SUMMARY
Rare Super De Luxe Mk 1 from long term storage in a private Collection and in need of recommissioning. Offered without reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- From its VIN number (#M-A2S4S) we can establish that this Mk1 was built as a Morris Mini Minor Super De Luxe
- The contemporary spec for a Super De Luxe included monotone paintwork and matching vinyl trim, the Cooper three instrument binnacle with black faced gauges, piano-hinged rear windows, one piece chrome plastic sill mouldings, bumpers with corner bars and overriders and a black painted rear number plate lamp
- First registered in 1964, this Mini Minor was owned by motorcycle shop, Whitbys of Acton Ltd, remaining in London until moving to Birmingham in 1966, where it was then purchased and in daily use until 1974, before being put into storage where it remained until 2011
- Since being added to the Collection, the Mini has been partially restored, although has had little or no use, completing less than 1,000 miles since 1974
- Finished in its original Surf Blue (BU35) and now with an Old English White roof and sitting on Minilite-style alloys
- The Powder Blue vinyl interior is in need of further work
- Powered by its original 848cc A-Series engine producing 34bhp when new
- Supplied with its original buff logbook and some previous MOTs
- Dry stored in the 18 months since our vendor's husband's passing, however recommissioning will be required before regular use
