A CLASSIC Mini built 25 years ago has gone on sale - with just 13 miles on the clock.

The Mini hasn't even been registered since the day it rolled off the famous Longbridge assembly line in Birmingham back in 1989.
It originally belonged to a Cheshire-based farmer who bought two of the Minis when they were brand new to keep as a present for when his sons turned 21.
But he sold them to the British Mini Club in 2009 when his boys came of age and were too tall to fit inside.
The two vehicles were then kept in storage in the West Midlands before one was raffled off three years ago.
And with interest in classic Minis on the rise, the second car is now being sold with a £19,000 price tag.

Mini Club leader David Hollis, 52, from Stourbridge, West Midlands, said the car, which was among 3,000 made at Longbridge to mark the 30th anniversary of the Mini in 1989, could well be worth more.
He added: "It is an unusual car because it has got no owner and no history, there aren't many cars that can say that about themselves.
"We look at ourselves as caretakers and hopefully it will be bought be a collector or someone who wants to keep it in a good condition."
