1989 MINI special edition "30th Anniversary Serial number SAAXXL2S1S21447505 Engine number 99HE20 118619 First hand Very nice and rare original condition A 20th century masterpiece by Alex Issogonis, this car is full of ingenuity. Front-wheel drive, the gearbox is located below the engine, with this assembly positioned across. With a compact engine area and 10-inch wheels at all four corners, the space dedicated to passengers is immense considering its very small dimensions. Handy, easy to drive and relatively comfortable, it will meet a well-deserved success. Between 1959 and 2000, approximately 5.3 million Mini cars were manufactured. Born as a model of the Morris and Austin brands, the Mini became a brand of its own in 1969. The sporty versions will be covered with glory in competition. Movie star like "L'or se barre" and car of stars such as the Beatles, Bardot or Dutronc, the Mini has bewitched the world. Available in many versions, the Mini with its original face and its extraordinary longevity is an icon among icons; it is an institution in its own right. The Mini presented here is a special model as it is the sumptuous "30th Anniversary 1959-1989" version also called "Thirty". Its finish included aluminum wheels, red or black metallic paint including fender flares and mirrors, leather/black cloth upholstery with red piping and leather steering wheel... For the British versions, there were a total of 3000 units including 1000 in black. The figures for the French versions are not known but they are probably lower. Its history is clear since it is a first hand. The owner had ordered the optional accessory bumpers for lights and grille and the console for the radio which are installed. The vehicle was first registered on December 26, 1989 and has only had one registration and one garage. All the stickers of the technical controls regularly done between 1994 and 2016 are therefore present on the registration certificate. The bodywork has no visible traces of accident and even if there are some rare and small dents here and there, overall the exterior looks pretty good for a Parisian car. The paint is original which is unusual. It is therefore imperative to keep it with its small defects. The alignments are very correct, which is quite rare. The underside looks good, except for some small jacking, there are no notable defects. Inside, the model specific upholstery is in a very good general state of preservation. Apart from two small holes in the red carpet, there is nothing to report including the headliner. On the windshield, the last insurance sticker was valid until 2018. We can deduce that the car has been stored without rolling in its garage for at least 5 years. Even if a general overhaul will be necessary, this Mini is nevertheless running and usable, a technical control will be done and available for sale. The first inspection report indicates 29641 km and no defects. The other PV are unfortunately not present. The speedometer indicates 59880 km and considering the general condition, there is every reason to consider this distance as the one covered since it left the factory. The maintenance manual, the tools, the jack and the spare tire are present. This Mini "Thirty", globally little used, presents an enviable and uncommon original condition with the best possible history, two essential points in the world of collecting. Enthusiasts will not be mistaken. In other words: this 30th Anniversary Mini is exceptional! Sold without door lock keys. Technical inspection report dated April 11, 2023 available on request.
