Here we have one of the nicest Austin Minis we have seen in a long time.

This Mini was registered new to its first owner on 7/9/1961, a Miss Grace Tosbell of Colchester, by Maldon Road Garage of Colchester.

She kept the Mini until 28/12/1978 when it became the property of a Mr Bernard Pepper who kept the car until 15/6/2022.

So, this Mini has only ever had 3 owners in all its life - 64 years in total, wow! We are delighted to have all the V5s detailing this information and, most importantly, the original service book complete with stamps and details of its early servicing.

This is accompanied by its original owner’s manual and advertising brochures - amazing it still survives and even better that it comes with the Mini.

It even comes with a parts list and brochure.

The Mini is finished in a lovely shade of what you may call duck egg blue with blue trim finished with white piping, all in stunning condition.

Even under the bonnet and the boot area are in stunning condition.
