    FS: 1969 Austin Mini 1000 (Mk II)

    As much as it pains me, we need to part ways with our beloved Olive. She's a 1969 Austin Mini 1000.

    Here are the specs:
    Color: Sandy Beige / White top
    Interior: Tartan red interior with a wood dash and steering wheel
    Mileage: 38,476
    RIGHT HAND DRIVE

    Paint condition: 9/10
    Interior condition: 10/10 (seriously, it's perfect)
    Body condition: 9/10

    She runs perfectly and I've got service records for years and years and years. I don't know exactly how far back they go but it's a hefty folder full. I just recently replaced the alternator, starter solenoid, water pump and completely restored the front drum brakes.

    The only imperfections in the body are minor. There are a couple of rust spots painted over and holes near the fenders where the previous owner had installed some awful plastic fender flares. I had originally planned to have them filled and painted over, but the next owner may very well want fender flares, so they'd be covered up anyway.


    Asking $12,000 OBO. I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

    Interior:

            why in the world would you even think about selling that?!?! please please please don't. its been my example of how clean i want mine to be.... mine is almost exactly same color combo etc... I'm sure you won't have a problem selling it at all though....

            (btw, where did you find that dash? I've been looking for a clean replacement for mine, and i have the exact same one with center gauges and "glove box's" on sides...)

              Money is tight right now and I need a practical daily driver. I just can't afford to keep a classic car. I'm still young, there's plenty of time to get another classic car down the road when I'm in a better place financially.

                Dont do it! Non op it, park it like you never had it. Work harder.

                        If there's one thing that I've learned about these cars, it's that women cannot resist them.
