Description from the seller
UP FOR AUCTION
* Equipped with Federperiti Conformity Guarantee expertise
* Mini Austin Racing version in factory two-tone configuration
* Delivered new in Italy
* Original spare wheel
HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Mini Austin is one of the most iconic cars in the history of British motoring, renowned for its timeless design, compact dimensions, and exceptional road handling. Produced in limited numbers, the Mini Austin Racing is a particularly sought-after variant among collectors, able to combine the unmistakable style of the classic Mini with a more sporty and exclusive character, without sacrificing the driving pleasure that made it an icon of British motoring.
The example on offer, registered in 1990, preserves the factory Racing two-tone original trim, a configuration highly appreciated by enthusiasts of the model. The preservation state and the very low mileage make this Mini a specimen of definite interest for collectors and enthusiasts of the historic English utility car.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork retains its original British Racing Green color with factory-original paint in largely original condition, in two-tone combination with a white roof as indicated on the vehicle tag, and presents itself well-preserved with some signs due to age, use, city driving, and the vehicle’s age.
A professional polishing and detailing treatment has recently been carried out, restoring shine to the bodywork and further enhancing its appearance.
The underbody is in solid original condition, has never undergone a restoration, and is compliant with road use.
INTERIOR
The cabin preserves the original configuration and is in good preservation condition. The original steering wheel, gauges, door panels, and rear seats are present and well maintained, showing only normal signs of use consistent with the age of the car.
Before going on sale, a thorough sanitization of the entire cabin was also performed.
MECHANICS
Mechanically, the car is equipped with its original 998 cc engine, code 99H, which starts easily and runs smoothly. The gearbox, clutch, and braking system operate correctly, allowing for a pleasant and immediate driving experience.
The technical inspection has recently been passed without defects, valid until May 2028 and the vehicle is legally road-registered.
As with any historic vehicle, even though it has regularly passed inspection, it is advisable to service it before prolonged use, especially for long journeys.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
