Austin Mini 1000 — 1976

• Mechanical condition

  The car starts easily, and once it warms up, it runs flawlessly. During a test drive, one can certainly appreciate the delightful go-kart feeling. All functions work well, although there may be some slipping in the clutch. The undercarriage has not been inspected on a lift but appears to be in good condition, with no comments from the last inspection. The engine compartment is in decent condition but could be cleaned up.

• Interior condition

  The interior is in its original condition. Instruments and panels are also in good condition, and everything appears to work as it should. The headliner is in excellent condition, as are the seats and rear seat. There have been seat covers in the past. The fabric mats are worn and discolored, but the sound insulation and sheet metal underneath are unusually well-preserved. The trunk is in decent condition, but the battery cover is worn. Otherwise, it is well-preserved, and the spare wheel is in good condition.

• Exterior condition

  Repainted, a bit uncertain if it's the whole car or parts of it. The roof has some filler nodules. Otherwise, there are signs of wear and tear. Some bubbling at the bottom near the door/sill on the driver's side. There are damages at the rear on the same side on the sheet metal and bumper. The wheels have surface rust, tires are okay. Otherwise, the glass, chrome, and rubber are in good condition. The plastic chrome along the wheel arches and lower edges is weathered and yellowed.

• General condition

  Here, you can drive as it is or customize to your liking. Regardless of what the next owner wants and does, you get an icon in a relatively untouched 70s costume. A delightful classic and a nice little car to enjoy.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
