The Appeal
The Mini's brash, quintessentially British character is inimitable - a style all its own, which has managed to endure in an ever-changing market for some forty years. Whether launched on a rally route or leisurely strolling down rural lanes, this car is a pop culture icon.
This particular Mini has only had three owners, all from the same area, is complete with its original owner's manuals and booklets, and has received a number of modifications that make it highly desirable to any enthusiast.
