The Plus
The original Mini was a genuine country-road-approved go-kart, a spacious four-seater that was as practical as it was entertaining for city driving as it was for fun. Original, unmodified models are rare, but here we have one.
Acquired by the vendor in 1997, it has always been parked dry and used sparingly. The result is a car in very close to original condition and well maintained, looking great, mounted on Minilite style wheels with an upgraded wood trimmed interior.
A recent mechanical service in February 2024 and a MOT valid until July 2028 offer further peace of mind to the buyer. This is a classic Mini that is absolutely ready to go, and one that will prove fun for its future owner.
