• Just 12,672 miles from new
• Understood to have been in single family ownership from new
• Driven until requiring its first MOT and garage stored ever since
• Rare to see original factory specification 1980s Mini, and recommissioned ready for sale

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.

Manufactured in 1985, the Mini E was supplied new to the United Kingdom being road registered on the 15^th February that year. Finished in Red paintwork with a two-tone Brown and Beige vinyl and cloth interior upholstery and Brown carpets, it is understood to have been purchased into the current family ownership when new. The Mini was used until requiring its first MOT (when three years old), covering just 12,672 miles in this time. Placed into storage in the garage, it remained there ever since until being unearthed this year and after thirty-seven years. ‘B671 BGP’ is therefore very original and it is both rare and pleasing to see an unmodified and original factory specification 1980s Mini with original features such as the steel wheels and the interior. According to the vendor, still possessing that ‘new car/showroom’ smell, the Mini is being re-commissioned in preparation for the auction. Still in possession of its original jack, the Mini is offered with a workshop manual and the V5 document. Unmolested Minis with such low mileage like this example, are few and far between. This is not one to be missed for the Mini enthusiast and collector.
