1986 Austin Mini Piccadilly

Description

Only 38,700 miles from new; restored in 2016 with various upgrades including new leather interior, walnut dash, Hi-Lo suspension etc; engine rebuilt with dyno sheets showing 48bhp; a smart example of this luxury Limited Edition Mini

First registered in June 1986, this smart Mini Piccadilly is one of a limited run of only 2,500 Piccadilly models made. All were originally finished in Gold with a brown interior, wheelarch extensions plus a variety of other subtle upgrades.

This particular example has covered only 38,725 miles from new, as warranted by 15 old MOTs from 1991 – 2005 when the car was taken off the road. It comes with notes stating that it was restored in 2016. The body was stripped and repaired before being repainted in Old English White with all new brightwork. Both sub-frames were also renewed. The brakes have all been rebuilt with new calipers and pipes and it has Hi-Lo suspension, alloy wheels and new tyres.

The interior was retrimmed with green leather seats, matching door cards and carpets, walnut dash, Smiths clocks, woodrim steering wheel, new headlining and additional sound-proofing. It has a Kenwood KDC 3051 CD/radio with West Coast Customs Orion 10” sub-woofers under the rear seats and a roof-mounted aerial.  

The engine was also stripped and rebuilt, dyno sheets on file showing that it was rolling road tuned in 2019 and produced 48.7bhp and 56lb/ft (factory figures were 42bhp and 58lb/ft).

The car was then put into storage until 2022 when it had a £534 spend to cure an oil leak which had been an advisory on the 2019 MOT. The last MOT expired on 9^th June 2023 with no advisories recorded. The V5C records four previous owners, the current since 2018, and an owner’s handbook is also present.

As you can see in the photos, this low mileage and luxuriously trimmed Mini now looks very smart indeed and has been starting promptly and running nicely as we have moved it around on site.
