Welcome to the 1959 Mini Register.

It may be of interest to members to note that there is no need to log in to the site in order to view pages, only in order to edit your personal details of your car details. We hope this helps.

See our "News" page for any up coming events and information. 

The Register is free to join and is for owners of 1959 Minis. If you currently own a Mini manufactured in 1959  we’d love to receive your registration. If you don’t currently own a 1959 Mini or are just interested in them, please feel free to browse the site, there is no need to register in order to do this. At this time the register exists solely for Minis built in 1959.

If you are looking to buy a ’59 or want restoration information, we hope to be able to help you in some way – maybe we can unite you with a car, or find the bits you need!

The aim of the Register is to help preserve as many of these unique British Motoring icons as possible. We hope the Register will be an invaluable tool in identifying cars, raise the profile of them, and preserve them for future generations to enjoy.

We have incorporated a database, pooling information on the registered cars, helping us to build a production profile highlighting when changes took place in the manufacturing process. There are records in parts books giving chassis numbers for these changes, but we know of many cars that contradict the dates and numbers given which makes it very difficult to restore a car to it’s original state.

We currently have 56 cars registered with us. The break down is as follows.

               Morris                                                  Austin

Clipper Blue            13                                        Speedwell Blue   5 Cherry Red                9                                        Tartan Red          9
Old English White   12                                        Farina Grey        6
Passion Yellow         1
Maroon                       1
Total                   36                                  Total            20

The Passion Yellow and Maroon are not standard colours but at this time we don't know the original colour of the cars involved.

Can we take this opportunity to encourage any members with cars who haven't yet registered their cars with us to do so as soon as 
possible and help us to raise these figures.  We will shortly be announcing some changes to the registration criteria so would encourage these cars to be registered as soon as possible. If you have any problems with registration please feel free to contact either Trevor or Bill at admin@1959miniregister.com .

We are very grateful to http://www.britishminiclub.co.uk  
for their support. 

All personal information held on the Register will be completely private and absolutely NO SENSITIVE INFORMATION what-so-ever, i.e. Chassis numbers, names, addresses, will be divulged to a third party under any circumstances.

As you can see the site is finally starting to come together. It may have taken far longer than either of us would have liked but we are getting there. Please feel free to browse the new pages. We have more new pages ready to put up and are working on the contents as you read this. Thank you for being so patient.
Bill and Trevor
