AUSTIN MINI 1000cc (1983)
Genuine AUSTIN MINI 1000cc (1983) – Belgian, Same owner since 2008
Superb 1983 Austin Mini 1000cc. It’s a true time capsule, staying true to its Belgian origins and carefully preserved by the same passionate owner since 2008.
Highlights:
Guaranteed authenticity: A real 1983 Mini, sound and unmodified in any way that would detract from its character. Its Belgian registration certificate confirms its origin and the owner’s long period of ownership (since 21/ 05/ 2008).
Looked-after mechanics: The 1000cc engine runs like a clock and has benefited from regular maintenance. Recently, a new brake master cylinder has been fitted for added safety.
Ready for any distance: Don’t be put off by its age—it's ready to hit the road, whether for a Sunday drive or a longer trip.
Solid bodywork: The structure is strong and in good health, an excellent base for a conservation project or a more targeted restoration.
Original glass: It still has its original tinted glass—an uncommon and sought-after detail.
Complete documentation: The original owner’s manual (“850 & 1000”) is provided.
Exterior condition:
The bodywork is in its original metallic light green shade. As you can see in the photos and from the front view, it shows genuine patina, with signs of wear and points to note (chips in the paint, slight scratches) that reflect its 40 years of history. That’s the soul of this car!
Interior condition:
The interior is original, with checked fabric seats and brown faux-leather trim that immediately puts you in the mood of the 1980s. The wood-grain dashboard and three-spoke sports steering wheel add a touch of classic elegance. Note that the dashboard shows a few signs of wear.
This Austin Mini is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine, sound, road-ready example—ready to drive as is, or to serve as a solid base for a deeper restoration. It only needs a new enthusiast to carry on its journey!
The car is available to view by appointment. For more information or to arrange a visit, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
