Lot Ended
Description
Punchy looking example with roll cage, bucket seats; fruity exhaust
and peppy 1275cc engine - lots to like
Dating
from August 1988, this Mini Mayfair hails from the end of the Austin era and has
seen various enhancements including fitment of a set of deep dish 13”
Minilite-style ‘Formula’ alloy wheels finished in gunmetal, a black roof and
fruity centrally located exhaust.
Under the
bonnet we find the familiar 1275cc inline four-cylinder engine driving the front
wheels via four-speed manual transmission.
The engine looks like it may have seen some work by Airey Tuning, judging
by the sticker on the rocker cover.
Inside, we
see fitment of a pair of bucket seats, half cage, checker plating to the doors,
drilled door handles and window winders, alloy gear knob and Mountney
steering wheel to complete the sporty look.
The car shows 51,342 miles and presents well, clearly having been
the subject of much love, attention and money by our vendor who has enjoyed the
car for the last six years.
The history file
includes the V5C recording five former keepers, five old MOTs, the current valid
until October 2024 which recorded six minor advisories (enter the reg at
check-mot.service.gov.uk) plus a selection of bills for works
undertaken.
Invoices of note include a £1,370
spend in 2014 on fitment of electronic ignition, new dizzy cap and HT leads, a
lube service, fitment of standard seat belts and fitment of a new clutch and
slave cylinder.
Also in the file is the owner's manual,
Cobra alarm/immobiliser booklet, a dyno print-out dated June 2016 which showed
the car produced 77.3Hp (engine) and 75lb ft of torque and another in 2018 plus
a bill for a new carpet set in October 2022.
The vendor tells us the Mini’s engine was tuned with hill climbs in
mind but this dream didn’t happen and it has been kept in a dry garage and only
lightly used in fine weather to attend the odd local
show.
Ready to be enjoyed, there looks to be a
lot of potential for fast fun here.
