The Appeal

One of the most iconic little cars in history - the 90s saw the Mini take on a major resurgence during the middle of 'Cool Britannia' - and arguably resulted in the most refined, spirited example of the nearly forty year old classic. Still holding onto its iconic mid-century styling, everything remained reassuringly retro while proving eminently capable on the road. Such was the resurgence's success that the new Mini Cooper rolled out in late 1991, with a 1275cc fuel-injected A-Series engine under the bonnet.

This fabulous example has undergone plenty of restoration work in recent years, with over £12,000 spent. The result is a repainted, retrimmed and mechanically restored vehicle, ready and waiting to return to the road with its lucky new owner.
