The MkI Mini was the first iteration of BMC’s ubiquitous Mini model. Characterised by sliding windows, external door hinges and "moustache" grille, a revolution at the time was it's transverse engine and front wheel drive, allowing for a spacious cabin in a small shell.

In current ownership since 2011, it has been MOT'd and serviced every year since.
