57-Years-Family-Owned 1962 Austin Mini Beach Car

About

This Austin Mini was built on March 9, 1962, as one of an estimated 15 Beach Car examples produced, and it was dispatched later that month to the US to promote the Mini’s arrival to the North American market. The car is said to have remained at Knauz Continental Autos Inc. of Lake Forest, Illinois, for several years before it was purchased new from the dealership by the current owner’s grandfather in 1969.
