1990 Mini Thirty

***Vendor supplied images***

Highlights

  • Featured in Mini Magazine February 2023 edition (pages 66-72)
  • Comprehensive restoration in 2020 including engine and gearbox overhaul
  • Stage 1 performance kit fitted in 2015
  • Original Mini Thirty interior with leather and cloth seats
  • Valid MOT until July 2026



The Appeal

Introduced to celebrate thirty years of the Mini - and oh-so-imaginatively named - the Mini Thirty was a special edition that boasted two limited colour palettes, special badging, an upgraded interior and even a leather-backed book by Rob Golding. Only 3,000 were produced, and they were quickly snapped up. Today, they're one of the most sought-after Mini Limited Editions. And let's be fair, there's a big ol' list of Mini editions. 

This particular example has seen a focus on originality throughout its life, while benefiting from thoughtful performance upgrades. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration in 2020, accompanied by an impressive stock of paperwork and, of course, having been featured in Magazines and events alike, this Thirty is a grand ambassador for the legendary little British city car.
