1966 Morris Mini 850

The Morris Mini, a true automotive legend, needs no grand introduction. Its compact dimensions, cheeky personality, and timeless design have etched it into the annals of motoring history. And now, dear enthusiasts, we present a well-preserved 1966 Morris Mini 850 – a rare gem embodying an era's spirit.

The Mini’s journey began as a collaborative effort between Sir Alec Issigonis and the British Motor Corporation (BMC). In 1959, the first models rolled off the production line, charming the world with their innovative transverse engine layout, front-wheel drive, and space-maximizing design. The Mini was more than just a car; it was a revolution – a pint-sized marvel that defied conventions.

The Mini transcended mere transportation. It became a symbol of Swinging London, adored by celebrities, artists, and trendsetters. From the Beatles to Peter Sellers, everyone wanted a piece of the Mini magic. The Mini’s racing pedigree is legendary. It conquered the Monte Carlo Rally not once but three times! Its nimble handling and fearless spirit made it a force to be reckoned with on twisty rally stages. The Mini was democratic – loved by students, families, and urban dwellers alike. It squeezed into tight parking spots, navigated narrow alleys, and brought smiles to faces everywhere.
