1964 Morris Mini 850 High Fiberglass Roof Windowless Prototype — One of Only Six Prototypes Built in Australia
 
A genuinely exceptional opportunity to acquire an extraordinarily rare piece of Australian Mini history.
 
Offered for sale is this 1964 Morris Mini 850 Prototype, understood to be one of only six prototype vehicles produced at the BMC facility in Zetland, Sydney, Australia.
 
What makes this particular Classic rare High Fibreglass Roof Mini Van even more remarkable is the odometer showing just 303 kilometres.
 
This vehicle has undergone a meticulous, painstaking restoration, with enormous attention devoted to presentation, authenticity and period-correct detail. The objective was not simply to restore an old Mini, but to return this historically significant car to a condition representative of how it would have presented when new.
 
The result is an extraordinary time-capsule-style Classic Mini. From the beautifully presented engine bay and period Morris components to the interior, exterior finishes, brightwork and fine detailing, this is a car intended to be appreciated at the highest level.
 
Its significance extends well beyond that of a conventional restored Morris Mini 850. With its prototype status, Australian Zetland connection, extremely limited production and exceptional presentation, this is the type of vehicle that deserves consideration by serious Mini collectors, Australian motoring-history enthusiasts, museums and collectors of historically significant automobiles.
