Austin Westminster 1965 - £15,000

A Fun alternative tow car!

This lovely “Westy”  has been with its current owner for 10 years and in that time has been lovingly looked after with ongoing engine and car upgrades. Previously to that, it was owned by the late Norman Grimshaw for over 24 years, used as a service car at iconic race and rally events and as a tow vehicle for his own Mini! This car boasts a wealth of history, being previously used as a Historic Rally servicing car during the 1990’s and in the year of 1992 it was specifically used as a servicing car for Rauno Aaltonen in the Historic RAC rally. In 1998 it was a Goodwood Revival paddock vehicle and continued to do so for many more years following.

The current owner had the interior fully carpeted, repaired and restored the original leather seats, trimmed the boot and put it on a set of Minilite wheels. It previously underwent a nose-to-tail service including the brakes, hubs and engine tuning by Orchard Restorations in Lewis, who continued to regularly service it.

This eye-catching Austin Westminster is an affordable classic and a true piece of motorsport history. Just imagine towing your trailer and race Mini to your next event in this!
