Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This 1980 Austin-Morris Mini 850 Super is a great example of a British icon, presented in Maroon over a sleek Black interior. Having been under the current ownership for the past 7 years, this Mini has been well cared for and cherished judging by the history file. Maintenance & History: The vehicle comes with an impressive folder of documentation, showcasing its history. This includes MOT certificates, a 2018 insurance valuation letter placing an agreed value of £8,000, and invoices for parts, work, and labour amounting to over £3,000. This example has been owned by The Vendor for the past 7 years and just 4 former keepers are recorded on the V5C. The Model: This is Mini 850 Super, part of the Mini legacy designed by Alec Issigonis, one of the most iconic British cars ever produced. Around 5.3 million Minis were built by the time production ceased in 2000. The 850 model name refers to the 850cc engine, and the Super was one of six models available in the UK in the late 70s, later reduced to just three by October 1980. This model also features the rubber cone suspension introduced after 1964, replacing the earlier hydrolastic system used in the Mini saloons. As of 1980, all 850 models were discontinued, marking the end of an era for these smaller-engined Minis. Sale Insight: Unfotunatley The Vendor now has to sell this little Mini in order to fund her university course and therefore is hoping to get as much for the car as possible. This particular Mini 850 Super offers a fantastic opportunity for prospective buyers to get their hands on an example with a comprehensive history and limited ownership. |
