Description
1976 Mini 1,275cc Pickup
Registration no. UNP 589R
Chassis no. XKUI-310169A
Engine no. 76554
Footnotes:
Following the Mini saloon's introduction in August 1959, the van version of BMC's revolutionary small car arrived in January 1960, followed by the pickup in 1961. Built on a longer wheelbase than the saloon, the commercial Mini's front-wheel drive and compact independent rear suspension enabled it to match many more-expensive medium-sized vans for interior space. Identical - apart from the badging - Austin and Morris versions were built for the first nine years, the models being known subsequently as the Mini Van and Mini Pick-up.
Benefiting from thousands of pounds spent, this Mini Pickup was treated to a 'last nut and bolt' professional refurbishment by the preceding owner's respected restoration company specialising in Aston Martins. All panels used were new Heritage items, and the paintwork is said to be 'better than factory' quality. The current vendor purchased the Mini at Bonhams' MPH sale in December 2020. We are advised the vehicle starts and drives very well, and with a tuned 1,275cc engine is certainly nippy!
