Original book pack
'Special Edition' Minis first appeared in the mid-1970s and the one offered here is a super example of the very collectable 1992 'British Open Classic'.
Purchased by its first owner in November 1992 from Albert Farnell Rover in Guisely, this Mini is finished in the requisite British Racing Green metallic paint, gold stripes and decals, and features a desirable electric sunroof, and half leather seating.
The 'Open Classic' was the first UK-market model with a folding electric sunroof as standard which really sets it apart from other Special Edition Minis.
Being one of just 1,000 built, this example has been subject to restoration works approximately 3 years ago.
