The Big End of Year Auction at Bolesworth Castle, Cheshire

 
Lot 4
 

1986 Mini Mayfair
Smartly presented example with tasteful interior upgrades

Registration – D94 ABY

Chassis No. – SAXXL2S1N20312507

M.O.T. – March 2026

Odometer – 49,876

The vendor informs us that this charming example presents very smartly, having undergone restoration to a seemingly high standard, finished in an eye-catching blue with white roof and bonnet stripes. The bodywork appears tidy, with clean panels, good shut lines and bright chromework complementing the look. It sits well on its Minilite-style alloy wheels, giving it the characteristic stance so closely associated with the model.

The interior shows extremely well for its age, fitted with a wood-rim Moto-Lita steering wheel and a classic burr walnut dashboard. The seats and carpets present cleanly, and the cabin has an appealing, subtly upgraded feel while retaining the essential character of the period. The odometer displays 49,876 miles, and the vendor advises that the car starts readily and drives well, with an MOT valid through to March 2026.

Introduced as part of the mid-1980s range, the Mayfair offered a more refined interpretation of the Mini formula, combining the car’s trademark agility with improved comfort and more luxurious interior finishes. Today, these examples are favoured for their usability and charm, with tastefully presented cars such as this remaining highly desirable.

  • Finished in an attractive restored blue-and-white colour scheme

  • Showing 49,876 miles with MOT valid until March 2026

  • Offered without reserve
