The Attractions
Launched in June 1989, the Mayfair 30th Anniversary version is one of the most attractive of the many celebrated special editions of the Mini. Distinguished by unique emblems and a refined decorative stripe on the sides, it is a Mini that certainly gets noticed while not losing the sobriety and purity of line that made this small car so popular. Only 3,000 were built, and of these only 150 in Cherry Red colouring were imported to Italy, which is really a pity, because Italy seems the ideal country for the Mini!
This pleasant example has lived a quiet existence, has had only two owners since its registration and seems to have retained much of its originality. We are told that it is efficient and drives well, and that its attractive Cherry Red paintwork was freshened up last year, which gives it an extraordinary sheen and makes this charming car even more attractive. It has been fitted with Innocenti dials, but the original instrument cluster will be delivered with the car and is ready to be reinstalled if desired.
