The original Mini was a revolution on wheels, offering iconic style and space for the masses. The fuel crisis beating 'people's car' that became a fashion icon, synonymous with Britain and the 'swinging '60s'. The mechanical genius of the design placed the ubiquitous A-Series engine transversely across the frame with the gearbox effectively within its sump. A rubber cone suspension replaced springs, accentuating the go-kart-like handling and allowing for 80 percent of the floorpan to be used by passengers and their luggage.
Purchased by the previous owner in 2021, ‘J614 PEW’ was provided with an extensive restoration, that included customisation, over the ensuing two years. The restoration included new stove enamelled subframes painted in two-pack Black; a full bodywork restoration and repaint; Spax adjustable shocks; stainless steel grille; new bumpers; centre branch manifold with two-inch exhaust; all bolts replaced with stainless; new brake discs, callipers and brake lines; new tyres; uprated sound system with Bluetooth connectivity; engine and gearbox refreshes and full leather interior trimming. At the time, described by the previous owner as a ‘nut and bolt’ restoration, there was a significant focus upon quality of work and attention to detail. Since its purchase from H&H in 2024, the vendor has improved and remedied the electrical system substantially, following previous starting issues. A new alternator has been fitted and the wiring on the spot lamps has been changed, as they were overheating. Subsequently fitted with a new belt and a repaired oil pressure switch, the Mini now runs much smoother since our vendor has had this work carried out and will come to the sale with a fresh 12 month MOT certificate.
