Austin Mini 998cc Special Jet Black Edition

Once upon a time we specialised in classic Mini’s, before we moved into performance vehicles. However, this little car is such an excellent and charming example that we couldn’t help but purchase it. It’s excellent for six reasons.

1. Driving Her

She starts first time from cold and drives perfectly. This is to be expected because she has been very well maintained. She even retains her original matching numbers 998cc engine! This has been recently serviced and sounds beautiful. Here is a video of her starting from cold and running (- details above). She has 10 months MOT.

2. Originality

Not only does she have her original engine and gearbox, she also has retained all of her original features. She is one of just 73 special Jet Black editions left on the UK roads (according to the DVLA). The Jet Black Edition was finished in black with a red coach line and special badges, with a complimenting black velour red piped interior.

3. Ownership

We purchased her from an elderly gentleman whom was an avid fan of motor vehicles and had owned her for some time. Hence her being well maintained and very original.

4. Solid Underneath

She is totally solid underneath, with a brand new subframe and solid floors and sills. Please see the pictures for a sample of the underneath.

5. Paintwork

Her body is beautifully finished and nearly corrosion free. This is shown within a walk around video at the following link (- details above) . The only issue she has is that her bonnet and wings have little dots in the paintwork where it reacted as shown in pictures 11, this is only on the bonnet and to a lesser extent the front wings.

6. Extras

She comes equipped with a jacking kit, spare wheel and a nicely carpeted boot.

Accordingly, this is your opportunity to purchase a Mini that drives perfectly, has been well maintained and is reliable, a Mini that is very original, retaining all of its original features and being correct to its period and a Mini that is totally solid underneath with very few signs of corrosion anywhere. Whilst the paintwork on her bonnet isn’t perfect, with small dots in the paint, the rest of her bodywork is fantastic.
