Notes
The owner tell us:
“I bought it from a collector who bought it new in the 60’s in Europe. He was an ambassador living in Belgium.
I bought his collection years ago. ".
A truly remarkable find. An intriguing Mini model that we surmise is a prototype or a special issue that never went into general production.
The body is uniquely finished in this distinctive shade of grey. Red interior. Note the incomplete interior at the rear of the model.
Rivetted base.
In very close to mint condition. A little ‘blooming’ in places.
Please take a look at this grey example when placed alongside the blue version:
The bright, crisp and complete 226 picture box has barely any wear. 22 May 1968 is stamped on the internal surface of an end flap:
An exciting Mini from this collector.
