Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. An obsessively restored very early Mini, built some 2+ months after production started, from a dilapidated barn find. Meticulously detailed with correct configuration and dated origil or NOS parts and in better than showroom condition. Nine first place trophies and a Mini Magazine feature article to show for it. Comes with a custom enclosed trailer.

Market commentary

This is no high performance 1275cc Cooper S. Its the 848cc plugger. The restoration is a labor of love which seems poorly rewarded by the price. Like so many cars like this the owner restorer probably couldnt bear to drive it, which is unfortunate for him but the new owners good fortune.
