1969 – Austin Mini 1.0 – £22000
# Austin Mini MK2 1000 – Island Blue Classic
This stunning 1969 Austin Mini MK2 in heritage Island Blue represents one of the world’s most iconic small cars in truly exceptional condition. Painstakingly restored to concours standard over five years and completed in 2008, this little beauty has earned its place in automotive history, winning the prestigious concours award at the British Mini Day at Himley Hall in 2009. The restoration has been extensively documented in publications celebrating both its flawless condition and authentic 1969 heritage, and you’ll receive a comprehensive hardback book detailing the car’s complete conversion and history.
Thanks to careful climate-controlled storage and measured use, this 56-year-old Mini remains in stunning condition with remarkably low mileage for its age. While a few minor imperfections mean it’s no longer quite concours-ready, it could easily be returned to that pristine standard with minimal effort. Best of all, this beloved classic is fully ULEZ compliant, making it a practical investment you can actually drive and enjoy in London and other major cities without restrictions. At £22,000, it represents a sound investment in the world’s most cherished small car.
