The Appeal
The Mini 95 pickup is one of the more unusual and practical variants of the iconic little city car, offering the same nimble handling and economical running costs but with added utility and less expensive chromework. As a direct result, these pick-ups - just like the Mini van - were cheaper to own than the base car, and became quite the popular pick for sole traders.
This particular '81 pickup has been in the current ownership since 2016 and comes with a comprehensive history file including all MOT certificates from new, confirming its low mileage status. With its original features including the dealer's sticker still present in the rear window, this Mini 95 appears in smart condition for its age as either a characterful promotional vehicle for a business or as a distinctive classic for the private enthusiast.
