Hi everyone my name is KIM and back in 2008 ish I was in possession of a lovely little MK1 850 mini in old english white with a red interior. This was a car that was given to my mother (now passed away) some 10 years before I had it as a restoration project.

 

Due to unforeseen circumstances at the time the restoration was stopped about half was through and the car was then sold. 

 

I am now trying to find this car as a present for my father as a present as a memory of my mother.

 

I know this is going to be a long shot but hopefully someone out there may be able to help or will know where this car currently is.

 

The registration number is BAD 701B. Austin Mini 850 super deluxe. 

 

Any help is appreciated.

According to DVLA it was taxed up until 3rd September 2020. Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 13th September 2020, but listed as "Untaxed" not on SORN. So looks like the car, but possibly just the V5 changed hands then.

Yes i know i have got that far. I am hoping that the car still exists as its personal to the family and i would love to get it back for my dad.

Try putting the reg in the subject title.

Some people just scroll through the list of posts without reading the whole thing.
