This 1979 Austin Mini Pick Up, finished in classic white with a black interior, is a charming example of British automotive history. With just 21,500 miles showing on the odometer and five previous owners over its 46-year life, this pickup exudes originality and character. Lovingly owned for the last 17 years, it underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2002 and 2007 and remains in fresh and well-maintained condition today.

Unlike many of its peers, this Mini Pick Up retains its original wheels, brakes, engine, and interior, offering a rare opportunity to experience an unaltered example of this practical and iconic vehicle. Recently, the engine, gearbox, and clutch were completely rebuilt by specialists at Thomas Classic and Modern. The extensive work included all-new internals, a refurbished cylinder head, a new electronic distributor, coil, leads, and a modern three-core radiator. Set up on a rolling road, the 998cc engine now produces a lively 49 bhp and is still in its running-in stage. The total investment in the mechanical overhaul, completed in December 2024, amounted to £8,400, ensuring this Mini is ready to be enjoyed with peace of mind.
