Specifications
Description
Just occasionally, a really superb example of a marque appears for sale and this is it.
The Mini was marketed under BMC's two main brand names, Austin and Morris until 1969, when it became a marque in its own right. The Morris version was known to all as the Mini or Mini-Minor. The word minor is Latin for "lesser"; so an abbreviation of the Latin word for "least"–minimus–was used for the new even smaller car. The Mini etched its place into popular culture in the 1960s with well-publicised purchases by film and music stars
This car is in stunning condition having been very well cared for all its life. It would be hard to see or find another example like it. It has done 37918 miles from new and has had four long term owners. The first owner, who owned for five years transferred to his wife who owned for the next 25 years. The third owner owned for over 9 years and restored the car mechanically. The fourth owner, who owned for over 5 years, stripped the car down, repainted, fitted new rubber and five brand new tires. This car has been maintained regardless of cost and there is no rust anywhere in the car – whatsoever.
Paintwork is still as new. All the rubbers, trims, external trim are new or like new.
The interior is entirely original and in Very Good condition throughout. Carpet showing its age a bit but perfectly acceptable.The mechanics are perfect, it doesn't use oil, water or drip any fluids. The tires and battery are still as new.
This low mileage classic car is being presented as if its hardly been used. Its hard to fault and drives incredibly well.
PRICE FIRM and reflects the car's level of presentation. NOTE: This is not your average Mini. Finding this car a good home is more important to me than selling the car. It would appeal to someone who wants the best and I will only sell it to a good home. Its too good not to.
Registration is currently on hold. Car will be sold with a fresh 6 month WOF and 12 month registration.

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
