Stored in a heated garage and regularly displayed at car shows
Only 15,190 miles on the clock with a scant 2,000 miles covered since 2007
The Appeal
Nobody particularly expected the Mini to hit thirty years of production when it first rolled off of the production lines in 1959, but that's exactly what it did - and it did it in style. The Rover Mini 30th Edition was released to commemorate the diminutive little car's sheer endurance, with only 3,000 manufactured for the UK market - 2,000 in Cherry Red, and 1,000 in Black.
As a result, these are now a much-clamoured for edition for any Mini enthusiast or collector. Having only covered around 2,000 warranted miles since 2007, this particular car may well be one of the lowest-mileage examples on the market, too - complete with its original panels and features.
This Mini has been meticulously maintained, stored in a heated garage and regularly displayed at car shows where it consistently draws attention. Its condition reflects this care, with minimal wear and a deep glossy shine to its black exterior. Put simply, it's a smashing example that has everything going for it - and we've no doubt it'll get plenty of attention on the road.
