AI Listing Summary
This 1965 Austin Mini Cooper, with its iconic red and black color scheme, was restored in 2009, including a bare shell restoration and a new Newton Commercial interior.

Condition

The car underwent a bare shell restoration in 2009, including weld in floors. The bodywork is as you would expect of a 14-year-old paint job, the red still vibrant and looking good albeit with areas of imperfection. MOT certificates dating from 2011 through to 2016 showing a good track record only failing on minor issues. Overall, a tidy example of a British icon, with some room for improvement if and when funds allow.
