Hello,

this is the first classic mini I own.

It's a 1972 Authi Morris Mini 850L. I'm the second owner of this car and i bought it from Spain from a nice lady who was the only owner.

Lovely. Did not see a single Mini when I was driving around Romania last year.

 

Beautiful country.

That's a very nice looking car. Will you keep it original?

yes. at some point i'll change the carpets and clean the interior, but no other modifications, except seatbelts in the rear.

Gorgeous Mk 3, wonder if the steering wheel is an Authi thing?

Yes it is :) As the Veglia-Bressel speedo, the shape of the internal mirror, the position lights inside the indicators and so on. I also have an "Authi" in Hungary.

 

mrjay : how that car got to Romania ? I believe they did not exported them abroad with that type of chassis plate.

I bought it from Barcelona and ship it by trailer here 2 weeks ago.
