1984 Austin Mini (A Classic to Driven and Admired)
I’ve decided to place my mini on the market (although part of me definitely wants to keep it) for another Mini enthusiast to enjoy. After spending four great years with it, one of which, I directed its full restoration by a Mini specialist in England; I find myself neglecting it since I am focused on a bachelor’s degree at the moment. I brought it over to the States from the UK after concluding my military service. I want its next owner to enjoy it’s fun and elegant simplicity.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the car you see on this page has followed a template I’ve created known as ‘neo-vintage’. This concept maintains the core, traditional features of its timeless design along with contemporary enhancements to make it road-worthy and comfortable to ride in. This mini has the flash of the classic/collector’s car with the eagerness to be driven like it’s fresh off the lot.
