Description
First registered on 28th January 1999, this stunning Mini Cooper Sportspack is finished in striking Solar Red with a contrasting white roof and bonnet stripes, complimented by a black leather-trimmed interior. Power comes from a lively 1275cc multi-point injection engine producing around 62bhp through a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a bank of four Rallye-style fog and spot lamps, 13-inch alloy wheels, a stainless steel exhaust, a leather-bound steering wheel, a burr walnut dashboard and door cappings, alloy door trim, 'Mini Cooper' branded floor mats and a three-clock binnacle with magnolia-faced dials.
This example has covered just 33, 459 miles from new and has been cherished by an enthusiast for the past four years, following a previous ownership period of over two decades. During this time, it has been used sparingly but correctly - run regularly, driven only in dry conditions and clearly maintained with great care. Their decision to part with the car was made solely due to the forthcoming loss of garage storage.
The Mini presents in fantastic condition throughout and is a strong reflection of both its mileage and careful ownership. The Solar Red paintwork exhibits a deep, glossy finish, with straight and well-aligned panels. The original factory ‘body’ number is present on the bonnet slam panel and the chassis number is correctly etched into the front and rear screens. The brightwork and rubbers are in superb order, while all four alloy wheels appear ‘as new’, fitted with Yokohama A539 tyres.
Inside, the cabin is equally impressive, consistent with the low mileage. The burr walnut dash is free from any cracking or delamination, while the headlining has recently been renewed. Elsewhere, the engine bay, boot and undercarriage are all clean and very well presented. The car benefits from a recent new rear subframe and sills, further enhancing its condition and longevity.
On the road, this Mini performs exactly as it should. The 1275cc injection engine feels lively and responsive, pulling cleanly through all four gears, with smooth and precise changes. The stainless steel exhaust produces a subtle yet purposeful tone that enhances the experience.
The Mini is sold freshly serviced and MOT’d and is supplied with two sets of keys and a history file dating back to the point of first registration, including the original stamped service book and a complete MOT history record.
