SUMMARY
If the world is getting you down, half an hour in this bespoke Mini 'Bumble Bee' could make all the difference. To be sold with 'No Reserve'.
DESCRIPTION
- Unlikely to be missed in retina-searing yellow with a black roof, Cooper Sport wheel spats and running boards
- The engine number on this twin SU-equipped '85 Mini Mayfair says 998cc, however, we understand that it is now 1200cc (TBC)
- This little 'ray of sunshine' has a bespoke Cooper Sport-style interior mirroring its vibrant exterior
- Apparently, it was completed a few years ago and has been little used since, prompting its sale
- Will come to the auction with a fresh MOT and, offered on a No Reserve basis, is sure to generate good interest
