A chance discovery of an Austin Mini Mk1 maaannny years ago almost led me to becoming a classic Mini owner.
In this video I head back to the 1980s and 1990s and talk about several lucky classic car finds in a small village in Wales, all on separate occasions within a few hundred yards of each other. I’m particularly curious about the classic Austin Mini Mk1 though, where is it now? what happened to it? does it survive? lots of questions but very few answers. The then-owner was sentimentally-attached to it so I doubt it was just scrapped, even all those years ago a 1964 Austin Mini Mk1 was a fairly rare find, especially a proper “garage find” like this one.
Two other “finds” in the same village I did manage to secure, a Ford Thames E83W pickup (reg. NCA 129), and a £50 Volvo 121 “Amazon” saloon (YKA 750J). But what happened to the Mini?
Thanks for checking out this upload to the Old Classic Car channel, if you know any more about this classic Mini, please pop a note in the comments section.
Have you missed out on an interesting barn find, or garage find, classic like this one?
