The original Mini was a revolution on wheels - offering iconic style and space for the masses. The fuel crisis beating 'people's car' that became a fashion icon, synonymous with Britain and the 'swinging '60s'. The mechanical genius of the design placed the ubiquitous 'A-Series' engine transversely across the frame with the gearbox with its sump. A rubber cone suspension replaced springs, accentuating the 'go-kart'-like handling and allowing for 80 percent of the floorpan to be used by passengers and their luggage. The 80s and 90s saw the classic Mini wearing satin Black/Grey bumpers on some models, to aid modernisation in the changing range of a ‘modern’ Austin Rover line-up. Later examples began to accept their aesthetic heritage and chrome bumpers returned.
First registered on the 30th of September 1991, this special edition Neon (998cc) iteration of the 1990s classic Mini, displays just c.65,690 miles from new. Finished in a Dark Silver with a Silver cloth upholstery, the mileage is believed to be correct, with all MOTs from new on file to support this. There are just 3 former keepers recorded on the V5C, this manual example is offered with a collection of old MOTs, the original handbooks and service book and even comes with the original sales invoice. The vendor describes the car as in ‘outstanding condition. With a recent service and 12 months MOT, this is a true classic limited edition Mini, to be enjoyed into the future.
