THIS IS MY 1960 AUSTIN SEVEN WHICH I HAVE OWNED FOR SEVEN YEARS IN WHICH TIME IT HAS HAD A NO EXPENSE SPARED RESTORATION. IT IS 50 YEARS OLD MAKING IT ONE OF THE OLDEST SEVENS AND ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING FEW.

THIS MINI WAS A FEATURE CAR IN AUGUST 2009 MINIWORLD, IT WON A PLACE ON THE MINIWORLD STAND AT THE LONDON TO BRIGHTON AND STANFORD HALL 50TH BIRTHDAY SHOWS THIS YEAR. THIS PROVES HOW SPECIAL THIS MINI IS!!

AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OR MY CASE POUNDS HAS GONE INTO THIS MINI, EVERYTHING IS EITHER NEW OR RESTORED WITH A DETAILED FOLDER OF ALL BILLS AND RECEIPTS, I COULD GO ON AND ON LISTING EVERY SINGLE ITEM BUT THERE IS NO NEED DUE TO IT BEING A FEATURE MINI IN THE 50TH BIRTHDAY YEAR, IT WAS CHOSEN ON MERIT!!

OWNING THIS MINI GETS YOU RECOGNISED EVERY ROAD YOU DRIVE DOWN SO IF YOU WANT A QUIET LIFE IT'S NOT FOR YOU. IF ON THE OTHER HAND YOU ENJOY THE ATTENTION AND YOU HAVE TIME TO TALK TO PEOPLE THEN BID AWAY, IT REALLY IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT, YOU WILL GET NOTICED AND THIS MINI GETS MORE ATTENTION THAN FERRARI'S ETC.

IT IS A DREAM TO DRIVE, JUST LIKE BEING BACK IN THE 60'S, IT HANDLES LIKE ITS ON RAILS, THE ENGINE IS REALLY SMOOTH AND NICE. IT ALSO HAS A MODERN ELECTRONIC IGINITION MODULE ON THE DISTRIBUTOR FOR LONG TROUBLE FREE RUNNING, THE OLD SYSTEM WAS THE BIGGEST DOWN FALL OF THESE CLASSIC MINI'S!

IT IS A 998CC, TUNED TO STAGE ONE WHICH IS JUST RIGHT FOR PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMY, THE SUSPENSION IS ADJUSTABLE RIDE HEIGHT, THE EXHAUST IS MANIFLOW, TYRES ARE YOKOHAMA, CARPETS ARE NEW GENUINE WILTON FROM NEWTON COMMERCIAL, SEATS ARE ORIGINAL 60'S CORBEAU LOW BACKS. THE LIST IS ENDLESS.

SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE, THIS IS A GENUINE SALE FOR A ONE OFF 50 YEAR OLD MINI, THESE OPPORTUNITIES DO NOT COME AROUND EVERYDAY. REMEMBER THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN A SHOW WINNING 50 YEAR OLD MINI.

YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT NIGEL.ORTON@NTLWORLD.COM OR MY PHONE NUMBER ON REQUEST.

THE MINI IS READY TO BE SHIPPED FROM THE UK TO USA EAST OR WEST COAST PORTS THE COST OF THIS CAN BE DISCUSSED, IT IS AROUND $1500 - $2000 DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE
