Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1966 Austin Mini Cooper, a genuine family-owned car since new, presents a unique opportunity. Cherished for its history and recently refurbished, it includes original paperwork and some spares.

Condition
7
The car has been refurbished and used as a summer daily driver, suggesting it's in good running condition but not perfect. The mention of small holes in the parcel shelf and the need for electronic ignition instead of the original points indicates some wear and modifications. However, it's been well-maintained and stored in a Carcoon during winters, implying care and preservation.
