This remarkable Mini 1000 is warranted to have covered just 5,500 miles from new. First prize in a competition held by St Cuthbert’s Co-op and Colgate toothpaste to celebrate HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, the diminutive saloon’s paintwork is reputedly a non-standard hue that was specially applied to commemorate the occasion. Won by an Edinburgh school teacher, Margaret Irvine, her lack of a driving licence saw ‘SJW 842S’ remain garaged for the first three years of its life. Driven sparingly, the four-seater had covered a mere 2,000 miles or so by the time it was bought by one of Miss Irvine’s neighbours during 2008. Another lady, the latter sold the Mini 1000 to her brother who then passed it to his son. Finally leaving the Everett family’s custody in 2021 when it relocated to Suffolk, the Silver saloon remains notably original. The contrasting Dark Blue vinyl upholstery is as well preserved as one might expect and the supplying dealer’s rear window sticker and tax disc holder are still in situ. The factory-fitted tyres were swapped for fresh rubber some years ago but have been kept for posterity. Surely unique given its backstory, this delightful Mini is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, Competition Winner’s Telegram, numerous old MOTs and other paperwork.
