WELCOME TO MY AUCTION FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL LITTLE MINI - I REALLY DO FEEL IT IS MUSEUM STANDARDS AND YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO COME ACROSS ANOTHER LIKE THIS!
THE CAR WAS SUPPLIED NEW IN BRISTOL AND HAS HAD JUST TWO OWNERS - THE PREVIOUS BEING A LADY AND BEFORE THAT IT WAS REGISTERED TO 'THE SISTERS OF ST ANGELAS CONVENT. CLIFTON DOWNS. BRISTOL'. IT HAS NEVER LEFT BRISTOL AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.
I THINK THE SISTERS MAY HAVE BLESSED THE CAR. BECAUSE THE CONDITION OF IT IS INCREDIBLE! I WELCOME ANY INSPECTION - EVEN FROM ENTHUSIASTS AND NOELS (KNOW ALLS - HA! MERRY CHRISTMAS!)
I AM YET TO FIND A SCAB OF RUST. A MM OF FADED PAINT. OR A PANEL THAT DOESN'T LINE UP! AND ITS AS GOOD UNDERNEATH AS IT IS ON TOP WITH GREAT CILLS. FLOOR PLANS AND SUB FRAMES. EVEN THE BATTERY BOX IS SOLID!
DOOR SHUTS AND INSIDE THE BOOT IS IMMACULATE.
I COULD HARP ON ALL DAY BUT YOU GET THE POINT! AND BEST OF ALL. I'M TOLD THE CAR HASN'T BEEN RESTORED - ITS ORGINAL!! AND AS GOOD AS THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY FLOOR!
MECHIANICALLY THE CAR IS GREAT - ALWAYS STARTS FIRST TIME - ALBEIT WITH A BIT OF CHOKE WHEN COLD. IT DRIVES AND STOPS PERFECTLY. THE CLUTCH IS GREAT AND ALL GEAR CHANGES ARE SMOOTH AND EASY.
GENUINE 32 K MILES!
IT IS A 27 YEAR OLD CAR AND AS SUCH THERE ARE ONE OR TWO BAD POINTS:
HORN DOESN'T WORK
TEMP GUAGE DOESN'T WORK - ALL OTHER GUAGES DO (ALL 2 OF THEM!)
NOT MUCH FUEL IN IT
ITS TAKING UP ROOM IN MY GARAGE
ITS CHRISTMAS AND I NEED SOME MONEY.
SO NO MAJOR BAD POINTS AT ALL :) TYRES ARE GREAT. TAXED UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH. MOT UNTIL JULY 2014.
A SOLID INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY THAT COULD DO WITH BEING LOCKED AWAY IN A HEATED GARAGE FOR ANOTHER DECADE.
Disclaimer - all of the above is my opinion only. I welcome any inspection and I'm very confident. I require cash or bank transfer within a week of deal being made. However. with the time of year. I am happy for the car to be left in the locked garage at home until the new year. As long as you've taken it by February. Please feel free to ask any questions. Serious bidders only please.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR OFFERS. AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
I apologise for the delay in adding photos. I finally get a few hours at home in day light and its pee'ing down with rain. I will endevour to add better photos ASAP. Please note that the photos do not do the car any justice. But hopefully will give you an idea.
