1987 Austin Mini Mayfair

 ***Vendor supplied images*** 

Highlights

  • Comprehensively restored by previous keeper
  • Stage 1 upgraded 998cc engine
  • MOT valid until June 2026 with no advisories
  • Cooperesque modifications throughout
  • Underside treated with wax and sealer



The Appeal

Let's not beat around the bush; we all know the Mini. For decades this little car has revolutionised the image of city motoring. Indeed, the very British identity has been irrevocably changed by Issigonis's tiny little city car. This particular 1987 example began life as an Austin Mayfair but has since been comprehensively restored and modified with Cooper-inspired upgrades. Still loaded with classic character, but undeniably sportier and more anarchic. 

The vendor has owned the vehicle since September 2019, benefiting from the previous keeper's thorough restoration work which included Stage 1 engine upgrades, tasteful aesthetic modifications, and comprehensive underside protection. With its clean, long MOT, attractive white and black colour scheme, and thoughtful performance enhancements, this is a very impressive Mini indeed.
