1964 Austin Mini Countryman. 1300cc. British Racing Green metallic with barley leather upholstery. First registered on the 10th of November 1964, this lovely Mini has been with the last owner since it was restored and re-engineered 20 years ago. As a child of the sixties, he commissioned the project as a reward for his homecoming after a dozen years spent working abroad. Fitted with a Metro 1300cc engine for improved performance it has been well serviced over the years, starts on the button, and runs very well indeed. Having just two previous keepers from new it is now ready to be enjoyed in new hands. The panel fit is excellent, the shutlines are consistent, the wood frame on the cars body is very strong, and the wheel arch extensions house a set of Minilite-style alloy wheels. The overall effect is a charming blend of the old and the new, with the car’s wonderfully retro wooden framing acting as a foil to the metallic paintwork and modern wheels. The aesthetic amalgam is replicated in every aspect of the car’s development, from the interior to the engineering; it really is a classic made fit for current day motoring. The retrimmed interior is just as cool as the exterior – and all the better for being so. The seats are far more comfortable and well-padded that the ones it left the factory with. Safer too, thanks to their headrests. Finished in barley leather, the upper and lower dashboards have been finished in matching leather, as have the door cards. The dashboard also sports a wood veneer which coordinates with the instrument binnacle, steering wheel, and gear knob. There are ivory faced instruments too, and the overall effect is very ‘Wood & Pickett’ and charming. Its in great shape with excellent carpets and a taut, clean headlining and a well-carpeted boot. Extra soundproofing too, plus a spare steel wheel under the boot floor, other upgrades include Pioneer speakers in the door and dashboard, plus a high-power JVC radio/CD player. The engine is mated to a Mini Cooper gearbox and while the speedometer reads 6,800 miles, this is only the mileage it has accrued since the restoration. Also present with the car is a very comprehensive history file containing a large amount of service and maintenance bills and invoices as well as old mot’s. Although now tax and mot exempt a fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. The icing on the cake is the private registration number that adorns the car and is fully transferable if required and has a value of £1500 on its own. Absolutely any inspection is welcome.
