Introduction
Glyn Parry
The motoring legend that needs no introduction - there's a lot to like about this restomod finished in a period colour and tastefully modified to look and feel like an authentic Austin Mini.
As everyone knows, the Mini is a car that was built for the public, a car that is extremely versatile and practical for day-to-day motoring while simultaneously being able to deliver a fun and engaging drive with its go-kart-like handling. From day one the Mini was a huge success, with 5.4 million Minis sold over its 41 years of production life, and it still remains the best-selling British car of all time.
This Rover Mini City was originally manufactured in 1992 making it a later Mark VI, with internal bonnet release and mechanical tweaks over its predecessor. However, this example has been restored in the fashion of its older sibling - making it a closer match to the first generation Austin Mini. The list of work is extensive, having had the bodywork fettled top to bottom along with full internal and external respray in what looks to be the period colour of "Clipper Blue", a genuine Austin tailgate with hinged number plate panel fitted, reconditioned gearbox and a better differential ratio for modern traffic, age appropriate seats, dashboard, and a reproduction speedometer that works via satellite, all coming together to transform this 1992 car into a real look back at the car that started it all - the Austin Mini. It comes to market from over ~20 year ownership, and the restoration of this car was completed some ~2 years ago, some more recent work completed in 2022 too.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Peter the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
