Launched in the summer of 1959 as Sir Alec Issigonis's sideswipe at the Bubble Car which had swept through Europe in the late 1950s, the Mini was truly a revolutionary car. Packing a remarkable amount of interior space into its 10ft length by placing its 'A' series engine sideways from 'east to west' in the engine bay, the practicalities which had dominated its design concept seemed almost accidentally to produce a small car which on its rubber-cone suspension and 10-inch wheels was remarkable fun to drive. Launched in BMC tradition as both an Austin (the Seven, or 'Se7en' in contemporary advertising) and a Morris (Mini-Minor) it was the 'Mini' name that stuck in the long term. Although had original marketing plans to call the Austin version the 'Newmarket' succeeded then this could perhaps have been very different! Sales were initially sluggish but the Mini's rapid acceptance amongst the elite as 'the' car to be seen in soon saw this overcome and by 1963 it had dislodged the Ford Anglia to become the best selling car in the UK.

Manufactured in August of 1967 and Supplied by Holland Brothers Ltd of Boston in August 1968, this rare and desirable Morris Mini Super De Luxe is presented in the attractive combination of Almond Green with matching Porcelain Green interior and has been in current ownership since 2013. Over these 9 years, it has seen little more than 300 miles use and currently displays just 36,876 miles on the odometer. Featuring hydrolastic suspension and unusual factory automatic gearbox, this particular example also boasts two wicker baskets located under the rear seat cushion, steel wheels dressed with Dunlop SP Aquajet radial tyres sourced from the Heritage Centre, as well as a vinyl coated felt mat with a later fitted velour over mat in the boot.

Previously enthusiast owned enjoying a number of classic car shows and events, ‘KJL 586G’ is a multiple award winner and is offered for sale with 2 folders worth of previous historyinsluding a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate confirming the vehicle retains its original engine. The V5C also included displays just 3 former keepers. The vendor rates the condition of the bodywork, engine, electrical equipment, paintwork, transmission and interior trim all as ‘very good’.
