Description
This specific Rover Mini offers a unique characteristic over most others at this price range. Originally manufactured for the Japanese Market, a limited production run of Automatic, Rover Mini's were produced, with this being one of very few examples to be cancelled, sold and registered domestically in the UK. Presented with a mere 30, 282 Miles (48, 734KM), this example was used as a demonstrator car by 'Starlins of Worcester', a Main Dealership, for 5 Months. From then it was sold to a Mrs S Williams (Original Bill of Sale Included), preserving the car up until 2010, when it was sold to a family member continuing its up-keep for the next 4 years. This Mini was then sold to the current owner, and has been kept in dry storage, maintained and thoroughly cherished to a high standard up to its current day. With a current invoice of £1, 379. 89 on the 6/ 11/ 2024, all very minor issues have been rectified and repaired, allowing for an Advisory Free MOT till 6/ 11/ 2025. With only 3 previous keepers, this stunning little Mini strikes as a superb opportunity as a highly genuine example, with a desirable element of uniqueness over others.
Bodywork Wise, The ‘Max Mayer British Racing Green’ paintwork, is in brilliant overall condition and paired with the White Roof, Mirrors, Bonnet and Racing Stripes. With a previous restoration at 45, 900 Kilometers, all panels still reflect the high level of work carried out ; very minimal air bubbles from the respray have presented themselves in the paintwork on the drivers rear quarter and front wings. All Trims, Front Spot Lights, Badges and Minilite Alloys are in superb condition, with the chassis showing no signs of corrosion at all.
The Interior is almost factory fresh - in completely standard condition, this Mini features a Black Leather Upholstery with Red Carpets and Piping, paired with a Leather Cooper Steering Wheel, John Cooper Floor Mats, Rev Counter, as well as its original Rover Stereo System. All accessories work exactly and they should, with no mentionable faults in any trim, carpets or seats.
Mechanically the car runs and drives with no issues at all. With any maintenance carried out whenever necessary by its current keeper and previous, invoices clearly showcase how truly well cherished this example has been throughout its lifespan. All original ownership manuals and handbooks are present, most notably including its original bill of sale.
With a replacement alternator, catalytic converter, necessary gaskets, various vacuum hoses and a complete full service on the 6/ 11/ 2024, this is a highly regarded opportunity to own and continue cherishing this a unique Automatic, Rover Mini.
