Description
Older restoration; from long-term ownership; recent Newton Commercial
interior
First registered in June of 1965, this
Austin Mini Cooper has been in the current ownership since
2010.
Undergoing a bare shell restoration in
2009, including weld in floors (see photos). The car presents well, both inside
and out, with a newly upholstered interior from Newton Commercial, making it a
rather nice place to be.
While there are no
invoices to show exactly what was done during its restoration, there are a few
photos to show the car during the process including a photo of it stripped down
to its most minimal form. Resprayed during its restoration in its original and
arguably Mini’s most iconic colour, 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, but still eye catching with its black roof.
Although tax and MOT exempt, we do have MOT certificates dating
from 2011 through to 2016 showing a good track record only failing on minor
issues which then appear to have been rectified for its re-tests. However, this
is about all in terms of paperwork with the vehicle, bar the few photographs of
its restoration.
Overall, a tidy example of a
British icon, with some room for improvement if and when funds
allow.
