This Australian-built Mini Clubman van is described by the vendor as “very well known in Mini circles” and “beautifully restored and ready to go. This is one of the best and rarest Minis for sale in the UK." It was recently offered as a competition prize but the winner decided to take the cash alternative instead. The odometer shows c.62k.

The Mini was first registered in the UK in 2016, and the V5C indicates only 1 registered keeper since then. It comes with an excellent collection of invoices, including some for its 5-figure restoration at The East Anglian Mini Centre in 2017. The engine has been upgraded to 1098cc (with Australian motif on its rocker cover), although the V5C still says 848cc. The file also includes a CD of photos, and a 6-page feature devoted to this car in MiniWorld magazine.
