Beautifully Restored & Upgraded 1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sportspack 1. 3 MPI - The Ultimate Specification of Mini
We have acquired a really special collection of five Mini's.
This is an exceptionally restored and upgraded example of a 1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sportspack MPI, the ultimate specification of Mini.
By the ultimate specification, we are referring to her being more powerful, reliable and safer, more fuel efficient, comfortable and luxurious than any other model of general production Mini (expanded upon further below).
1. Exceptionally Restored
Her restoration included the reconditioning of her engine and gearbox, plus all new parts, so that you don’t have to worry about reliability or the common gearbox issues. Her restoration also included new metalwork (painted inside and out), a sub frame, sills and floors so that you don’t have to worry about rust. Then, she was fitted with a brand new dashboard and re-upholstered steering wheel and gearstick, so that you feel great driving her, without the standard worn leather and peeling dash. She is supplied fully serviced with four new tyres, a new clutch, plus 12 months MOT, for your peace of mind.
2. Then Upgraded
Upgrades included HI-Lo’s and GAZ Adjusta-ride suspension, so that you can modify ride height and suspension stiffness to perfect your handling. They also included a new Superflow exhaust system, giving you that iconic and classical sound and feel.
3. Full History from New
Having a comprehensive, almost bursting, history folder dating back to New Years Eve 1999 when she was purchased from Dixons of Doncaster as an ex-Rover Demo, you can be assured that she has been cherished.
4. The Ultimate Specification
This is the ultimate specification of Mini. These Mini’s cost 63% more than the previous model because they were more powerful, reliable and safe as well as greener, more comfortable and fuel efficient than any other model of Mini.
- You have more power to enjoy, power is increased by 50% compared to the 1000cc and 20% compared to the standard 1275cc.
- You can rely on her, with all the troublesome parts upgraded (no troublesome carburettor or distributor, plus an upgraded alternator and cooling).
- Yourself and your family could feel safe driving her, unlike other Mini’s she has an airbag, door crash beams and a strengthened steering column as well as special seat belts, better handling and grip.
- You save money with fuel efficiency owing to computerised fuel injection and a special overdrive style gearbox for motorways; and
- You will be more comfortable, with significantly reduced road noise, wider, bolstered and comfier seats with much higher quality materials.
So this would be your opportunity to own an beautifully restored and upgraded example of the ultimate specification of Mini, the 1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sportspack. She’s been restored and upgraded so that you don’t have to worry about reliability. Whilst she has a few paint small blemishes, she is in very nice condition.
