1977 – Leyland Mini – £26995

Discover a piece of automotive history with this meticulously restored 1977 Leyland Mini Van, a true classic that combines vintage charm with modern performance. Rescued from a scrapyard in 2019 by a passionate Mini Cooper racing specialist, this extraordinary vehicle has been transformed into a stunning homage to its original design while boasting remarkable upgrades. Sprayed in iconic Cooper colours of tweed grey with an old English white roof, the body has been completely restored, with every rotten area carefully replaced and treated to ensure pristine condition.

ULEZ compliant and ready to turn heads, this Mini is a testament to craftsmanship and automotive passion. The heart of this little gem is an original Cooper block enlarged to 1028cc, professionally tuned by Swiftune to produce 71hp, paired with a close-ratio straight-cut gearbox. The interior blends period-correct details like the MK1 centre binnacle dash and Smiths heater with comfortable Cobra classic race seats, while 10-inch Minilite wheels with 60th anniversary centre caps and racing Dunlop SP sport tyres complete the package. With meticulous attention to detail, from the fabric-wrapped wiring loom to the 7″ Mini Cooper S disc brakes, this unique vehicle represents the perfect blend of classic style and high-performance engineering.
