The Appeal

1994 saw a rather impressive milestone for Britain's beloved classic. 35 years of production. Still as popular as ever, buyers were offered a special edition Mini to celebrate the landmark. Aptly named the Mini 35, a selection of tasteful accessories, decals and options were offered to create a unique variant of what was and undeniably still is one of the most iconic cars of all time.

Increasingly rare, the 35 is always a popular hit with collectors due to its limited production and significance in the Mini production run. The example we have here is a great example of the coveted nameplate, well presented both from an aesthetic and mechanical standpoint and fitted with some subtle and tasteful modifications, this a Mini that turns heads and is a genuinely special and usable classic car.
