⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Marketed as "a great leap forward", the Mini Kangaroo is a rare sight in the UK.

Built at the Australian British Motor Corporation factory in Zetland, New South Wales, using 80% locally sourced components, the Morris Mini K was advertised as "The great leap forward". The K was offered in two body styles: a 2-door saloon and a 2-door van. It featured distinctive wind-up windows and swivelling quarterlights with Mk I-style external hinges.

Powered by the then-new 1098cc (1100) engine, it boasted a 25% increase in power, leaping (hence the 'K' for Kangaroo) to an impressive 50bhp, delivering that power to the front wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox.

The current custodian, Sophy, has enjoyed ownership for the past 26 years - she has done her utmost to keep this Kangaroo as original as possible, sourcing rare and sought-after parts from Australia while making a few tasteful modifications along the way. This car is one of the last to leave the factory as production ran from March 1969 - August 1971, Sophy told us her birthday is 27 July 1971.
