Introduced in June 1992 and based on the flagship Mayfair 1275cc model, just 1,000 British Open Classic Minis were produced for the UK market. Finished in British Racing Green with gold coachlines and 'Mini British Open Classic' Coat of Arms decals, the newcomer also sported Black wheelarch extensions/sill finishers and rode on Minilite-style alloy wheels. A full-length electrically operated Webasto sunroof and opening rear windows allowed plenty of fresh air into the interior which featured a Cream leather steering wheel, Stone Beige Countryman Tweed upholstery with leather inserts and green piping, and 'By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen' labels stitched to the front seats.

Manufactured in 1992, the British Open Classic offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 10^th of December that year, being registered new to Rover Group M.V.O Department. In long-term previous ownership, the former keeper purchased the Mini from his mother-in-law in c.2005 and after a short period of use, embarked on a comprehensive ‘nut and bolt’ restoration. A sheet metal worker for the likes of Aston Martin, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce, he restored the shell before the Mini was painted by an ex-McLaren and Aston Martin paint shop manager.

Subtly upgraded with a stage one kit (including LCB manifold and Maniflow exhaust), Sportspack arches, 13-inch Minilite wheels, Hi-Lo suspension, Spax adjustable dampers, Poly bushes, aluminium radiator, amongst others. ‘K450 EKV’ shows 55,171 miles on the odometer at the time of consignment, and is offered with a history file which includes the original book pack including stamped service book and owner’s manual in the Rover wallet, as well as a few previous MOTs, a no advisory current MOT certificate until February 2023, images depicting the restoration and a current V5C.
