A rare 1275GT Mini...
Of all the Mini variants manufactured, this must be one of the rarest on the roads today. The current vendor has owned this car for a year, and in that time has improved it considerably with a number of upgrades and finished his efforts off with a fresh coat of paint. The car has been well maintained over its life and has clearly had regular maintenance and minor repairs when necessary. It comes with a good history file and details of the car's full specification can be viewed at the sale.
Classic Car Auctions says:
A rare classic 'Paul Smith' limited edition Rover Mini showing just 62,000 miles. This desirable, original UK supplied car is believed to be one of only 300 built by Rover for the UK market and is based on the Mini Sprite with the 1275cc engine fitted.
We are told this car has travelled very few miles since a respray in the correct shade of Paul Smith Blue late last summer, and naturally the bodywork was fully prepared prior to painting. Two brand new Falcon tyres on the front have been fitted and a fresh MoT certificate will be issued before the Auction with a March 2017 expiry.
Owned by the vendor, a Mini enthusiast, for the last five years, this attractive Mini is said to drive and run as it should. The standard Rover multi-point fuel injection makes this an easy and reliable entry into classic Mini ownership, with the 1275 cc engine easily keeping up with modern traffic. The Paul Smith refinements include unique Paul Smith Blue paintwork, black leather interior, magnolia dials, black and silver rose petal alloys, lime green details in the interior, boot and engine bay and the gold Paul Smith bonnet badge.
A sound, clean and tidy 'limited edition' Mini in an amazing colour.

A dazzling Mini Cooper with the desirable Chilli Pack and Panoramic roof.
This 2003 Mini Cooper 1.6 five-speed manual three-door hatchback was first registered in October 2003 and is showing 87,000 miles. Specification includes electric windows and air conditioning. Presented to Auction with a valid MoT until January 2017, this super little car really looks the part with its great colour scheme, big wheels and registration number T300DMX, offered with no reserve...sounds tempting?
Classic Car Auctions says:
A wonderfully restored 1968 Morris Mini Moke showing 37,857 miles. The first Mokes were built at BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant. They gained notoriety in the TV show 'The Prisoner' and were often a lifestyle choice in a host of period TV programmes shows and films since. It seems every James Bond film had a jumpsuited baddie behind the wheel, and Roger Moore famously drove one in 'Live and Let Die'.
This impressive 1968, original UK supplied Moke (chassis number MAB1118629A) was first registered in November of that year, and has previously benefitted from a full body-off and engine out restoration of which there is a photographic record present. Supplied with a fresh MoT certificate valid until February 2017, this little eye catching swinging sixties number is ready for its next owner, and would not look out of place today at any beach, or Chelsea wine bar for that matter.
Classic Car Auctions says:
1975 Mini Cooper Innocenti 1380cc. Fitted with chrome trimmed quarter lights, windows, doors and boot. Originally built in Belgium (under licence) in 1975 and subsequently imported into the UK in 1983 and converted to right-hand drive. It is believed the car was totally rebuilt in 1983 by Downton Engineering, although this is unsupported by any factual evidence as no paperwork is present. The engine was uprated at this time to 1380cc. The car is now showing approximately 13,950 kms, however, we understand that there is a likelihood that the odometer may have been zeroed or the speedometer changed to suit the revised gearing at the time of the rebuild. This little Mini has been sitting for the last fifteen to twenty years in Portugal and has recently returned to the UK. This car will be supplied on a NOVA with a fresh UK MoT certificate, and is currently Portuguese registered.
Classic Car Auctions says:
Everyone loves a Mini ... This cracking little 1989 Mini City 1000 was restored approximately 7/8 years ago and still looks in fine fettle today. The car sits well on its Ultralite alloy wheels, looks great in Grey with its Black Roof and black wheel arch extensions and is said to drive very well for its age. For sale on a No Reserve basis, this could be a real really good buy for someone and would be a great entry level classic car that could even be a daily driver?
