In excellent condition inside and out, under the bonnet, in the boot and underneath are equally as impressive.

Driving really well with no untoward knocks, bangs or rattles, she pulls through the gears effortlessly and is, as with most minis, great fun and a pleasure to drive.
The revolutionary design of the Mini was created by Sir Alec Issigonis, considered a visionary in industrial transportation. It was intended as an affordable vehicle in response to the oil crisis. It was the small car icon of the 1960s, and was produced by BMC (British Motor Corporation) starting in 1959. Through the 1980s and the 1990s there were released several "special editions" of the Mini, that shifted the car from a mass-market item into a fashionable icon. The final Mini was produced in October 2000, being the last from a total of 5. 3 million cars manufactured and sold all over the world.
Very affordable entry level classic car, classic insurance, economical to run with inexpensive maintenance costs. All parts are readily available for ongoing care and maintenance.
Please don’t compare her to a modern car. She’s 38 years old, and there may be imperfections, blemishes & age related wear & tear in there somewhere, even if not apparent on first viewing. It is inevitable that some degree of tinkering may be required even to a car in this condition.
Owning a classic car is a hobby & you will spend time & money in ongoing care & maintenance, this is part of the joy of owning a classic car. The description of the car is based on my opinion, & it could be that it will differ from yours.
If you are considering buying the car, I recommend that you examine & test the car and satisfy yourself as to its condition and suitability.
