Introduction
Stuart McIntyre
One of the Best British cars of all time, the Austin Mini! This time - fun, quirky and practical.
No car has united drivers more than the classic Austin Mini, from students to pop stars, the Mini has never had a barrier to ownership making it such an iconic legend and that's why we love to see them in excellent condition like this today.
The Mini was a lesson in creating an innovative, affordable car with a focus on fun and usability. The Clubman amplifies that usability with much larger loading space.
This particular Mini Clubman has been owned and meticulously kept by James for the previous 11 years, after a lot of thought, he has made the difficult decision to sell.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Stuart after meeting James the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi there
Has the car been resprayed, and if so when please?
Regards
Paul
Hello Paul,
The car has never been damaged or resprayed and still wears the same factory colour paint inside and out with only a couple of minor surface blemishes, [ noted in the description ]. The paintwork still has a remarkable shine for a 40 year old car, one of BL’s better ones! The photos are a good representation of the paints condition and there is no evidence of any paint bubbling or corrosion anywhere which is a testament to the wax injection and bodywork rust protection which would appear to be from new. The wax was renewed this year using Dynax S50 using the original plugged injection points.
The only area to receive attention to the paintwork and done last year was the front lower panel below the grille and number plate which had some stone chip marks and I decided to key them all back to a uniform smooth surface and repaint the whole panel from left lower wing seam to right lower wing seam. There was no metal corrosion or perforation along it’s length or at the seams so no filler used and it was given three coats of BLMC Emberglow Red 368 [ mixed by Bull Motif Mini Spares] which is the correct 1981 paint used by BL.
I hope this is helpful to you and thank you for your interest.
Regards
James
Dear James.
Am I right to assume that the Mini does NOT need an MoT any more, nor pay for RFL?
Thanks.

Hello Allan,
Thank you for your interest in the Mini.
The first registration date is December 1981.
His final MOT is due in August 2021 along with the final RFT. A previous owner prior to 2008 must have delayed the tax and MOT for six months at some point which is why the MOT and RFT dates don’t fall in December.
A new owner should be able to get a refund on the remaining tax from August to December but I doubt if there would be a refund for the August MOT. At least any new owner would have the peace of mind of a final MOT certificate.
Best wishes
James
What is the least you are going to accept for this vehicle?
Hello Stefan,
Thank you for your interest which is appreciated, however, since this is a live auction with an undisclosed reserve price it wouldn’t be appropriate or fair for me to signify a minimum price.
I hope you can appreciate my position but I would ask you please to have a good look at the listing and details and come to fair estimate of the car’s condition and the significant work done to keep the car up to the standard it is in today. It’s very much a matter of what you would assess it’s value to be in the current market and what you would be prepared to bid for it.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me and please feel free to ask any other questions related to the work done in my ownership .
