The 1990s Rover Mini Sprite revived the name and usurped the old ‘City' designation. From its spring 1992 introduction, the Sprite was fitted with a single-point injection 52bhp version of the 1275cc motor and had an open-loop catalytic converter. Black wheel arches and grille frontage were teamed with chrome bumpers and standard-fit 12-inch steel wheels on the front disc-braked car. A Sprite script decal was applied to each rear three-quarter panel below the side windows. The model was deleted late in 1996 at the introduction of the front radiator series of Minis.
Displaying a genuine 14, 600 miles in the hands of one owner from new this Sprite is finished in Red on top of a rare Granite "Smarties" interior. Entered from a deceased estate, it has been in storage following their passing. Upon inspection it was noted that the subframe appears in fine condition while the bodywork is generally good. The interior presents in very good condition offering a timewarp experience for the occupants. Fitted from new with an automatic gearbox making it possibly the ultimate nippy little town car, it will require the usual recommissioning including brakes, exhaust, fuel pump & tank before being usable again.
