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.
Purchased by the vendor in 2021, ‘J614 PEW’ was provided with an extensive customisation and restoration over the following two years. The restoration included new stove enamelled subframes which were then painted in two-pack Black; full bodywork restoration and repaint; Spax adjustable shocks; stainless steel grill; new bumpers; centre branch manifold with two-inch exhaust; all bolts replaced with stainless; new brake discs, calipers and brake lines; new tyres; uprated sound system with Bluetooth connectivity; engine and gearbox refreshes; and full leather interior trimming. Described by the vendor as a ‘nut and bolt’ restoration, there has been a significant focus upon quality of work completed and attention to detail. Entered from a private collection, the Mini has covered less than 1,000 miles since the restorations completion and is offered with a selection of restoration images. Starting readily and both running and driving well during our recent photography session, this Mini is ready for use! Offered with an MOT certificate until August 2024.
