"A charming little jewel in excellent original condition. We did not take the car out optimally at the time of the photo and test. We stayed indoors because the weather was dismal, rainy, and muddy. This car had not been exposed to the elements throughout the current owner's ownership."

Description

A nearly untouched and undriven car with a fascinating backstory. In Sweden, 97/98. Svenska Spel afterwards bought it as lottery winnings. Instead of the car, the winner pocketed money, and the car was "forgotten" and remained standing. It eventually ended up with a car dealer in 2006, which is where today's owner comes in. He purchased it, diligently cared for it, and drove it sparingly. In recent years, primarily for inspection purposes. When the owner has driven the car, he has always worn a seat cover over the driver's seat. Since new, only 13,670 guaranteed kilometers have been recorded.

The owner has replaced the rear-view mirrors, as well as the windshield wipers and blades, with chrome ones. He also got Cibié some extra lights, original t parts are included. Also included are the original instruction book, service book, double keys, inspection report, and a folder with different receipts and papers.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine starts easily and runs quietly and well. Although it has not been driven or tested outside of the garage, there should be no problems enjoying this car on the roads. Given how long it has been standing, a review may still be in order.
    The chassis is in excellent original condition, with a new rear silencer. Hankook tires that are newer.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is in pristine original shape, with a gorgeous color scheme and fine wooden instruments. Leather accents in the interior, as well as leather on the steering wheel and gear knob.

  • Exterior condition

    Paintwork, glass, chrome, and wheels are all in excellent original condition. The Union Jack looks great on the roof, and it's original. Chrome rearview mirrors and windshield wipers were added.

  • General condition

    A Mini Cooper in excellent condition with low mileage, entirely roadworthy and drivable. A good investment and and popular collectors car.

Facts about the model

Mini - en motorhistorisk ikon. Är man det minsta intresserad av motorhistorik, vet man att Alec Issigonis konstruerade modellen och att konceptet med en tvärställd motor fram, framhjulsdrift och därmed goda innerutrymmen i en liten vagn var och är ett framgångsrecept som håller än idag.

Minin såg dagens ljus redan 1959 och tillverkades av BMC 1959-1969, British Leyland 1969-1984 och därefter Rover Group fram tom 2000. Sedan var det stopp för den ursprungliga modellen. Fast den lever vidare i ny skepnad, genom BMW.

Sista serien, eller Mark VII, 1996-2000 har en motor på 1,3 L på 63 hkr. Skivbromsar fram. Hel instrumentbräda och nu även Airbag till föraren.

Minin kom att tillverkas i mängder av versioner, i olika fabrikat, i olika länder och världsdelar. Det tillverkades också mängder av modellvarianter som bygger på Minin. Den traditionella Minin och dess olika varianter tillverkades i nästan 5,4 miljoner exemplar.

Minin var älskad då och är minst lika älskad nu - den är helt enkelt odödlig och lika brittisk som Beatles och Stilton ost.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
