The Mini will always be one of the most enduring legacies of British motoring. Its diminutive proportions, expression-filled grille, and distinctive, perky character on the road have all become the stuff of legend. It is arguably the most iconic car top ever produced by a British production line.
Older Minis often come to us a little worn, having gobbled up miles and proven weak against the British climate - so this fabulous 1971 example is quite an exception, having only covered 41,999 km (around 26,000 miles) since new. This car was owned by a school teacher, who had it gifted to her by her father. Throughout the family ownership that followed, it was kept in a cosy dry garage and very well maintained, which leads to a car in superb order - boasting a clean, well-presented livery of Old English White on a very well-kept red cabin.
Recently serviced, and acting as a bonafide time capsule, we expect this fabulous mini will attract plenty of well-deserved interest.image00058.jpeg4.66 MB
