Austin Mini 1000 1978'
Dry Stored for 18 Years.
Very original practically untouched Mini 1000.
I bought this car out of storage where it had been sat for 18 years.
This car is an original 1978 Mini 1000 with it's original low mileage 998 numbers matching engine.
It comes with the original Service 'Passport' and Buff logbook.
It benefits from having the early type 'Split' roof gutters in very good condition.
Positives:
The Floorpans are very solid, the car has clearly been looked after and rust treated in it's life.
The A-Panels and front wings are in very decent condition for it's age [N/S front wing has a small hole]
The Scuttle Panel is also in very good condition, with no visible work needed.
The Boot floor is very good for the age of the car, no visible holes at all.
In General the bodyshell of the car is very solid and original.
The interior is untouched and unmarked, it benefits from having had seat covers from new.
There is a Cassette Radio fitted with one speaker in the Dash which could be removed easily as it is freestanding. [Working]
The original Numbers matching 998 engine starts and runs like a sewing machine.
The clutch and gearbox are free allowing easy and positive gearchange. [So will drive onto a trailer]
Most of the electics work, lights, horn, heater, radio...
Negatives:
The Outer sills and rear valence will require patching or replacement as there are a couple of bits that will require attention.
The Drum brakes will require an overhaul as the car has been stood for so long- They do work however.
The paintwork has the odd little patch of surface rust from standing and has gone a bit dull.
The tyres will probably all require replacing as the car has been stood for so long.
This is a super little car and will make an excellent project for somebody, I have tried to take it on but already have a Mini which takes priority over this one.
It's a very original car which is getting quite rare to find. It's been stood since 1996 so I would imagine all the perishable items will want replacing.
I'm after a cash sale only. Cash on collection.
Viewings Available by appointment.
No Tyre Kickers, I don't mind if I keep the car.

I've priced it on what I think it's worth as I'd like to keep it if I get silly offers... I've already got two other Minis and a Range Rover 2-Door to Restore so I'm offering this for sale before I get a chance to do the work... Otherwise IT will get fixed up and sold on again no doubt.
£1495 GBP ovno.
