Austin Mini Super Deluxe (1969)
Welcome to the sale of this stunning Austin Mini 1380cc Super Deluxe finished in Snowberry White with a Gloss Black roof. This car has been completely and lovingly restored over 9 years with every nut and bolt replaced. Complete shell out respray including underneath, inside, engine bay, and boot. New subframes, engine, interior. The previous owner tried to use all original parts that were salvageable for the added patina which most restored Minis lack. The car looks completely standard from the outside but with the engine, brakes, and suspension being fully upgraded to an amazing spec! This car drives and sounds amazing, very fast little car but also cruises along at normal speed which most modified cars don’t.
Amazing history file which includes stacks of bills, restoration pictures, heritage certificate, and lots of old invoices.
