Only serious offers will be considered. This car wasn’t simply purchased — it was rescued.
In the early 2000s, it was acquired in a severely deteriorated condition, practically abandoned. But for its owner, that wasn’t a problem — it was a challenge. The person who restored it is a true enthusiast of classic cars, with years of experience and an artisan’s dedication. From the very beginning, this Mini became a personal project, restored by hand with patience, knowledge, and great care.
What you see here is not a rushed rebuild or a superficial makeover. It’s a classic that has been restored with deep respect for its history, but upgraded with subtle improvements to make it more comfortable and safer to enjoy today. It keeps its original character, while offering a modern and pleasant driving experience.
It doesn't need exaggeration to stand out. This is a car that radiates authenticity — from the sound of the engine to the feel of the steering wheel. Those who know classics will recognize it immediately.
This Mini 1000 is not just a visual gem — it’s a car brought back to life with purpose. Perfect for someone looking for an authentic, no-hassle classic that’s ready to be enjoyed.
A rare find.
