As a lifelong classic Mini enthusiast, I know how much these little cars mean.
I specialise in sourcing and selling quality classic Minis, with a particular focus on models from the early 1990s through to the final years of production.
Each car is carefully selected with enthusiasts in mind, ready to be enjoyed and driven.
Whether buying or selling, the aim is simple: to connect great cars with people who truly appreciate them.

Always a good turnout at this event, with a great variety of vehicles on display from across the eras. A fair number of classic Minis in attendance once again, alongside everything from pre-war to more modern classics.
Fuel-injected Classic Minis can be easier to own. Compare 1,275cc SPi and MPi cars with earlier carburettor models before you buy.
DavidFrom the first enquiry email to Phil, up until collection of the Mini, he has been the ultimate professional! Every stage Phil has been patient, informative and courteous. The sale of my Mini was emotionally challenging but Phil was incredibly supportive and made the sale the easiest it could be! Without a doubt, an excellent buyer.
JonathanI was looking for a Mini for over a year and nearly fell in some pit holes along the way, but then I saw a Mini at Phil Mires Classic Cars, and this is when I met Phil. From start to finish he has made the whole experience what it should be when buying a Mini; fun and informative.
NickI have just sold my Mini to Phil. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgable. Extremely efficient and speedy transaction. Money transfer very quick and car picked up within two days. The best stress free sale of a car I have ever done. Thank you Phil.
