Sold for £5,850

Built in September 1959, this early floor-start Mini Minor, finished in Clipper Blue, proudly originates from the Scottish county of Roxburgh.

An early-production Mini Minor presented in its original Clipper Blue paintwork.

It comes with an extensive history file that includes a British Mini Club Valuation Certificate (valued at £18,000 at the time), numerous invoices, handwritten notes, and a series of photographs documenting its restoration.

A British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate confirms its build date between 18 and 21 September 1959.
First registered as KKS 373 in Roxburgh, Scotland, the registration number remains with the car to this day.

In 2020, the Mini was stripped back to a bare shell and rebuilt, and it would now benefit from a light level of additional refinishing, depending on the next owner’s preferred standard of presentation.

A rare early example of the iconic Mini, and one that certainly rewards close inspection to fully appreciate its authenticity and character.
