1972 – Austin Mini 0.85 Saloon 2dr Petrol Manual (34 bhp) – £2750

Step back in time with this charming 1972 Austin Mini 850cc MK2, affectionately known as ‘Blackbird’. Not only is this classic city car a head-turner, but it’s also ULEZ compliant, making it perfect for urban driving. Meticulously restored in 2022 after being dry stored for 15 years, this Mini has been fully serviced with new plugs, leads, battery, fuel lines, brake components, and more, ensuring reliable performance that belies its 50+ years.

While this vintage beauty requires some additional restoration work – including front suspension, bodywork repairs, and some minor mechanical attention – it comes with a treasure trove of extras: two complete sets of wheels (5 x standard 10″ steel and 5 x Dunlop wheels) and the distinctive ‘Magic Wand’ manual gearbox that adds to its quirky charm. Maintained by respected specialists Mac’s Minis and Green & White, this Mini is a rare find for classic car enthusiasts or businesses looking for a unique promotional vehicle. Tax and MOT exempt, it’s ready for its next adventure with a passionate owner who appreciates vintage automotive character.
