A rare and exciting classic that’s full of character and a joy to drive. We bought this lovely car two years ago as my husband always wanted a classic Mini.
We named her Audrey - it’s compulsory to name a classic car lol!
We have really enjoyed the car but have 4 Morris Minors and as such we just don’t get chance to drive her as much as we would like so have decided to let someone else cherish and enjoy driving her instead.
