The appeal
The Mini Cooper Sport Pack represents one of the last evolutions of the classic Mini before production ceased in 2000, offering enhanced styling and equipment over standard models. This particular example is presented in the rare and sought-after 'Surfblue' colour with white roof, a combination often imitated but rarely authentic. Mini enthusiasts will notice that this 1998 Cooper Sport Pack features the distinctive small grille with four additional headlamps and the extended ABS body kit that characterised these special editions.
Acquired by its current owner in 2019, this Mini has benefited from rigorous maintenance, with several thousand euros invested in parts and servicing. According to the information provided, this charming little car has only been used occasionally for warm weather drives, never in the rain, and has always been kept in a closed garage. With a full exterior repaint in 2022 and a thorough mechanical overhaul, including timing chain, clutch and ball joints in April 2025, this Cooper Sport Pack offers a great opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of this increasingly sought-after classic.image.png1.78 MB
