Footnotes

• One of a host of Mini special editions that had commenced with the 'Limited Edition 1000' of 1976, the 'Piccadilly' was introduced in 1986 following the successful reception given to the immediately preceding 'Ritz' and 'Chelsea' models. Like its immediate forebears, the Piccadilly was based on the mainstream 998cc City E model; it was finished in Cashmere Gold, with the 'Piccadilly' logo set into a contrasting coachline. The 'Piccadilly' script also appeared on the boot and on the front seats, while the interior was multi-coloured, featuring trim in Bitter Chocolate, Coffee, and Claret – a particularly delicious sounding combination. Other noteworthy special features included chromed door handles and bumpers, full-size wheel trims, and hinged rear windows. In total, 2,500 Mini Piccadillys were completed, many of which were exported to France and Japan.
  
  The current vendor, a Mini aficionado, bought this limited edition Piccadilly model earlier this year when he was suffering 'withdrawal symptoms', with none of the Minis in his collection on the road at that time. Re-sprayed at a cost of £2,400 some three years ago, the car is described as in generally good condition and offered with current MoT certificate and V5C document.
