The first and the last carbureted 1.3 automatic

The first and the last carbureted 1.3 automatic

Meet the Mini you didn't know existed. A 92' Mini-Matic from a short window in time: the 1.3 automatic gearbox had arrived, the SPi injection had not. So she is one of the first 1275cc automatics and at the same time one of the very last on a carb, a HIF38. Around 150 were made, and far fewer are left. Left-hand drive on top of that, where almost every automatic went to Japan with its wheel on the right.

She was delivered in France and we found her in the Apennine mountains just east of Rome, with a family company that put up road signs. Almost the whole family came to say goodbye, and to give their opinion on the price, in true Italian spirit. The dry climate kept her body good: in the wheel arches you still see the original paint.

In our workshop she got a full service, extra rust proofing on the known spots, white leather seats with white stitching and extra sound deadening. Sold in Holland.

White, with a red and blue stripe running down her flanks and a Special Edition script on the door. The stripe is custom made, a nod to the country she was delivered in: France. Chrome grille, round headlights, black arch trims, and a low stance on small wheels.

Look at the wheel arches and you still see her original paint. A dry Italian climate meant she hardly knew rain or salt, and her body shows it.

Her windscreen still tells where she lived. A MACIF insurance certificate valid from 15/02/20 to 31/03/21, a contrôle technique sticker and a green Pastille Verte, all French. On the boot lid the Mayfair script sits beside the Brooks plate.

And the dial reads 52.791 km. Original, and we like it that way.

On the interior we find white leather with white stitching, a transformation she got in our workshop, on top of an original carpet in exceptional condition and extra sound deadening under the floor. The MINI steering wheel sits right in front of you, and the automatic selector with its Park position is where your hand falls.

Yes, it is an automatic. No clutch, no fuss, just the road.

Under the bonnet we find the 1275cc engine, code 12A2BG05, still with her original HIF38 carburettor and electronic ignition. Rare, because the SPi injection took over right after her. The automatic gearbox with Park function (AP MKIIb) is fully serviced.

She rolls on 12 inch pepper pot rims, with the original jack and a spare wheel waiting in the boot, and a new old stock exhaust with new rubbers at the back.
