The History and Paperwork
- Partial service history
- V5C document present
- Long MOT until September 2023
- Just 38k on the clock
- Original booklets included
- Spare key
This quirky little Mini has covered just 38 thousand miles throughout its lifetime, as supported by the figures recorded on included previous MOT certificates.
Over the years, it would seem the vehicle has been well maintained with regular servicing.
Although the vehicle doesn’t appear to have required much in the way of major repairs over the years, the car has had notable welding work within the last month.
In order to meet the previous MOT fail’s defects, this Mini was treated with repairs to the front & rear suspension mounting components and has since received a clean bill of health.
Now, this little Sprite awaits its next home, where it will no doubt make a fantastic weekend toy or collection piece.

The Interior
- 3-spoke steering wheel
- Kenwood head unit
- Fitted with an aftermarket amp
- Aftermarket speakers
- On board fire extinguisher
- Excellent condition
- Spare wheel included
The interior of this Rover Mini presents itself very well, with only a few very minor signs of wear and age.
In keeping with the mileage, the driver’s seat shows only the slightest wear, while both the front and rear passenger seats reflect few less use, with no noticeable defects.

Both door cards follow suit, with seemingly only incredibly minor blemishes. Carpeting throughout the cabin also appears to have been very well preserved, and now shows a near-wear-free finish.
The headliner, on the other hand, does show notable tears and staining near both sun visors towards the front of the vehicle. That being said, this is seemingly the only major defect within the interior, and can likely be rectified without great cost.

As keen-eyed viewers may have already spotted from the photographs, this Mini’s interior does boast a few tasty upgrades including a snazzy dashboard, voltmeter, and Kenwood head unit.

The Exterior
- Two-tone exterior
- MK7 styling
- Excellent condition
- Stainless sump guard
- Red calipers & drums
Although enthusiasts have their own personal preferences, the Rover design for the MK7 Mini is arguably one of the sportiest to date.
You’re given the signature side profile, with sporty arches and slightly more square edges.

This particular example shows off the design well, utilizing a two-tone exterior to its advantage. Whilst the paintwork is believed to be its original finish, the roof appears to be a vinyl wrap, which may very well be removable if the candy red isn’t to your tastes.
The paintwork appears to have held up rather well over the years, and seemingly now shows only a few minor blemishes. These include the typical front-end speckles, a tiny dent just below the rear registration plate, and slight bubbling near the arches.

Rounding out the vehicle’s aesthetics, are the ever-so-timeless 8-spoke 13” wheels. The wheels are in great condition for their age, and seemingly show only minor flaking and marks to the lips, barrels, and faces.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
