1959 – Austin Seven Mini 0.9 – £16500

This remarkable 1959 Austin Seven is a piece of motorsport history, meticulously restored to its original rally specification and now fully ULEZ compliant. Originally registered in Birmingham with the intriguing number 7 AOG, this mini shares a registration prefix with three works rally cars that competed internationally between 1959 and 1961, including a class-winning vehicle in the 1960 Geneva rally. The current owner has lovingly rebuilt the car to authentic 1959 specifications, featuring a lightly modified 998cc engine with balanced components, early Downton manifolds, and twin SU carburetors, producing approximately 60 BHP.

The car boasts an impressive array of period-correct modifications, including a works-style roll-cage, fiberglass boot and bonnet, perspex windows, adjustable suspension, and a Brantz rally trip-meter. Having participated in multiple rallies, including a three-day Welsh event and several HERO one-day challenges, this classic mini represents a true enthusiast’s dream. Despite the owner’s retirement from competitive driving, the vehicle remains in excellent condition and ready for its next adventure, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive racing heritage that combines vintage charm with modern urban practicality.
