The seller offers for sale this 1986 Austin Rover Mini Mayfair 1000, a characterful British compact car presented in attractive condition.

The current documented mileage is 39.000 km and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The Austin Rover Mini Mayfair 1000 represents one of the most recognisable small cars ever produced. During the 1980s, the Mayfair version offered a more refined trim level within the classic Mini range, combining compact dimensions with comfort and distinctive British style.

Decades after its introduction, the classic Mini remains popular among enthusiasts thanks to its timeless design, agile handling and strong cultural heritage.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description.
