Iconic style, quintessentially British and with an ability to keep reinventing itself, the Mini, is one of the most instantly recognisable cars in the world. Originally designed by Sir Alex Issigonis the Mini was originally launched in August 1959 as the Morris Mini Minor and the Austin Seven, by 1961 it became just the Austin Mini and then after just 8 years and with over 1 million units sold the 'Mini' became a marque in its own right.
Unique in its design, the Mini captured the hearts of many with its transverse engine, front wheel drive layout and incredibly compact dimensions and it quickly became one the best selling British cars, and with its light steering, excellent balance and nimble driving characteristics the Mini became a dominant force in motorsport through the 60's and 70's with multiple wins on the Monte Carlo Rally, 1000 Lakes, British Saloon Car Championships and European Touring Car Championships.

With its staggering low mileage (yes it really is 2950 miles), its not often that we're lost for words when describing a car, but ............! As close to " as new " as your ever likely to find, we believe this must be one of the finest, low mileage and most original examples available. We've taken her on a 10 mile test drive and she performs faultlessly. Driving a Mini is a huge amount of fun, but to open the door and smell 'as new' leather and to sit in and drive such a low mileage example is a real privilege. All the controls work exactly as they should, the electric sunroof folds back and allows the outside to shine in and the with the 1.3i injection engine singing crisply we just know you'll fall in love with her too.
Sold with her original written order form, paperwork confirming delivery for the 9th November 2000, customer correspondence, invoicing for servicing etc, Mini book pack, MOTs (she was kept in temperature control storage from 2009-17, service book showing (services at PDI, 799 miles, 1202 miles, 1776 miles, 1987 miles, 2237 miles), 2 sets of keys (including alarm / immobiliser fobs) this classic Mini Cooper is the finest we've ever seen and is now looking for a new home to cherish this astonishing icon of British motoring.
