1979 Austin Mini Special in Silver: A Classic Reborn with Modern Touches

A True Collectible: This 1979 V reg Austin Mini Special, one of only 2600 produced in silver, is a remarkable find. It's a celebration of the Mini's 20th anniversary, a vehicle that encapsulates the essence of British motoring history with a mere 59,074 miles on the clock.

Authentic Restoration: The Mini has undergone a comprehensive restoration to ensure its condition is in line with its original glory. Flaunting a striking silver exterior with a classic black vinyl roof, it has been meticulously maintained, right down to the light blue and grey tartan check upholstery that adorns the seats.

Detailed Craftsmanship: Inside, the car features a 3 clock GT Type dashboard, a two-spoke sports steering wheel, and a unique centre console—a rarity in Minis. The dashboard is outfitted with a clock, cigar lighter, and radio, offering a luxury experience uncommon in such a compact car.

Performance and Handling: Equipped with an uprated 1100cc engine, this Mini Special offers a spirited and nippy driving experience. The 10-inch Exacton alloy wheels, Clubman bumpers, and wheel arch extensions not only enhance the car's aesthetics but also its road presence and performance. The new Dunlop SP Sport tires ensure a smooth and responsive ride.

Thoroughly Checked and Improved: A minor restoration in 2018 has left this Mini with even and shiny paintwork. Further investments have been made to overhaul the gearbox, engine, steering rack, and brakes, amounting to over £2,000, ensuring that the Mini drives as well as it looks.

Historic and Exempt: The Mini is correctly registered as a Historic vehicle, enjoying tax and MOT exemption due to its age. However, it comes with an MOT valid through to July 2024 and a comprehensive service history, including previous MOT certificates to verify the mileage.
