1966 ROVER MINI

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

The Mini Moke remains one of Britain's most recognisable leisure vehicles, combining the compact mechanical package of the classic Mini with its distinctive open-bodied design

This example was first registered in 1966 and in current ownership since 1985, having been used sparingly as a regular attendee at classic car shows and indicating fewer than 14,000 miles at the time of cataloguing

Powered by an 848cc naturally-aspirated inline-four engine, driving the front wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox

Reshelled in 2016 using a new replacement English Moke bodyshell, with further works including the fitment of a Heritage rear subframe, a comprehensive brake overhaul with new wheel cylinders, linings and master cylinder, together with a new clutch, clutch master and slave cylinders, timing chain and engine oil seals whilst the engine was removed

Finished in its original Spruce Green with a matching dark green vinyl hood over a body-coloured interior trimmed in green vinyl upholstery and riding on ten-inch steel wheels fitted with Dunlop Weathermaster tyres

Equipped with tubular bumpers, a rear-mounted spare wheel carrier, a two-spoke steering wheel and a Smiths speedometer

Accompanied by its V5C, jack, wheel brace, plug spanner, original sales brochures and handbook

A delightful example from long-term ownership, equally suited to relaxed summer motoring, local shows or as part of a wider classic collection
