THE LISTING

About this vehicle

1961 Austin 7 Mini mark 1 Traveller – NO RESERVE – Zero Road Tax, MOT and ULEZ Exempt, and No vat.

Owned by me for nearly 21 years !

I’ve kept it indoors all that time, taxed it and never used it. I think it’s time somebody did.

14.12.61

848 cc petrol.

49,376 miles, which I believe is probably genuine and it has the original engine.

Only 1 previous keeper!

Grey coachwork (the World’s favourite colour) with the original grey and blue interior. The seats could do with a good clean.

No MOT required.

Free Historic Road Tax.

V5 Registration Document.

Ignition key present.

This a very rare left hand petrol filler model with fitted internal fuel tank.

It has the floor starter button and smooth roof.

It has fitted seatbelts for the front with the original  instruction notices both sides for safe storage (see picture).

All the tyres hold their air and the car rolls fine.

The underside looks to me as though it has never been painted or undersealed.

The floor pans are a bit rusty with some holes at the front edges of the front floor pans.

The panel on the body that the driver’s door hinges fasten to could do with replacing.

The headlining is not quite perfect as it has a hole in it for one of the loudspeakers.

The engine turns but the water pump doesn’t.

It will need a battery, a water pump and a driver’s door handle which seems to have gone missing, but I see that they are readily available on ebay.

Another abandoned restoration found in my barn – sorry. I have loosely reassembled it for photographing.

I’m afraid ill health means I can’t present it up and running the way I would like to, so I’m just going to offer it as it is.

If you don’t like the look of it, please see my other listings as you might like them less.

Please be aware that I am selling this car as a project or for spares.

If you want to criticise it to my face, please arrange a viewing before bidding (not after winning it).

Sorry but there is no Buy it Now price. I am just going to accept whatever it gets.

Payment by cash on collection, cleared cheque before collection or I would prefer a bank transfer (which can be at collection) as I've suffered from so many fake notes floating about.

I need you to make contact with me within 24 hours of the end of the auction, if you win it.

I would like payment within 7 days please and collection within 14 days which can be any day of the week by arrangement. Thank you.

Finally, please remember that everything looks a little bit better in the pictures than in real life.
