Power comes from a lively 1275cc multi-point injection A-series engine, producing around 62bhp through a four-speed manual transmission. Features including \u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003etwin spot lamps, 12-inch Minilite alloy wheels, Union Jack roof decal stickers, push-out rear windows, a leather-bound steering wheel and gear knob, and a burr walnut dashboard with magnolia-faced dials. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;\"\u003eDisplaying just 24,179 miles from new, this Mini has had only two owners, the latest having cherished it for the past twenty-three years. Throughout their ownership, it was driven carefully and exclusively in fair weather, with a clear emphasis placed on preservation rather than regular use. The Mini became a familiar participant on London to Brighton runs, with the accompanying event stickers serving as reminders of those enjoyable occasions. When not in use, it was carefully stored in a dry garage and kept on a battery conditioner. Letting the car go was by no means an easy decision, but with fewer than 1,000 miles covered during the past nine years, the owner ultimately decided it was time for someone else to enjoy it. The Mini also benefits from an impressive MOT history, with no recorded corrosion concerns and advisory-free passes at each of its last two MOT tests.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003eThe condition of the car is a testament to its careful ownership and low mileage. The bodywork appears straight and well aligned, with correct gaps between the scuttle and tops of the wings. Body-colour vented sills are present on both sides, the original factory ‘body’ number is present on the bonnet slam panel, and the inner wings display uniform factory spot welds. The chassis number is correctly stamped into the scuttle panel and etched into both the front and rear screens. The glass, chromework and trim all present in excellent order, while the window rubbers have retained their rich black colour. The original supplying dealer number plate holders also remain in situ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003eInside, the cabin is exceptionally clean and well preserved, reflecting the car's low mileage and careful ownership. The seats, carpets and headlining remain in excellent condition, free from visible tears or damage, and the original Mini-branded radio\/cassette is still fitted. The leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob display only a light, honest patina, while the rear seats appear barely used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003eElsewhere, the boot and engine bay are in commendable condition and the undercarriage has been waxoyl protected for longevity. On the road, the 1275cc multi-point injection engine feels lively and responsive, pulling cleanly through all four gears with smooth, precise changes and driving as a low-mileage Mini should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003eFreshly serviced and MOT’d until 18\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e May 2027, the Mini is supplied with two sets of keys and a comprehensive history file including a complete MOT history record and the original owner's handbooks and service portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003eDates and mileages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e9,973 Miles (06\/06\/2002)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e16,481 Miles (05\/08\/2003)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e17,263 Miles (06\/08\/2004)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e18,010 Miles (18\/07\/2005)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e18,365 Miles (31\/07\/2006)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e18,771 Miles (30\/07\/2007)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e19,073 Miles (01\/08\/2008)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e19,553 Miles (21\/07\/2009)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e19,688 Miles (22\/07\/2010)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e19,778 Miles (22\/07\/2011)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e19,975 Miles (20\/07\/2012)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e20,579 Miles (09\/08\/2013)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e20,655 Miles (21\/07\/2014)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e21,759 Miles (21\/07\/2015)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e22,357 Miles (18\/07\/2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,279 Miles (26\/07\/2017)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,592 Miles (27\/07\/2018)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,782 Miles (22\/07\/2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,799 Miles (28\/07\/2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,831 Miles (23\/07\/2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e23,878 Miles (28\/07\/2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e24,140 Miles (24\/07\/2023)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e24,179 Miles (19\/05\/2026)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Mini is currently being prepared for sale.
