Description
• Early example of an iconic model • Original and un-restored • Believed-genuine circa 17,520 miles from new • Offered from a private collection 'The new Mini was as different from the British small car norm in 1959 as a space shuttle from a firework.
It bristled with innovative ideas, it looked radically different from any other car and was the most compact "real" car Britain ever produced.' – Chris Rees, 'Complete Classic Mini'.
The passage of time since its departure 15 years ago has only served to enhance the original Mini's classic status, resulting in a healthy demand for exceptionally original and un-restored examples such as that offered here, which displays a believed-correct total of only 17,520 miles on the odometer.
There is no supporting paperwork, but the car's appearance suggests that the total is correct.
A lovely 'time warp' example, it is in generally good condition, although some surface corrosion is beginning to appear in places.
