Rare 1969 Authi Mini from Pamplona Captivates Classic Car Enthusiasts
Pamplona, Spain – A recent online video has brought renewed attention to a unique piece of automotive history: the 1969 Authi Mini. This particular model, manufactured in Pamplona, Spain, stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit between Spanish and British engineering during the late 1960s. The video, shared by automotive enthusiast Ángel Gaitan, provides an in-depth look at the vehicle's engine bay, highlighting its compact yet robust design. The term 'Authi' itself, as explained in the video, is an acronym for 'Automóviles de Turismo Hispano Ingleses,' signifying its dual heritage. Production of these Spanish-made Minis began in 1969, approximately ten years after the original Mini first rolled off assembly lines in England. Gaitan points to the car's original chassis number plate, noting its historical importance for identifying the model and facilitating the procurement of spare parts in an era predating modern supply chains and the concept of planned obsolescence. Gaitan mentioned, 'We have to do a small restoration, and the truth is we are enjoying it a lot.' This statement underscores the passion and dedication involved in preserving these classic vehicles. The video offers a compelling visual narrative of the Authi Mini's mechanical intricacies and its place in Spain's industrial past, appealing to both classic car aficionados and those interested in historical manufacturing practices.
