We are very pleased to offer a real slice of the seventies with a stunning 1974 Austin Mini 1000 Mk3. Finished in gleaming Flame red with a sexy set of Minilite wheels. Genuine MK3 Minis are very rare and sought after, they offer all the Classic Mini charm with ten inch wheels and the three clock binnacle and are also very easy to own and use on a daily basis. This example has its original engine, body number and commission number so has all the correct features. It has covered 49k with only 7 previous owners in 52 years. It has benefitted from much recent expenditure and is presented in ready to drive and enjoy condition.
On the road this Mini drives very well indeed. The 998 engine holds strong oil pressure and performs well, it has a stage one kit with an RC40 exhaust so it has a subtle burble. It easily keeps up with modern traffic with performance that will really surprise its lucky new owner and thanks to four new tyres it handles beautifully. The ten inch wheel ride is very smooth and accurate and out on the open road you can really find out just how well these amazing cars handle and this on is no exception. It has recently had been thoroughly prepared with a long list of new parts. It has had a full engine bay detail and a replacement mounts, bushes and hoses. It has also had a new clutch, timing chain, electronic ignition to name but a few. All of this future proofing is detailed in the service history, making this a very much turn key and enjoy Mini.

The interior is very well presented and benefits from a recent retrim whilst still looking original. The seats and roof liner have been replaced as well as a brand new set of door cards. The all important three clock binnacle is present and correct and its correct MK3 switch panel with manual screen wash pump. This is all complimented by a beautiful Astrali wood rim steering wheel.
This Mini has a super solid bodyshell with body coloured floors pans, solid sills and boot floor. The engine bay is a delight and nicely detailed as is inside the boot. It also benefits from a recent rear subframe. The paintwork gleams and is in fantastic condition that belies its vintage. Whoever drives this Mini will instantly appreciate how nice it is and will enjoy it as much as I have.
