The Austin Morris Mini was made by the British Motor Corporation
(BMC) and its successors from 1959 until 2000. The original is
considered a British icon of the 1960's. and its space-saving front
wheel drive layout influenced a generation of car-makers. In 1999. br/>the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th
Century. behind the Ford Model T and one of the first examples from
1959 is now on display at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire.
The very first example. with the now iconic registration plate '621
AOK'. is on display at the Heritage Motor Centre in Warwickshire.
The Mk. III Mini built from 1969 had a modified bodyshell. the most
obvious changes were larger doors with concealed hinges. Customer
demand led to the sliding windows being replaced with winding
windows. the suspension reverted from Hydrolastic to rubber cones
as a cost-saving measure. Production at the Cowley plant was ended. br/>and the simple name Mini completely replaced the separate Austin
and Morris brands. Although the Metro never actually replaced the
Mini. production figures for the Mini dipped during the 1980s. and
interest in the now-iconic design was not revived until the
re-introduction of the famous Mini Cooper in 1989. This helped the
car retain its desirability and driver appeal throughout the
1990's. right up to the end of production on the 4th October 2000.
A total of 1. 81. 87 Minis were sold in Britain after its launch in
1959. The last new Mini to be registered was sold in 2004. some
four years after the end of production.

This Mini is owned by a very knowledgeable enthusiast and we are
advised she drives with no known faults. Finished in powder blue
with a matching interior and wooden dash. this car also has flared
wheel arches and wider tyres making it great fun to drive. Supplied
with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid
until 12th February 2016. Offered at no reserve this
Mini could well be a bargain.
