* Rare survivor example of a durable comfortable classic
* Good basis for an everyday driver or a rolling restoration
* Low mileage and many original features
With a sound body and good paintwork, this Mini is largely unrestored and has benefitted from living in Denmark, where it is registered. Imported to the UK in 2015 by its enthusiast owner, it is offered with its Danish title document to enable registration. The interior is also in good order, with a re-covered red leather driver's seat, the passenger seat is original and trimmed in the same colour hide. The car rolls on wider Cooper steel wheels with good tyres. This is an ideal candidate for further conversion into a rally car, its left-hand drive configuration making it well suited to continental events.
