The Appeal

Issigonis's masterpiece changed the world - and this is a lovely example of its authentically '60s early years. Diminutive, attractive, and still carrying the Morris branding that exemplified this era, the Mini 850 was known as the 'Mascot' in Denmark, where this car has spent its entire life.

This Mini 850 is well worth your attention. The matching numbers engine and chassis, confirmed by the British Motor Heritage Industry Trust Certificate, are all present and correct, and that 'Mascot' aura is still present and correct from rooftop to the tyres. If you're after a lovely example of Morris's famous little car, this is an excellent proposition.
