1978 AUSTIN MINI 

The vendor acquired this Mini in 2007, by which point it had already been deseamed, had extended arches and had a roof-chop. It was then restored on a rolling basis between 2007 and 2015. Over recent times though, it has mainly been stored at a garage, albeit occasionally started. The 998cc car, which started life as an 848cc variant, was declared manufactured in 1978, but only registered in the UK in April 1982. The odometer shows 39,152 miles. There is no current MoT and no record of one back to 2005, when online records began. The vendor suggests that the interior could do with updating. The only paperwork accompanying the Mini is the V5C.
