Over the past decade, this Austin Mini has been lovingly cared for and maintained with unwavering dedication. A collection of invoices is available to validate the impeccable upkeep it has received. Included with this remarkable Mini is a substantial history file that contains a treasure trove of documents, including Swedish registration records, import documentation, MOT certificates, and even an original brochure from its heyday. When it comes to performance, this classic Mini lives up to its reputation, driving exceptionally well with a sweet-running engine. It's a testament to the enduring appeal and timeless design of the Austin Mini that it can still provide an enjoyable driving experience today. In summary, the 1969 Austin Mini 1000 Mk2 is a rare find, brimming with history and character. Its journey from Sweden to the UK and its immaculate condition make it a true automotive treasure, offering enthusiasts the chance to own a piece of motoring history that continues to delight on the open road.
