1983 Mini 1000 VAN

It was a revolutionary and characterful small car designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Alec Issigonis (1906-1988) and manufactured in Birmingham. This car incorporated advanced technologies that were new for their time, such as a transversely mounted engine and front-wheel drive, a concept that is widely used today. The Mini was available with engines of 850, 1000, and 1275 cc. From 1964 to 1971, the Minis featured the hydraulic suspension system designed by Alex Moulton, known as 'Hydrolastic'. Subsequently, primarily for cost reasons, they reverted to the original rubber suspension elements. In July 1958, Alec Issigonis invited his client to take a test drive in one of the two prototypes. Leonard Lord was surprised by the combination of speed and handling and immediately gave the green light for the project to continue. The next step was delivering a production version; they were given 12 months for this.Mileage 23.824 km odometer readingYear of construction 1983Color grayMargin or VAT Margin
