40-Year-Old Mini Gets a *LONG* Overdue Detail | Top Gear Clean Team
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Juley has owned seven Minis over the years, but she has brought her 1981 Austin Morris Mini “Little Min” to the Clean Team for some professional help. She keeps the car in good nick but doesn’t shy away from using it as her daily driver, often using it to transport plants and gardening equipment. This has left the original upholstery looking a little bit grubby and in need of some TLC. Light work for the Top Gear Clean Team...

@@sigmamale6128 When you think about the fact that this car is 40 years old and used with a whole family it was pretty clean and in a good condition. She might not be crazy about cleaning it every Sunday but she took care of it. And you have really other thinks to do as a mom than worrying over your car. The car wouldn't look like that if she didn't took care all those years.

Been a reliable friend for many people in 40 years. The car deserves the love just as much as Juley deserves to drive it now it's all sparkling. Good job.
This is the kind of person that deserves this. Someone who takes care of their car and uses it regularly like it's meant to be.
When transport was transport, and not a status symbol, a Mini was a ground braking and effective family car. Now we all need two-ton faux off roaders... go figure.

It will be hard to find a small car with ony the basics nowadays. And the price starts roughly around €15.000 (in the Netherlands at least). That's crazy.

Big killer for these old cars is safety. Such cool little things, but you really really mustn't crash in them. No crumple zones, no airbags, no abs etc - really makes owning one as a daily driver quite a risk.

@@SpottedCreeper the designer, Alec issigonis (I think I spelt that right) once said something along the lines of, "it's designed to be nimble enough to not crash." Had an uncle who managed to write off a lorry with his mini. Admittedly he nearly wrote himself off too, but not quite. Obviously the mini was no more. Also no crumple zones aren't a bad thing in old cars nowadays... everyone else has such nice soft cars to hit, just use their crumple zones! (Of course, I jest)
I love the woman! She’s awesome. Impressive how (relatively) clean it was after 40 years

What a lovely lady and omg I love her Little Min Mini😍❤️❤️
My first car in 1982 was a 1978 mini, in " Sandglow" yellow. They did the Austin Allegro and Austin Maxi in that colour too. This mini is in amazing condition for its age, even the slightly damaged seats are fine for a 40 year old car. Nice work boys.

Literally polish value back into a gem of a motor. Top job fellas.
I said wow! at the difference to the seats and the paintwork looked matt before, after was glossy and reflective. It looks amazing and Juley is so sweet, what a lovely thing to do for her. ❤❤
Inspiring me to give my classic mini a deep clean. They really are amazing cars
Rode in one many years ago during a visit to Trinidad. Great little car. One of my brothers took his road test in one during the time he was living in London.
Great job. The owners reaction was priceless, she was like a little child, good for her. Thanks again, RickGTI….. 🇺🇸🌴

Literally the only clip I like from the new top gear
That little car is adorable! I want one! ♥️🤩
Gosh I had a 1982 miniHL in dark blue as in my first car around 1986, loved it. Happy days
That was very satisfying. Just the motivation I need to give a bit of TLC to my family's motors this weekend
An acquaintance had a red one of these back in the early 80s. The doors had no liners and the latch was activated by pulling a chain. It was a brilliant bit of basic transportation
Juley is just radiating positive energy :D
I love British television! Well done, lads. Looks fantastic!
Amazing transformation. Icon shines once again !
I love mini’s so much just sitting in one puts a huge grin on my face.😁

I honestly would LOVE to have my truck cleaned this well. I have a 1988 GMC 1500 34 years old and all original interior
Wow....Amazing.
Any tips for removing yellow stains from adhesive on the headlining? Specialist vinyl cleaners haven’t had any effect.
Great job guys l live literally ten minutes up the road from where this is filmed 👍🏻🇬🇧
What a lovely car!
What a lovely honest little mini basic but lovely 😍
I hope you keep that little beauty forever. Long may you run L'il Min, long may you run.

As an ex owner.....I’m always terrified to see a power washer near an original mini. 😅
Smashed it lads, one happy granny, mad as a box of frogs, but happy!. Nice1. 👋😉👍
As a kid my dream car was a mini clubman, it had to be the mustard yellow one with the brown stripe. It's still my dream car❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Definatelly a dream car i’d love to get
Clicked on the video by chance. How thrilled was I to see Joe and Jack working on this mini!!! Amazing work guys :D
Great job! 😃
The forty year old mini came up a real treat, especially of the inside seating & carpets. I'd love to know what cleaning liquids you used on inside to make the difference between before & after cleaning.
Better than new 👌 I wonder what it takes to stop a classic from turning to dust but still able to use it ever day like this?

Julie when you feel the time to sell it I'd be grateful to take care of it for another 40+ years 🙏 love minis 😁🤣
Timelapse with a bit of ukg, well done lads. Also took away some car cleaning tips, thanks!
In my country early 70s *Austin Mini* was the car of many families, poor or rich, it was manufactured in Arica, Chile in *fiber glass mold.* 😀 (same for MG) Light yellow was my favorite color, I remember so well. Early 90s came then the Rover Mini, but a little expensive maybe. Greetings and congrats from Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica 🇨🇱 PD: what a handsome guy, the skiny guy.🤭 He looks like Chris Evans. 😉
Sooo enjoyable :*
