Believed to be one of the very last classic Minis produced, under stood to have been built in the final month of production
With the current owner since approximately 2014
Mechanically maintained by a specialist throughout current ownership
Gearbox rebuilt during current ownership
The Appeal
Quite simply, the classic Mini Cooper is one of the most iconic and beloved British cars ever made, and this particular example carries a notable distinction: it is believed to have been built in the final month of production. For collectors, that provenance adds real significance to an already desirable 1,275cc Cooper specification.
This car has been in the current owner's hands since approximately 2014, during which time all mechanical work has been entrusted to a specialist. The gearbox has been rebuilt, and the vendor states the car is in mechanically sound condition, starting first time, driving well and feeling tight. The interior is described as very clean, with everything functioning as it should. Externally, the car presents as clean overall, though the lower door sections require some attention and one rally light is broken. With some cosmetic tidying, this could present very smartly indeed. As it stands, the vendor describes it as an extremely usable example, a classic Mini Cooper that can be enjoyed as intended.image.png1.68 MB
