1978 | Mini 1000

This Mini 1000 Open was first registered on 5 October 1978 and combines the classic Mini character with open-air driving fun. Thanks to an older professional restoration, its current 1275 cc engine (originally fitted with a 998 cc) and its fresh blue appearance, it presents itself as a lively convertible with strong potential.
