Description from the seller

Classic Mini Convertible – Unique Decoration Object / Desk / Mancave Eyecatcher – circa 1970–1975

Special and highly decorative item offered: an original classic Mini (likely 1000 Mk3 Cabriolet), converted into an exclusive design and decorative piece.

This iconic British classic is currently used as a desk/showpiece and forms an absolute focal point in a showroom, mancave, office, hospitality venue, or collection. Thanks to the distinctive rounded nose, classic grille, and original Smiths instrumentation, this Mini instantly exudes the authentic 1970s vibe.

Features
- Original classic Mini base
- Color: red
- Equipped with original central Smiths odometer
- Original classic grille and chrome details present
- Includes various original parts such as:
- dashboard/instrumentation
- windshield
- lighting
- bumpers/grille
- seats
- body parts

Compact size and therefore excellent as an interior object

Very suitable for:
- mancave
- car collection
- showroom
- shop design
- hospitality
- events
- promotional purposes
- film/theater decoration

Condition

The vehicle is sold as a decorative object/project basis without technical roadworthiness.
Several mechanical parts have been removed in the past, such as the engine block and a portion of the right side of the car (which also allows it to function as a desk). Therefore the object is explicitly sold as a static collectible and decorative piece.

The body shows signs of use, aging, and patina consistent with age and use.

Historical impression

Based on available details, it is very likely a Mini 1000 Mk3 from the period circa 1970–1975. Notable details include:

- the central “oval binnacle” dashboard
- the classic round nose (“roundnose”)
- the wide chrome grille
- the early Smiths clocks

Sales information

- Sold as a decorative/collection object, ideal for enthusiasts or creative repurposing
- Not road-ready, engine and part of the car are missing
- The listed dimensions are an estimate, not exact. Where 'width' refers to the length of the vehicle and 'depth' the width of the vehicle.
- Pickup only, shipping is not possible due to size and weight.
- The object is in the basement and cannot pass fully through the stairwell. In the past the object was brought down in two parts and welded together there.

A very rare chance to own an iconic piece of British automotive history in a unique presentation form!
