SUMMARY
20,513 miles only, from ten years in private collections and now ready to be enjoyed!
DESCRIPTION
- Classic Mini Cooper 1.3 Sports in British Racing Green, on Minilite alloys and with a very smart black interior
- On offer from the Anthony Hamilton Collection and only 20,513 miles
- Originally supplied new by Priests of Chesham who serviced the car (seven stamps) up to 2006
- Moved to Dorset, then Bucks, prior to spending the next ten years in three private collections
- It's probably about time that someone used it to do what Mini Coopers were designed to do
Offered here, and always a popular addition to our catalogues is a lovely low mileage Mini Cooper in British Racing Green with a Black interior. It has only travelled 20,513 miles and is on offer from the Anthony Hamilton Collection, a self-confessed Mini enthusiast. It was originally supplied new by Priests of Chesham who were responsible for most of the servicing (seven service stamps) up to 2006 and 15,102 miles. The service invoices then show it spent some time in Dorset with service details from CA Spiering & Son of Wimbourne. It then returned to an owner in Great Missenden Buckinghamshire before becoming part of a well-known collection. It subsequently became part of another collection before joining the collection of our vendor in 2014 who has enjoyed trips in convoy with friends driving his other Minis. It's supplied with a history file containing the original books, service invoices and record of the last comprehensive service which included the replacement of the exhaust system in February of this year and a full MOT valid until September 2021.
This charming Mini has resided for a lot of its life in significant classic car collections in the UK and it's probably about time that someone used it to do what Mini Coopers were designed to do.
