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. The MkI was produced between 1959 and 1967 at the Longbridge Plant near BMC's headquarters, with production in Australia continuing until 1970.
A rare survivor with no modern upgrades and wearing it's original registration number, with a believed genuine c. 83, 000 miles on the odometer, FOX 959D is understood to have covered no more than 500 miles since 1992.
