We are very pleased to offer a very cool 1974 Morris Mini 850. The full seventies experience is on offer here and the pure Mini driving experience. Finished in Harvest gold with contrasting trim and enhanced with a subtle set of Cooper S reverse rim wheels on wider profile Falken tyres. This is a full matching numbers example and a true survivor Mini managing to somehow never to have been restored and instead has a fantastic natural patina that immediately gets attention wherever I take it. It has all of its original numbers including its commission number, body number, FE number and even the floor pan tag is in place. It also has both of its original metal number plates. It has just had its 52nd Birthday and it is ready for many more.
On the road it drives very well, the 850 engine is smooth and revs freely with a precise gearbox. It is an engaging drive, the Mini is more than happy being pushed through gears and cruises along with modern traffic very well indeed. It feels very taught on the open the road with fantastic handling. This is the original no fuss Mini driving experience that in my opinion offers the most fun, ten inch wheels, no frills just the pleasure of driving.
The interior is a fabulous time warp, it has its original green vinyl seats, original door cards, roof liner and that single centre clock with the original steering wheel. What more do you need?
This Mini has a remarkably solid shell and has been clearly been well cherished, it has its original vented sills and body coloured floor pans. The rear subframe is also in very good condition. The paintwork is aged and in my opinion it needs to be preserved, it is very difficult to create this look, many people try .It is well presented and will make its new owner very proud but its not perfect and it is not pretending to be, that is why I love it so much. It is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
The Mini has been fully serviced, checked, driven and tuned and has a current no advisory MOT until November and is also MOT and Tax exempt.
