The Mini 1000, produced during the later years of classic Mini development, offered a balance of simplicity and usability, and remains a popular entry point into classic car ownership
Registered in 1978, indicating just under 30, 000 miles and just two previous keepers
Following a period of storage in a barn from 1994, the car was purchased last year and subsequently fully restored, with care taken to preserve the originality of the interior
Finished in Flamenco Red with a grey cloth ‘stripey’ interior, black vinyl door cards and dash
Powered by its original 998cc A-Series engine, it delivers the light and engaging driving characteristics for which the Mini 1000 is well known
Supplied with its original handbook, British Heritage Certificate, two keys and invoices
Combining low mileage, limited ownership and recent restoration, this Mini 1000 offers an appealing opportunity for an enthusiast seeking a usable and characterful British classic
