Small wonder

A 50-year-old Mini with all of its original parts and just 36,000 miles on the clock is expected to fetch at least £10,000 at auction in Buxton, Derbys in July. The 1967 850 Deluxe, above, has been stored, unused, in a barn since 1983. It has never undergone any welding or required any new parts and has a vivid red interior, left, as good as new.

It has had only one – very careful – owner and comes with its original bill of sale, two keys and a handbook.
