1988 Austin Mini Mary Quant - Bicester Sports Cars

"CLASSIC OF THE DAY"

 

For todays' classic we make our first ever visit to Bicester Sports & Classics and we have chosen a Iconic British car in the shape of te Mini. 

  

1988 Austin Mini Mary Quant

Following a long illustrious production run the Mini designers started to stimulate the last few years of its life by developing Special Editions.

Mary Quant was commissioned to design the interior of this one and only 2000 chassis were allocated to the series.

The details are great with Quant logos and designs everywhere from the steering wheel to the plastic mac provided in the boot.

With only two owners from new this example is in perfect condition having been in a Uk car collection for many years .

I have covered around 120 miles in her and what a sweet easy going car she is with a very willing 1 litre engine and easy to use gearbox this is a car that should appeal to many and providing a great investment opportunity in the future.
