The Classic Mini is a beloved car that has become an icon of British automotive history.  Initially launched in 1959, the Mini was designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, who sought to create a small, fuel-efficient, affordable and practical car.  The Mini’s innovative front-wheel-drive layout, compact size, and efficient engine made it an instant success, and it soon became a cultural icon in Britain and around the world.

Despite its small size, the Mini was designed to maximise interior space, with a transverse engine layout allowing more passenger and cargo room. It also featured a suspension system that gave it excellent handling and ride comfort, making it a joy to drive.

Over the years, the Mini was produced in various variants, including the Mini Cooper, designed for racing and featuring a more powerful engine and sportier suspension. The Mini also earned numerous accolades, including “Car of the Century” in 1999.

This show-worthy Mini Clubman is built by British Leyland and still wears its original body from 1972!  The engine was rebuilt in 2018, and it also had a new paint job and its suspension replaced.  The interior was repaired by a high-end leather luggage repairer instead of an easy replacement to preserve its original leather, and the car requires no repairs.
