Basic City E spec, single gauge dash, drum brakes. GOOD BITS Upper body in very good condition, original paint (BL Dark Blue), very minor dents and marks, some surface rust repairs made.

OIRO £250 email - barspeed@hotmail.com Nice looking little car, I once had an 85 Mini City E in that colour and it's called Eclipse Blue if I remember correctly, mind you I got mine all sprayed up to look like a Cooper! Oh and the seats are definitely not leather, they never came with leather seats, not on a City, they're just vinyl seats with sawtooth type cloth inserts. Taffy Wasnt sure, was just a quick look last night in the half dark after I got it home. Put a good battery on it and cleaned up solenoid connection this afternoon, started after some adjustment, runs very well, good solid engine, and no smoke either! > *** 1984 AUSTIN MINI 1000 CITY E BLUE.

Well I hope it finds a good home as it's too good to strip etc, but as it's a City it's really a sort of blank canvas and like I said, I gave mine a Cooper makeover when I had that City, but you can do lots more to it really, or keep it standard and pure too?
