Launched in the summer of 1959 with an ingenious transverse-mounted powertrain (with engine above the gearbox), independent 'rubber cone' suspension, front-wheel drive and compact rack and pinion steering, the Mini was a packaging masterpiece and one of the most influential designs ever. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways, the practicalities which had dominated its design produced a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inch wheels was remarkable fun to drive.

First registered on 4^th November 1971, this Austin Mini has been in current family ownership since 1991 with just 2 former keepers recorded on the V5c. Acquired by the vendor after a family member passed away when in the process of restoring the car in 1998, it has been restored and de-seamed by the vendor's classic car restoration business. Popular as a ‘custom’ style for the Mini, the de-seaming process leaves the rain gutters alone, but blends the front and rear panels into the side quarter panels. Another upgrade has been the addition of widened sills and arches. Wearing Revolution alloy wheels within the widened wheel arches, it’s sure to stand out at any gathering. Offered with a history file and current V5c.
