Seller's Notes

This Morris Mini Deluxe is a characterful classic city car, which has been resprayed, retrimmed, and fitted with several replacement components as part of a restoration. It is powered by a 998cc inline-four, delivering around 30kW to the front wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates just 24,399 kilometres, which is believed to be correct, though cannot be warranted. The Morris Mini Deluxe was introduced as a locally built example for the Australian market and featured updated doors with conventional handles and winding windows, opening front quarterlights, hydrolastic suspension, a key-operated starter, and a larger 998cc A-Series engine. This example is finished in red with a white roof and bonnet stripes, complemented by chrome bumpers, wing mirrors, and grille. The cabin is trimmed in black vinyl, punctuated by body-coloured dashboard accents. It rides on a set of gold 10-inch ‘Contessa’ wheels with ‘Cheviot’ centre caps and Nankang tyres. Equipment includes clear front indicators, a wooden-rimmed steering wheel, and pop-out rear windows. Accompanying the sale is the spare wheel and a wheel brace. Restoration details: Repainted Retrimmed Recently serviced Compression-tested (passed) New parts fitted: Bump stops Ball joints Thermostat Tie rods CV boots Front suspension and shock absorbers Knuckle joints Boot suspension kit Exhaust Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: minor marks on the bonnet. There is a conditional NSW registration in place, which expires on 3 March 2025. The car was last serviced in May 2024 by Fine Tune Auto, who tuned the carburettor and replaced the engine oil, oil filter, spark plugs, points, and breather tube. This Morris Mini Deluxe is an appealing classic city car, which has been resprayed and retrimmed as part of its restoration. Having covered just 24,399 kilometres from new, it would make a fitting addition to any collection, a delightful weekend cruising companion for any classic car enthusiast, and a welcome entrant at any car show or event. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
