HI AND WELCOME TO THE AUCTION OF MY AUSTIN MINI COUNTRYMAN. THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLY MK 1 s WITH A FLAT ROOF. FLOOR START BUTTON AND MAGIC WAND GEARSTICK. I TOOK THIS ON AS A RESTORATION PROJECT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AFTER IT HAD BEEN LAID UP FOR AROUND THIRTY YEARS IN THE SALISBURY AREA. IT CAME WITH TWO NEW SUBFRAMES AND THE FRONT AND BACK ENDS OF THE BODY WERE SURPRISINGLY GOOD BUT THE MAIN FLOOR WAS A DISTANT MEMORY. IT NOW HAS A NEW FLOOR COMPLETE WITH TUNNEL AND CROSSMEMBER. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR NEW PARTS AMOUNTING TO AROUND SIX THOUSAND POUNDS. SOME OF THEM ARE LISTED BELOW. IT PASSED ITS MOT IN MARCH SINCE WHEN I'VE DRIVEN IT A FEW HUNDRED MILES. THE ENGINE. CLUTCH AND GEARBOX ALL WORK WELL. THE LITTLE 850 ENGINE IS VERY WILLING AND RESPONSIVE BUT ON A LONG JOURNEY I WOULD TAKE A ROADS RATHER THAN THRASH IT ON A MOTORWAY.

ITS LOOKING VERY SMART IN ITS TARTAN RED RESPRAY BUT I'M NO PRO PAINTER SO DONT EXPECT PERFECTION. THE WOOD (ALL NEW) WAS TREATED WITH CUPRINOL FOLLOWED BY SIX COATS OF VARNISH. I USE RONSEALS CLEAR OUTDOOR GLOSS. THIS WILL NEED MAINTAINING ONCE A YEAR PREFERABLY IN THE AUTUMN. A LIGHT RUB DOWN THEN ONE COAT OF VARNISH WILL DO IT.

THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING ANY TIME UP TO END OF THE AUCTION. PLEASE PHONE 01380 859340 TO ARRANGE. LOCATION IS BROMHAM. SN 15 2 JB NEAR DEVIZES.
