Body & Exterior
Visually, the car makes a well-maintained impression. It has likely been repainted at some point, which is quite common for Mini models of this age. Particularly noteworthy:
• Solid basic structure
• Three minor rust spots, which are purely cosmetic
• Doors, hoods, and hatches close properly
• No signs of major rust damage
The rust spots can be repaired at some point for purists, but they pose absolutely no problem for everyday or seasonal use.
⸻
Interior
The interior is in truly beautiful condition for its age:
• Seats and trim are clean and well-preserved
• Original and unmodified dashboard
• Carpets are in good condition
• Controls are functional
• The only real flaw: the headliner – this would need to be replaced.
We are considering whether to have this done before the sale.
Overall, the interior feels very cozy and well-maintained, without any typical major signs of age.

Technical & Engine Compartment
This is where the vehicle's greatest strength lies.
• The engine starts reliably, runs smoothly, and sounds healthy.
• The clutch and transmission function flawlessly.
• The brakes work well.
• The underbody appears clean and solid.
• And the highlight: The engine compartment is exceptionally well-maintained.
• Hardly any rust to be found.
• Clean surfaces.
• No signs of neglect.
Such a well-maintained engine compartment is rare for Minis of this age and speaks to a good maintenance history.

Current & Planned Work
As long as the Mini is still available, we are continuously taking care of minor tasks:
• Minor cosmetic improvements
• Technical inspection
• Optional: Headliner replacement

Driving Experience
Anyone who has ever driven a Mini knows: There are few cars that convey so much emotion, lightness, and direct connection to the road. The little car is incredibly fun, agile, easy to handle, and almost automatically puts a smile on your face.
This Mini is not a museum piece, but an honest, well-maintained, and fully functional vehicle – perfect for driving, maintaining, and further developing.
