This 1989 Austin Mini Flame, finished in vibrant Flame Red with a contrasting black interior, is a true gem and a rare opportunity for collectors. Owned from new by a dedicated lady enthusiast for the past 35 years, this award-winning Mini has been cherished and meticulously maintained. Always garaged when not in use, it remains in remarkable condition, reflecting a level of care that is seldom seen.

The interior is equally impressive, with a condition that belies its age, looking more like it’s just five years old. The originality is striking, featuring the factory radio and tool bag, along with the original steel wheels and white hubcaps, which accompany the recently fitted Minilite alloy wheels with brand-new tires. These tasteful updates enhance its appearance while preserving its authentic character.

Mechanically, the 998cc engine and manual transmission are in excellent form, backed by an impeccable maintenance record. This Mini has exclusively been serviced by Austin/Rover dealers or specialist garages, with a file containing 22 servicing invoices, the original bill of sale, order form, a complete book pack, and all past MOT certificates confirming its mileage of 44,450 miles.

This Mini Flame has participated in the iconic London to Brighton Mini Run for many years, earning 1st and 2nd place in the show and shine competition on separate occasions. Its exceptional condition, rich history, and "one owner from new" provenance make it an exceedingly rare find. A testament to the enduring charm of the classic Mini, this 1989 Austin Mini Flame is ready to delight its next caretaker.
