Description

This 1989 Mini Mayfair is a great example of classic British motoring—compact, lively, and full of personality. Finished in a vibrant red, the car was resprayed around four years ago and still presents well, though a few areas could benefit from light touch-ups to bring it back to its best. It’s a car with soul, and plenty of charm to match.

Inside, the Mini features a grey interior that remains in good condition for its age, offering a nicely preserved, period-correct atmosphere. It’s clean, functional, and makes for a fun and honest driving experience.

Originally discovered as a barn find, this Mini has since undergone considerable restoration work, with a large number of parts replaced or refurbished over the years. A comprehensive photo album and paperwork folder documents much of the work carried out, offering peace of mind and a clear picture of the car’s recent history.

With 55,000 miles on the clock, this right-hand-drive example is mechanically sound and well maintained. It received its most recent service on 19th September 2024 and is currently both MOT’d and taxed, ready for the road. It’s insured on a classic car policy and has had nine previous owners—not uncommon for a Mini of this vintage, many of which have long histories in enthusiastic hands.

This Mayfair is ideal for someone looking to enjoy a usable classic with a bit of patina, or for an enthusiast wanting a light project with most of the hard work already done. Whether as a fun city car, a weekend runabout, or a head-turner at local shows, it’s a great way into classic Mini ownership.
