1993 Beautiful Mini Special Edition British Open Classic For Sale
The British Open Classic of 1992 was a limited edition that refused to die. 1000 cars were produced for the UK market. The electric fabric roof remained as a Mini option through to 2000 and until 1994 (at least) small batches of cars so equipped continued to be shipped to Japan with British Open Classic badging. Original limited edition cars are however recognisable by their Countryman Tweed upholstery with label stitched to seats reading “by appointment to Her Majesty the Queen”. Approximately 200 are still on the road.
The car was derived from the Mini Mayfair, with its 1275cc engine, full length electrically operated Webasto sunroof, Minilite style alloy wheels and opening rear windows.
This mini has undergone extensive bare shell restoration around for many years until 2012-13 by One to One Motor Repairs. It included new steel panels including floors, inner and outer sills, A posts, A panels, Front wings, doors, boot and bonnet. It was lovingly repainted in British Racing Green, with its unique gold decals.
The opening sunroof was redone from its original black Vinyl to BRG Mohair, hand fabricated by a former Aston Martin Works employee. Interior is in the original mushroom hide with stone beige Countryman Tweed upholstery.
It was then recommissioned in 2016 for the present lady owner, who used it and maintained it with care. The car has been living in a garage since its restoration. All maintenance bills are included; MOT is valid until February 2022. Mileage (5034m) is since full restoration.
The car is in beautiful condition, and drives beautifully. Interior has a few signs of its age, with the front driver seat worn; this can be a quick project to change the cover. The original radio works – the tape player needs to be fixed.
The car comes with an original British Open Classic pillow, an original marketing photograph, and many photos of the restoration.
