SUMMARY
An exceptionally reasonable way into top-down classic motoring with a rarely seen convertible variation of the Super Minx. To be sold with 'No Reserve'.
DESCRIPTION
- Previous long-term ownership between 2013-2022 before our vendor's acquisition for the private Collection in August 2022
- The history file contains the original sales brochure, Owners Handbook and a selection of bills and correspondence
- Well maintained by the previous owner, hence its good running and driving condition, however cosmetic attention is required to the roof and some bodywork
- An older restored example due to a 'Category D' insurance write-off in 1999, which stated the car was 'damaged but repairable with the insurer deciding not to repair'
- Rare to find a four-seater convertible at such reasonable money
