1959 Austin Seven (Mini) - Classic Car Sales USA

Vehicle Overview
Technical Specifications

Very few classic cars - or any car for that matter - hold as much reverence as the Mini, which continues to be loved by generations more than 65 years since its 1959 launch. The history of this revolutionary motorcar is well known, and its cultural, social, and mechanical impact is well documented. On its introduction, the Mini was marketed by Morris as the 'Morris Mini-Minor' and by Austin as the 'Austin Seven'; the latter until 1961 when it was rebranded the 'Austin Mini'. (Mini later became a marque in its own right in 1969.) Early Minis have become particularly sought after, with 1959 and 1960 examples difficult to find in good condition.

This fully-restored Austin Seven 'Mini' is one of the earliest production examples, having first been registered in October 1959. Its first two owners were cousins, meaning the car was in single-family ownership until 2013, when our vendor purchased it. Finished in Speedwell Blue, with a cream and red leather-and-cloth interior, the car was restored comprehensively and to a very high standard, concluding in 2020. A complete photographic record of the restoration is available on request. This Mini is one of the earliest you're likely to find on sale, and presented in truly fantastic condition, with a history that's hard to match. Offered with its original bill of sale, this is a car for any and every enthusiast, and not to be missed by either. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
