MINI British Open (limited edition) - SOLD
We are thrilled to offer for sale this rare Rover Mini "British Open Classic" in original specification and in sparkling condition. This car has been maintained fastidiously over the last 26 years and as a result, not only does it still look superb, but it drives and handles just as only a Classic Mini can - brilliantly! The 1275 A series engine and crisp 4 speed gearbox delivers all the power, torque and performance you need to provide a fun drive, where ever this exciting little gem might take you. The interior is one of the best appointed limited edition cars with smart wooden dash, thicker steering wheel and part leather reclining seats with head rests. This particular car is also fitted with a quality, electric sliding full sunroof which is a joy to use when the sun is shining! A truly delightful car in amazing condition.
Bodywork
In sound condition all round. In recent years the car has benefited from partial restoration with some panels plus rear sub-frame replaced. The body has been under-sealed for maximum protection and as far as we can see, it is rust free.
Mechanical
In tip top mechanical condition this car has an excellent maintenance record and with under 76,000 miles from new, it starts and drives smoothly and with sharp handling.
Exterior
The British racing green paint is in smart bright condition with just a few minor blemishes. The chrome remains clean and smart and the 12" Minilite - type alloy wheels are in great condition. A high quality, exhaust system has been recently fitted and provides that rewarding, performance Mini sound out on the road.
Interior
New factory spec carpets have been fitted and whilst the seats are not in factory fresh condition, the half leather / tweed is in good clean condition, as are the panels and wood dash.
Apart from our accurate and reliable description of this car we believe you will not find a better bunch of chaps to deal with; we know our MGs inside out, we won’t flannel you with sales speak and we aim to provide you with a car that you will be bringing back in a year’s time when the next service and MOT is due, no sooner! However, if you do have a problem we will stand by our car and help you in every way possible. We like to think that 38 years in this business counts for something.
We are in the quiet Berkshire countryside but close to the M4 and Mortimer Railway Station. Our local pub, the Elm Tree is just a few minutes’ walk away and serves fantastic food and proper beers. Call us to arrange a viewing and a test-drive and come and make a day of it.
