Hi Guys...

Just ( after 5 years of trying) purchased a Mini Park Lane from a neighbour.

32000 from new, 1 owner in absolutly Mint condition, needing very little to get it to show stage.

Just wondering if I can find out how many Park lanes are left today?....

Not the best model in the world i know, but this is totally original down to the push button am radio and original gear knob.

Will get you guys some pictures later to see what ya think....

Well like most LEs I think there must of been 1,500 Mini Park Lane's were sold in the UK

UK cars sold in Black

Cost when new - £4,194

Another 2,500 Mini Park Lane's were sold in export markets - 700 were sold in Japan, where Mini Park Lane's were also sold in bright Red with white/cream decals.

hope this is of help................. :(

You cant really tell from the pictures the the paint has a kinda glittery look to it.

Check out this website, it's really fun to enter any car! Makes you appreciate your car even more. The website shows you how many of the certain car you enter is left on the road in the UK, obviously this only applies to road legal ones, so there may be some still being restored/SORN etc.

Just ran a search for a "mini park lane" There is 64 left on the road today (none cooper)
