DESCRIPTION
This is a genuine 1966 850 cc Mk 1 Austin Mini. The 37,800 miles is believed genuine and the car is of course tax exempt. It comes with a current, MOTThis car was recommissioned three years ago after being stored for many years. Taken back to bare metal with the oiginal sills and body, the paint is in excellent condition. Shut lines are faultless, as one would expect for a car so original. Finished in the original colour of Tweed Grey with an old English white roof. The interior is in great condition with seats from a Mk II Mini but they are far superior to the originals.
Here is some additional information that may answer some questions you may have:Cooper S steel wheels and the original period Lucas spot lightsFresh MOTFour former keepers Hydro suspensionA couple of patches have been welded in the floor, so the floor-pan is all sorted and solid.All original panels and sills.New brake and clutch cylinders, brake shoes and brake fluid.New radiator.
Due to the age of the car we cannot guarantee the mileage is genuine, however it has to be the quietest, smoothest A Series engine we have ever heard, which makes us think it really is a very low mileage car.
Chrome is nice and presentable and the car is on the button and ready to go.
