Mini 1000 – 1986 – Cooper Look – Recently Overhauled Engine
A 1986 Mini 1000, styled in the Cooper spirit, maintained and improved over the years.
I'm parting with, not without regret, this little Mini that I've owned for 10 years.
It had already been given a makeover by its previous owner. Since acquiring it, I've continued to maintain it and make some aesthetic improvements to preserve its charm and character.
Recent Work and Key Points to Note
* Engine replaced in 2025 with a used unit, estimated to have approximately 20, 000 km on the clock
* Front subframe replaced
* Ignition system overhauled in 2025
* MOT: All clear
* Maintenance and improvements carried out during my 10 years of ownership
The bodywork sports a blue-grey colour that isn't the original shade, with a white roof and Cooper-inspired styling.
This is genuinely a Mini 1000 and not an original Cooper. Its look was created by previous owners and refined over time.
A Mini for Classic Car Enthusiasts
Above all, I'm looking for a buyer who will appreciate this little British car for what it is: a classic Mini with real personality, ideal for weekend drives, car meets and the sheer pleasure of driving an automobile that has become iconic today.
After 10 years together, parting with it is bittersweet, but I want to find a new owner who will enjoy driving it as much as I have.
