Classic Mini Van hidden for decades expected to sell for staggering £25K at auction
- 5 years ago
The 1968 Austin Mini Van is regarded as a "time warp" car after being driven just 302 miles in 47-years.
It was bought new for £400 by a Miss G. Crumcott, from Northern Ireland, for her first car.
But the hapless learner couldn't pass her test so never got round to taking the little car for a drive.
Instead, it was parked in her garage where it remained for almost 30 years before being sold to a local BMC Mini dealer, Mr T. Turkington.
He parked the car in his showroom and held onto it for almost ten years before selling it to a Brit.
