need a bit of cosmetic TLC around a few rust bulges in the paintwork (see pictures) but what mini of this age doesn't and a couple of cracks have appeared in the veneer on the dash but it is a smashing little car and it is the most fun to drive car I have ever known.

The car can be viewed by appointment near St. Briavels. Forest of Dean. Gloucestershire.

I have put a sensible reserve on the car but it is still less than most sellers are asking for on Ebay. please do not call asking what the minimum I will take for the car is. I strongly advise viewing and bidding what you are prepared to pay. All bidders with less than 10 positive feedback please

Happy Bidding!
