Description

Full MOT without advisory expiring in end of January 2026. No rust and no water leak to cabin. Rare automatic transmission makes it so easy to drive around town.

Selling because I will need space for another classic soon, unfornately the Mini has to go. £5000 ONO. Sold as seen.

Last service:
Brake fluid changed in March 2025
Oil and filter changed in August 2025.

Issues that needs to pay attention:
Small oil seepage underneath, though this seems to be common on classic mini.
Driver side door lock is difficult to lock.
Tachometer doesn't work. It's seems the wire in the engine bay was cut when the last owner dropped the new ignition system in. I haven't got time to look at this yet and this never bothered me as a Mini.
Fuel tank gauge and temperature gauge only display up to a quarter of the full range. It's likely to be a faulty voltage stabiliser in the instrument cluster. However, speedometer works fine.
