1979 AUSTIN MORRIS MINI 850

The vendor has owned this 848cc Mini since March 2023, and since then over £8000 has been spent with two Mini specialists bringing the car up to scratch. This includes five new tyres as well as a Stage 1 tuning kit. The Mini was registered in March 1979 and has six registered keepers on its V5C. The odometer shows 21,800 miles - which is believed genuine judging from the enclosed MoTs - and its last MoT expired in 2019 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 20,809 miles. However, as an historic vehicle, the Mini is now MoT-exempt. It is reported by the vendor to be running well with no known faults, and has been driven regularly. 

Paperwork includes the V5C, various invoices, the original bill of sale for £2282.00, and MoT certificates from 1982. There's also a list of the recent work carried out, costing £8505.90.
