Description

Offered to market here is a striking, standout example of perhaps one of the most iconic cult cars of all time, the classic Mini. A 1981 example finished in a vibrant colourway with tasteful modifications EOW 173W could make a great summer show car or usable classic daily at the hands of a motivated enthusiast.

Cosmetically the car looks quite well. There are a few blemishes and age related marks but we feel it remains a presentable example, boasting aftermarket wheels, arches and colour changing under glow lighting. The interior looks to be in fine form and remains a nice place to be.

Mechanically the little Mini seems fundamentally OK. The previous keeper informs us that a "stage 1" head has been fitted, though we do not have accompanying paperwork for this. We have taken it for a short test drive around our farm and it ran, drove and stopped comfortably, though it should be noted there is a slight misfire at some points in the rev range.
