A Splendid Austin Seven Basic Mini Saloon in Show Condition - SOLD!

[@geofo60]

This channel is great 👍🏻, some of the cars take me back to my youth. This one especially, apart from the interior, wheels it’s my first car, a 1959 Austin Seven in Farina Grey. I bought it for next to nothing in 1967, it had o/s/f wing damage. The owner was only third party insured and couldn’t afford to pay for the repairs ( he was at fault in the accident). I did the usual “fix” back then, a fibreglass flip front, different wheels. A mate of mine wanted it, I waved it good bye & bought a 1963 Cooper. Good to see another one of these iconic cars survive 👍🏻

Lovely little mini with an interesting history :)

[@KGFClassicCars]

Yes this is a great mini in excellent condition!

What a great car! Our Mini is scattered around the floor and in some boxes!

[@KGFClassicCars]

Thank you. I Hope one day you get your mini back on the road!

Sweet little car and great fun to drive with a Tardis-like interior (Seems bigger on the inside). Almost makes you wish these were still mass produced and affordable for the masses of people around the world who just want basic transport. But probably couldn't meet modern safety standards and emission requirements, though the older restored ones are perfectly legal and roadworthy.

Wow, what a gem. Wish it was all mine :-)

[@KGFClassicCars]

Yes is great thank you!

Nice video man!

I love you videos and will buy a car from yourselves one day, but why oh why can't people leave Mini's alone!? Wonderful condition, but if you want to restore a basic saloon, restore a basic saloon, such a shame an early model like that has been ruined with a different interior and bumpers etc. My '73 1000 is staying stock! :)

[@KGFClassicCars]

Yes this mini is in wonderful condition, we like stock or modified here!

[@prudhommejc]

those things can easily be changed. "Ruined" is a pretty ridiculous assessment. Looks like a car ready to be driven .

[@davidbennion3774]

@@prudhommejc You cannot "easily" change the interior

[@FcoDguez]

Very cute. Maybe wheels are too much modern for a 1959 model, but they are beautiful.

[@KGFClassicCars]

Thank you we like it here!

[@JDStoneCreations]

Show 'condition' yes, but pretty sure if judged it would lose out on the wrong bumpers, wheels, tyres and interior... Certainly a great restoration though, those doors and panels look to fit better than new!

[@KGFClassicCars]

Yes it has had a great restoration to very high standard with invoices to show money spent!

[@davidbennion3774]

@@KGFClassicCars A restoration is to restore to its original not to pretty it up to sell. It is NOT as it would have been in the showroom.

[@joshbriggsDayZBeast]

I thought the 59's went for more than this?

[@modernist2628]

KGF, if I were in Blighty (I'm in the US) and in the market for a classic car, you would be the first guys I'd look to. I've got a question ... every vehicle I see on your videos looks to be in unbelievably pristine condition - what's your criteria for vehicles to sell ... are they all painstakingly restored or have they just happened to miss the ravages of time? Cheers.

[@KGFClassicCars]

Most of our cars are original in unrestored condition!

[@modernist2628]

Impressive! Thanks for the response.

[@HeavyMetalGamer45]

I'd love this would never drive it though i'd be scared anyone bumping in to it

[@KGFClassicCars]

Its a great car to drive you would be missing out!

[@chatham43]

...no frills on this...where was the starter.....?

[@KGFClassicCars]

Starter button is on the floor near gearstick!

[@glenphillips9068]

Great car with no crap in it.

[@KGFClassicCars]

Thank you!

[@74aamer]

how much is this one

[@cambs0181]

Did that gear knob have 5 speed on it?

[@KGFClassicCars]

No, the gearbox is a four speed.

falta ver el motor lastima que no volvieron a enseñar los motores de los vehiculos
