The Appeal

In effect, Minis are go-karts with number plates. They really are brilliant cars to drive thanks to their incredibly low mass and innovative front-wheel-drive configuration. Every petrolhead should find room in their garage for one - and being so small - you don't need much!

Registered in Spain since 2007, this Mini Cooper has undergone a thorough restoration to address any rust issues and has been resprayed in its original green using period-correct solvent paint. The result is a car that not only looks fantastic but also its period charm. The interior has been upgraded with more comfortable and safer front seats - a very sensible choice. We're assured that the Mini has been very well maintained and continues to drive superbly.
