1963 MORRIS MINI 850

848cc, manual. This cracking Mini 850 is a matching numbers MkII, complete with floor start, "magic wand" gears, and sliding windows. It comes with a huge history file and is ready to use, with an MoT to 1st February 2027 and a recent battery. The vendor has owned and used it since 2010 and kept it garaged throughout his tenure. He describes it as "running very well" and reports that it “drives as new”. 

Paperwork includes the V5C which indicates 4 former keepers, the original buff logbook, and a full lever-arch file of maintenance invoices and MoT certificates going back to the 1980s. A printed spreadsheet of works achieved since 2010 shows ongoing maintenance amounting to nearly £14,000. The car is also supplied with parts catalogues, a Haynes restoration manual, factory workshop manual, handbook, and a hardback edition of 'Mini: The Definitive History' by Jon Pressnell.

First registration was in Berkshire in July 1963, and today the odometer is showing 61,679 miles.
