The Appeal

The 1990s saw a renaissance of love for the classic Mini. What ignited this new fire is hard to explain, but we were in the new era of 'Cool Britannia', helped by the rise of Britpop and a nostalgia for the modernist period of the 50's and 60's. It was almost a neo-mod era for new generations of music fans and drivers, and the pipe-smoking lads at Rover responded enthusiastically.

This superb '95 Mini Sealine arrives in excellent condition, having undergone a recent restoration. In the process it has been repainted to its original blue, given new upholstery and freshened up from top to bottom. It's a beautiful, ready-to-drive example of one of the world's most recognisable classics.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or placing a bid, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.

✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
