The seller offers for sale a 1983 Austin Mini located in Zevenbergen, the Netherlands. This charming classic has undergone a body-off restoration with a revised engine and renewed mechanical components, all documented with photos. After completion, the car was not driven and stored in a heated private space, keeping it in good condition. The Mini features new paintwork and a refreshed interior that maintains the original style. The manual gearbox shifts smoothly, though it currently requires startup attention due to long-term storage. This example combines the timeless appeal of the Mini with the advantage of recent restoration work, making it a standout in any collection or as a fun driver once recommissioned.
The Austin Mini is one of the most iconic British cars ever built. Introduced in 1959, it became a symbol of compact, efficient design and spirited handling. Its transverse engine layout and front-wheel drive revolutionized small car engineering. The 1983 version retained the classic charm and simplicity that made the Mini beloved by generations. Known for its agile handling and cheerful personality, it delivers a direct, engaging driving experience. Today, the Mini remains highly collectible and admired for its nostalgic value, mechanical simplicity, and unmistakable styling.
