Hello...I'm new to your Mini Forum, and wonder what other early 1959 Minis have survived?
I own 1959 A-A2S7-108

I take it the 8th car made?
Are there any earlier cars out there?

Cheers,
Pete...

excellent, thats the oldest ive heard of yet and im lovin it already, i'm not much use to you though as the oldest i have is an '84. i visited your site to see if there were any pic's of your mini, didn't see any mini pic's but got a bit carried away with the other vintage cars, i always loved vintage race cars and use to go watch a friend of mine race some of his pre-war road cars, my 4yr old son is also a fan....

any pic's of the mini?

Needs a complete restoration, it's all original, with factory grey paint / red interior as stated in the Heritage Certificate.
It should go into a museum...all numbers match.


I'll take your advise and will not post the chassis plate photo...

£15,000 and still no pic's ;) , don't think your sale is for this site.... lol :withstupid: .

if your only here to make a sale on an unknown, not because you love mini's in general but only the one you have and pre and you think were all monkeys sucking on banana's then you in the wrong place and think you may bring your car elsewhere.... we have plenty of people of all ages only too willing to help where possible and asked for so personaly i won't miss your negativity.

bye bye....... :thumbsup: ;) :closed:

What a strange fellow...

why the price increase from £12,500 to £15,000?

Would have been good to get pictures though! shame some people done hang around long enough to see that there is nothing wrong with us all?!

ah well...
