We are very pleased offer a very low mileage 1995 Rover Mini Sprite finished in Flame red with a satin Black middle giving it looks that really stands out from the crowd. It is very rare to find a Mini that has been this well cared for with such an original shell. Registered new by Rowles in Eastleigh and still proudly wearing both its supplying dealer number plates and its original leather key ring. It has a detailed service history dating back 1995 which includes the original bill of sale, Rover handover sheet, service book, handbooks and raft of service invoices and MOT certificates. It has only covered a very low 21 thousand miles in 31 years with just three previous owners and has been maintained thoroughly its whole life. It has some very useful upgrades added by its long term engineer owner that have really added to the driving experience increasing performance and handling.
On the road it is a great experience. The 1275 fuel injected engine is near silent and the gearbox still feels taught and precise. Performance is brisk, it features 1:5:1 roller rockers and a Maniflow exhaust system which just gives it that little extra power and a subtle but purposeful burble. The handling is amazing and has fully adjustable camber front and rear with uprated Gas shock absorbers. We have just treated it too four brand new wider profile tyres so it does everything very well indeed. Being a fuel injected Mini it is also very easy to use, simply turn the key and go, offering all the Classic Mini charm with a modern twist.
The interior is very well presented with its original virtually unmarked seats, roof liner and door cards, a testament to its cared for life. It has a very useful rev counter mounted on the dash which adds to the fast road theme and a beautiful wood rim steering wheel. The stereo has been upgraded with a JVC head unit with AUX and USB inputs, under seat speakers and parcel shelf speakers. This model also has rear seat belts.
The Mini has a fantastic shell with its original gleaming floor pans, original vented sills, untouched boot floor and what appears to be all of its original panels. The underside is nicely detailed and it is body coloured inside all four wheel arches. The paintwork is gleaming and the looks enhanced with a set of Minilite wheels and a Cooper wide slat grille. This is a very good looking Mini that has been beautifully preserved and cared for that is also awesome to drive.
We have fully serviced, checked, tuned and driven this Mini and it also has a full no advisory MOT so it is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
