1974 Austin Mini City Convertible

Highlights

  • Rarely-spotted Mini convertible
  • Comes with a folder of history documentation
  • Garage-stored for the last three years
  • Compelling project

The Appeal

Thanks to its peppy 848cc A-Series engine, four-speed manual gearbox and compact wheelbase, the Mini remains one of the most treasured British B-Road machines, and easily amongst the most acclaimed classics out there. The Mini proved versatile, too, with a strong culture of conversions and rebuilds taking hold over the years, making the most of Alec Issigonis's simple design to make everything from pickups to convertibles.
 
This 1974 example has belonged to the seller's late husband and comes accompanied by a folder of history documentation. It was last driven over three years ago and has been garage-stored since. As a 1974 vehicle, it benefits from MOT exemption, and it will likely reward a thorough recommissioning to get it back on the road. A Mini convertible is a relatively rare sight, and we think this one will prove a particularly fun runaround.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 
We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
