WIN FOR £0.99p!
Rita's lucky winner Habib Raza decided on the life changing cash alternative so she's BACK! Having travelled just 4423 miles from new! yes in 40 years!
She truly is a time warp example and has a total history.
The Austin Mini Ritz was part of the "London" limited edition runs that they produced. Just 2000 Ritz were made and just 39 remaining on the road today. This is the BEST example in the world. Completely as she left the factory other than the addition of a discreet clock.
Finished in stunning Silver leaf metallic paint with contrasting red "Ritz" decals, grey grill, mirrors, arches and 12 inch alloy wheels (which at the time was unheard of) everything else is stainless steel. She still wears all of her original panels and paint with no repairs ever having been carried out.
Internally is where the limited edition Minis where different, the bespoke interior with Claret, Prussian Blue, and Osprey velour. Matching door cards, carpets, and seat belts. A funky navy blue top and bottom dash rail, Mayfair-style instruments. Reclining front seats with "RITZ" logos brings it all together nicely. Other Features include Rear seat belts. Period Radio Cassette player. Vented sills and body-colored floor pans. Some examples have been featured in films, such as "A Christmas Exchange 2020".
Under the bonnet sits the ever popular 998cc engine producing 42 bhp paired with a 4 speed manual gear box. As already mentioned she has travelled just 4423 miles from new and was recommissioned (by the original selling dealer, whom are still around today and know the Mini well) in 2009 after a long time in storage. Since she's been with me she's had the complete once over as all of our Minis do and a fresh service including all new fluids, plugs etc and a heater matrix valve, she feels like a brand new Mini, its truly remarkable!
So why not get in the mix to a WIN a true piece of motoring history for just £0.99p! She is museum worthy!
