1993 Very rare late Radford Mini de Ville For Sale

Very rare late Radford Mini de Ville
Recommissioned last year and in excellent condition
Leather interior
Iconic basket weave

Harold Radford was well-established with his Bentley and Rolls-Royce upgrades but by the 1960s his company had turned its attention to the Mini, whose interior, while functional, didn’t necessarily find favor with the well-heeled who desired something more luxurious. Having produced a posh Mini for the Peter Sellers movie ‘A Shot in the Dark’, such was the demand from followers of high fashion for similar, alongside many famous personalities such as the Beatles. Thirty-five years later, the legendary status symbol was revived by the famous London firm with a second generation of Radford Minis produced, a fine and largely original example of this being offered here.
The vehicle was first registered on 1st August 1993, and under my ownership has undergone a light restoration and recommissioning after 15 years in dry storage.
The vehicle is in excellent condition all round with some age-related areas as expected with a car of this age. Alloys have been refurbished, with new tires all round. The interior leather has been re-connolised with new headlining, and benefits from an electric tilt and slide sunroof which was an added extra at the time of the Radford conversion.
The vehicle starts and drives very, well mainly due to the genuine low mileage. The engine is standard and has had a full service. The automatic gearbox changes smoothly.
The bodywork is in excellent condition with the iconic basket weave decals. The replacement bumpers are in stainless steel, and we managed to source new chrome peaked headlamp surrounds.
The private number plate is included in the sale and has been valued at £700.

Recommissioned last year, this late Radford Mini presents very well and comes with some history, original handbooks and wallet.
