Classic Mini Specialist
1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sportspack 1. 3 MPI Manual
More photographs coming shortly. This is a clients Mini. He has asked to to advertise her for him for health reasons. It’s the ultimate specification of Mini, the most powerful and reliable, the safest and most specced of all factory production models. It is the model with all the safety features including an air bag and crash safety beams.
It has the factory additional extra Sportspack and full black leather interior, very expensive factory options. The Sportspack included wider arches, larger wheels, extra gauges amongst various mechanical upgrades.
This is a solid Mini throughout, it drives like a rocket, lovely thing behind the wheel and inside. The power unit is beautiful. The gearbox is precise, none of the usual worn synchromeshes. The only mechanical criticism is that the electronic fan is on a button, rather than automatic.
It has the tick box new Burrwood dashboard and re-leather bound steering wheel, the expensive parts which always wear. It also has the Play Mini straight through twin pipe exhaust which has this classical roar.
In places the bodywork shows it’s age, a few small bubbles, but overall a very nice example at a very competitive price. Our client is unfortunate enough to need two operations and doesn’t want her sitting around during the eighteen month wait time, would rather someone enjoy her.
She has an MOT until late August 2026 with no advisories and a HPI clear certificate. She was comprehensively serviced a few months ago by a Mini Specialist and has done minimal miles since.
