Meet "Nelson"
1 of just 300 UK Paul Smith specially designed edition Mini's and this one has low owners & mileage. My personal favourite of the late Minis!
Finished in the most amazing colour of "Paul Smith Blue". Body matching arches cover the 12x6 inch charcoal painted sports style wheels wrapped in brand new 145/70r tyres, these just look awesome. Of course everything else is chrome. Special mention needs to be made to the contrasting punchy citrus green hints and the 2 fog lamps. Here's an extract from the original sales brochure..... "the designer of the Mini must be a genius. It looks better & better every year and still drives like a dream" The paint is absolutely stunning. Spot the unique bonnet Paul Smith badges, "True Brit" grill badge and Paul Smith decal in the rear window.
Internally is where the Paul Smith minis really shine. Opening the door you are greeted with the upgraded black full leather interior with matching door cards, black carpet which just transform the feeling. The black leather clad steering wheel, gear knob & handbrake cover all paired with the colour matched dash, just lift this above your standard Mini. Specially designed "Paul Smith "cream dials with speedo, rev counter, fuel & temperature gauges. The drivers & passenger door pockets along with the glove box in contrasting green make for useable spaces.
Under the bonnet you'll find the punchy 1275cc MPI 8v engine producing 63 BHP with 70 ib-ft torque, getting to 60MPH in 12.2 seconds and going all the way to 90MPH, this is more than enough for modern driving and of course feels rather fast 4 inches from the ground. Paired to 4 speed gearbox, this flies along. Smithy has travelled just 55,285 miles. Has a full service history and a comprehensive ownership record. Running gear wise these had uprated suspension from factory. Smithy is totally original including the working factory radio. Just been fully serviced and had 4 brand new tyres. Comes with the Paul Smith bag and two sets of keys including the key number tag.
Like most other Minis these are increasing in value rapidly, so why not get in the mix to win an appreciating British icon for less than a quid!
This is an exceptionally well cared for example in a stunning and rare colour combination that makes him collectible and extremely valuable!
There's also a MASSIVE £10,000 TAX FREE cash alternative if you don't fancy Nelson for some insane reason!
