The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known and its
impact socially. culturally and mechanically is well documented.
The Swinging Sixties. The Beatles. Twiggy and the Mini are
inexorably combined to represent an era that is remembered with
great fondness by many people. The side story is the Mini's impact
on motorsport and this is no less extraordinary. Issigonis' friend
John Cooper. owner of the Cooper Car Company and designer and
builder of Formula One and rally cars. saw the potential of the
Mini for competition.

Supplied new via Appleyard of Leeds with body number 33113 and
manufactured on the 17th August 1960. this lovely Mini is presented
in Clipper Blue and has spent much of its life with an overseas
worker. from 1971 until 2014. The car had covered only 67. 00 miles
upon his purchase for just £57. 50. Used as an everyday car until
late 1973. the car was then dry stored for some 12 years due to
travel/work commitments. Upon waking from its hibernation in
1985/86 the car was completely refurbished with brand new interior
and a re-spray at a cost of over £2100. which in 1985 and on such a
small car was quite a bill. Only minor mechanical work was
undertaken during this restoration with the engine and gearbox in
fine order. however due to another series of overseas postings the
car was used sparingly and dry stored again until 1992 hence the
present mileage of fewer than 87. 00. The car to this day retains
its original features and is admired wherever it has been displayed
and coupled with a comprehensive history file. photographic
evidence of the restoration. heritage certificate. full years MoT
test certificate and countless old MoT test certificates to warrant
the mileage this is certainly a highly desirable early Mk. 1 and we
would certainly encourage any potential new owner to spare the time
to view this example and its great history file.
