This 1960 example presents an exciting restoration opportunity for a Mini enthusiast or any classic car enthusiast. Our vendor has owned the car since 1980 and only used it for four years before dry storing it in South London, where it has remained since. We are advised by our vendor that the Mini rolls freely and does start, although it is likely to overheat, and has poor oil flow despite showing strong oil pressure. Our vendor advises us that all the electrics are working, and that the front wings, sills, rear quarter panels and boot floor/battery box are solid. The A-panels however are severely corroded and the driver's door post and inner support are rotted out, however a new drivers A-panel will be supplied with car. The leatherette seat covers are believed to be salvageable with some maintenance, however the seat foam has degraded, while the paint is in poor condition overall, as can be seen in the photos.
These aspects aside, a Mini is a fabulous car to restore, with a multitude of marque specialists all over the country, and this example provides the perfect starting point for any enthusiast or hobbyist. Consigned by Charlie McCreery
Interested parties should note that this car should be trailered away from the auction.
