Step back in time with this extraordinary 1968 Austin Mini Cooper MK2, a true automotive gem with an incredible pedigree and just 7,000 miles on the clock. Originally owned by famous rally driver Richard “Dickie” Mayo, this classic has been meticulously preserved and restored, making it not only a collector’s dream but also a ULEZ-compliant vehicle perfect for modern urban driving.
