SUMMARY
Fun, practical, classic Mini pick up, the perfect winter project offered at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The vehicle had just been fully restored by its Mini-enthusiast long-term owner when it was purchased by our vendor in 2021
- Finished in Old English White with a black roof, very 1960s Mini-Cooper, it's fitted with the, now impossible to find, tubular tilt framework
- New interior throughout including black vinyl seats, red dash, door cards and carpets. Supplied with both tilt and tonneau covers
- Used and enjoyed until one day it stopped. Our vendor is not technically minded so she just put it in the garage and left it there
- An imminent house sale forces the little Mini's disposal
- There isn’t much in terms of paperwork supplied, although the restoration was fully photographed
- A fun, practical classic that, when running and further detailed, could continue show life or put into service as a classic commercial vehicle. Everyone loves a Mini Pick-up
