1977 Leyland Mini - Scarlet Red - 54,868km - 1.0L A-Series 4-Cylinder, 4-Speed Manual - Refreshed Mechanicals
A 1977 Leyland Mini assembled in Australia by the Leyland Motor Corporation of Australia. 2-door hatchback, 4-seat configuration, right-hand drive with recently refreshed running gear.
Overview
The Mini is one of the all-time greats. Alec Issigonis drew it up in 1956, and it went on to become one of the most influential cars ever built, with a loyal following that has never really gone away. The Leyland-badged examples assembled in Australia through the 1970s carry a local connection that resonates with collectors here, and the 1977 model year sits near the end of Australian production, making survivors like this increasingly scarce.
This example presents in Scarlet red (factory colour Scarlet O'Hara, vendor advises). The paint holds good gloss across the main panels with some attention-to-detail areas visible at the door seams and a repaired area on the rear quarter. The chrome bumpers are in good order. Aftermarket multi-spoke alloy wheels with modern tyres have been fitted in place of the original steelies, giving the car a sportier stance. The interior carries the original cream (vendor describes as Creme with Inserts) door cards, and a contrasting red cloth rear bench seat is fitted. Front seats wear black seat covers over the original trim. JVC Bluetooth head unit has been installed in the factory radio aperture.
Vendor advises the following mechanical work has been completed: new head gasket, new tyres, new battery, new fluids, new exhaust, new brakes, and digital electronic ignition conversion. The 1.0-litre A-series engine sits in the familiar side-mounted position in the engine bay with blue HT leads and an updated air filter setup. The odometer reads 54,868 kilometres. The car is sold unregistered.
