The Appeal
There can be few British cars that are as iconic as the Mini. Revolutionary when it was launched and still as stylish sixty years later the Mini has become a legendary car forever associated with British culture.
This Mayfair automatic is in very good condition throughout, but it’s the number of owners and the mileage that makes it special. Only three owners from new, one of them being the mechanic who looked after the car for the original owner, and having covered under 18,000 miles from leaving the factory it’s a great opportunity to find out why the cars are so well loved.
