1979 Mini 1100 LTD - SOLD

1979 Classic Mini 1100 L.T.D.

The L.T.D. was the last of the special edition round nose South African Minis built in very low volume at the Blackheath Cape Town assembly plant in 1979. They were all finished in dark metallic zircon blue paintwork with special two tone upholstery.

It featured the locally built 1098cc short stroke engine, a Webasto style sliding soft sunroof with wind deflector and a 3 spoke leather steering wheel. 

This particular model is referenced in the SA Mini authority Ryno Verster's book ' Thanks for the Mini memories - A South African Mini Story'. We bought it out of a museum that was closing down where it had resided over recent years. It retains factory original bodywork and is in excellent condition throughout having been restored to a good standard a few years ago by a respected local Mini specialist in Jo'burg.  

It runs and drives nicely evidencing the low mileage of 92k km (58k miles) indicated on the clock which is believed genuine although not documented. 

A unique opportunity to purchase the only example of this model in the country.
