1983 Austin Mini City E (1380cc) Saloon Petrol Manual

Auctioned on Saturday 12th September

£11,000.00 Make Austin Model Mini Year 1983 Transmission Manual Fuel Petrol Engine Size 998 ccm Mileage 1 Miles Emission class This Lot will be sold at auction at Ascot Racecourse; on Saturday 12th September. Uprated engine from 1000cc to 1380cc. Vibrant metallic paint. The 1983 Austin Mini City E is an iconic economy variant of the classic British compact car, featuring a 998cc A-series engine, a four-speed manual gearbox, and efficiency-focused tweaks like higher compression ratios. Today, surviving UK models are tax and MoT exempt historic vehicles.nnOffered from 13 years of loving family ownership, this 1983 Austin Mini City E has been comprehensively transformed from its humble factory roots into a vibrant, high-performance fast-road machine. Originally finished in Russet Brown, the car now wears a striking coat of Sublime Green metallic paint. This is contrasted by a unique, custom rag-roll effect finish applied to both the roof and the matching full roll cage. Exterior modifications deliver a purposeful, competition-inspired look, featuring a quick-release bonnet and a lightweight, single-skin boot lid. The car sits on a sure-footed set of premium Yokohama tyres and is fitted with Cobra bucket seats to the front with the rear seats having been removed.nnUnder the bonnet, the original 998cc engine has been treated to a major upgrade to a now potent 1,380cc specification. This significant displacement increase completely transforms the driving dynamics, delivering a sharp, responsive and exhilarating experience on the road. To safely manage the increased power, the braking system has been upgraded accordingly. Presenting a fantastic opportunity to acquire a highly individual, fast-road Mini with excellent long-term ownership provenance, this head-turning classic is ready to be enjoyed by its next custodian.
