The Appeal

The Morris Mini 1000 De Luxe is one of the most endearing iterations of the iconic Mini, pairing the simplicity and charm of Issigonis's original design with a touch of added refinement. With its willing 998cc engine and slick four-speed manual gearbox, it delivers the kind of engaging, characterful driving experience that few modern cars can replicate.

This 1974 example was reportedly restored a few years ago. The exterior is described as being in very good condition, while the interior seats and wood trim are said to be in similarly good order. The vendor notes it has been homologated for increased track width and features additional Hella front spotlights, lending it a purposeful stance. Whether pressed into weekday service or reserved for weekend enjoyment, this Mini looks a charming prospect.
