February 2022 Classics Auction
1989 Austin Mini City E
Registration - G25 0GX
Chassis No. - SAXXL2S1020434458
M.O.T. - August 2022
Odometer - 33,105
‘G25 0GX’ cuts quite a dash with its cream bodywork complemented by a Union Jack roof and red-piped black leather trim. The notably low recorded mileage of 33,105 is believed to be correct and this automatic transmission example has in fact been stored in a heated environment for the last few years. The vendor informs us that the car has remained free of pet hair and tobacco smoke and has a ‘very good’ MOT history. He presently classes the engine as ‘excellent’ and the gearbox, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim as ‘good’. The car is bristling with aftermarket accessories, including: Minilite-style alloy wheels, stainless steel wheelarch trims, performance exhaust, auxiliary driving lights, sports fuel filler cap, alloy engine rocker cover, bucket seats, wood facia, centre console, Mountney leather-rimmed steering wheel, CD/radio player and polished alloy door furniture. A fun car that is MOT’d until August 10, but does have a Cat C insurance designation.
The Mini was a revolution on wheels, with an extraordinary level of accommodation for its size and an innovative rubber cone suspension system that helped endow the newcomer with go kart-like handling. Over 21 years the remarkable model progressed through no less than seven generations, and it was during the seven-year reign of the MKIV version that the base model of Sir Alec Issigonis’s ubiquitous baby was dubbed the Mini City. It was powered by a 998cc version of the A series engine that had an output of 41bhp, which was sufficient to propel the little car to 60mph in around 19.7 seconds and on to a terminal speed of some 84mph.
In summary:
- A low mileage example that’s been stored in a heated environment for the last few years
- Comes complete with a large selection of aftermarket extras
- Category C designation
