About this car

An early Mk1 Austin Mini from 1963, finished in Almond Green and powered by its original 848cc engine. Early cars like this are the purest form of Alec Issigonis's design, and this one has been restored with attention to factory specification.

The restoration was carried out back to bare metal. The engine has been mechanically refreshed, the suspension reconditioned and the original interior kept and refurbished rather than replaced.

It comes with a history file containing restoration invoices and a Heritage Certificate. It has just been serviced and has 12 months' MOT, although a test is no longer legally required for a car of this age. No mileage is stated on the page.

Performance

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (BMC engine data (848cc A-series, transverse, FWD); power left null because sources disagree (34 vs 37 bhp); weight and performance figures widely quoted come from period road tests, not confirmed BMC data, so null.).

Engine: 848 cc, 4 cylinders
Engine position: Front-engined
Induction: Naturally aspirated
