Austin Mini Mayfair, 1988
“A classic Mini with a sporty look,” First registered on July 15, 1988, this Austin Mini Mayfair boasts a particularly appealing configuration, combining the rarity of an automatic transmission with an attractive bright red paint job, similar to the Flame Red or Modena Red shades offered at the time. Its white roof and two longitudinal stripes give it a sporty look, in the spirit of the Minis made famous by The Italian Job, without claiming to be an original Cooper configuration. The car retains the model’s iconic features: a compact silhouette, round headlights, a chrome grille and bumpers, and the MINI monogram on the rear. It is equipped with eight-spoke Minilite-style alloy wheels with a silver finish. The personalized inscription “Ma Juni” reinforces the unique character of this example. The left-hand-drive interior is upholstered in gray velour with red piping, featuring matching door panels. The black dashboard features a wood-grain center panel with a speedometer in km/h, while the steering wheel bears the Austin logo. The five-digit odometer does not allow for a definitive determination of the vehicle’s actual mileage. The package is completed by modern aluminum-style door handles. The floor-mounted gear selector indicates an automatic transmission. The car is roadworthy and has undergone initial restoration work, including repainting, a service, and the replacement of the tires and exhaust system. The vehicle inspection, which is due on December 26, 2026, will be performed prior to the sale. This vehicle is sold as-is. While roadworthy, it will require some work to bring it to a higher standard of presentation, particularly on the front floor panels, which show signs of corrosion, as well as some refinishing. This Mini Mayfair, in its rare automatic transmission configuration, will appeal to collectors of classic British city cars looking for a charming, drivable, and improveable example.
