1964 Austin Mini Coutryman

This 1964 Austin Mini Countryman stands out immediately for the quality of its restoration. Subject to a full body-off, nut-and-bolt rebuild completed in 2016 by Midnight Classic Minis in Lincoln, it has been returned to its original specification using as many factory components as possible. The work was carried out to an award-winning standard, right down to a reconditioned steering wheel, with the underside presenting in near-as-new condition — clean, rust-free, and equipped with a stainless-steel exhaust. A detailed photographic record charts the restoration from start to finish, providing excellent provenance for collectors and purists alike. Finished in Almond Green with immaculate timberwork, the car looks every inch the period piece it is meant to be. The body, doors, floors, front subframe and steering components remain original to the car, with only the front wings having been replaced during the restoration. The original 848cc engine and gearbox have been refurbished, ensuring it drives just as crisply as it presents. Sympathetically, the only notable deviation from factory spec is a discreet 12v power outlet fitted under the dashboard, allowing modern conveniences such as phone charging or sat-nav use — a thoughtful touch for touring.
