Meet Barney, 1 of just 148 remaining of the original 1,000 British Open Classic limited edition Minis produced for the UK market.


Introduced in June 1992 and based on the flagship Mayfair 1275cc model, just 1,000 British Open Classic Minis were produced for the UK market. Finished in stunning British Racing Green with gold coachlines and 'Mini British Open Classic' Coat of Arms decals, the newcomer also sported black wheel arch extensions (now painted to match the body colour) / sill finishers and rode on Minilite-style 12inch alloy wheels again just been upgraded to 12 inch Superlight Gold alloys wrapped in Nankang rubber (with a matching spare) . A full-length electrically operated Webasto sunroof (just been redone and works perfectly) and opening rear windows allowed plenty of fresh air into the interior which features a cream leather steering wheel, stone beige Countryman tweed upholstery with leather inserts and green piping. Spot the upgraded seats on Barney, they are now Cobra classic buckets with matching rear cream leather seats and green piping, which are just stunning.


Purchased new on December 18th 1992, he's covered just 37,386 miles over the past thirty two years. He's clearly had a pampered life. He's recently had a small fortune lavished on him with a full restoration including lots of fresh metal and full respray last summer, is now ready for another 32 years of great motoring. The paint is just perfect! A new rear subframe, new brakes all round and a recent full service including new starter motor, coil , plugs etc and health check with a classic mini specialist means you can jump straight in and get to some classic car shows (probably picking up some prizes at the same time) full fresh MOT also.


Under the bonnet you'll find a 1275cc with a full stage one kit, this includes, a bigger carb, different needle, air filter, manifold and full exhaust system and an upgraded cooling system with Fletcher silicone hoses and 12 core alloy radiator. This all results in a fantastic sounding and punchy performing mini. 


Why not get in the mix to win this mega rare British icon for a few quid.
