The Penny Mini

As part of the promotion for The Beatles double A-sided single ‘Penny Lane’ along with ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ in 1967, at least two, and possibly more, Penny Minis were created, sensationally covered in old English pennies, reflecting the eccentricity of the age.

This car was first registered in March 1968 and, when bought in London for the collection in the 1980’s, was described as one of those cars, although there is no supporting documentation.



Whatever, this car reflects the swinging sixties in every respect and must be on the shopping list of pop memorabilia collectors, specialist Mini collectors and numismatists.

The car has not been used for many years although recently started and ran, recording good oil pressure. The body is known to need some remedial work. This iconic collector’s item is offered with a Swansea V5 registration document.

For auction at Bonhams. Estimate: £6,000 - 8,000.
