We are very pleased to offer a real slice of the seventies with a stunning 1974 Austin Mini 1000 finished in Flame red with a sexy set of Minilite wheels. Genuine MK3 Minis are very rare and sought after, they offer all the Classic Mini charm, ten inch wheels, three clock binnacle and are also very easy to own and use on a daily basis. This example has its original engine, body number and commission number so has all the correct features. It has covered 48k with only 6 previous owners in 49 years. It has benefitted from much recent expenditure and is presented in ready to drive and enjoy condition.
On the road this Mini drives very well indeed. The 998 engine holds strong oil pressure and performs well, it has a stage one kit with an RC40 exhaust so it has a subtle burble. It easily keeps up with modern traffic and thanks to four new tyres it handles beautifully. The ten inch wheel ride is very smooth and accurate and out on the open road you can really find out just how well these amazing cars handle and this on is no exception.

The interior is very well presented and benefits from a recent retrim whilst still looking original. The seats and roof liner have been replaced. It has the original door cards and a recent carpet set. The all important three clock binnacle is present and correct and its correct MK3 switch panel with manual screen wash pump. It also has a period Sports steering wheel.
This Mini has a super solid bodyshell with body coloured floors pans, solid sills and boot floor. It also benefits from a recent rear subframe. The paintwork gleams and is in fantastic condition that belies it near 50 year vintage, and a new set of Minilite wheels finish of the looks of this fantastic Mini. Whoever drives this Mini will instantly appreciate how nice it is and will enjoy it as much as I have.
We have fully serviced, checked, driven and tuned this little gem, it has full 12 months and it is also MOT and Tax exempt.
Further images and two walk round Videos are available.
We also offer a delivery service.
