The Appeal
The Mascot was the local Danish name for the long-lived classic Mini. This very appealing Pickup benefits from a recent professional restoration that included repainting in stand-out red and fitting a potent 1,275cc engine. €8,000 alone was expended on rebuilding the engine.
With its dinky four spoke alloys, this is one really tidy-looking Pickup. The vendor describes it as one of the best available, a view supported by the photos. It would make a great advert for a classic restoration or parts business, or for an enthusiast looking for a great example of the rare pick up.
The vendor says:
“Drives as a Mini - lots of noise and fun like a go-kart with the 1275 cc engine.”
