The Charm

 
The Mini Cooper remains one of the most iconic cars of all time. This authentic Brit with its cheeky look is a city car full of character. In the 1990s, it was refined to meet modern demands, notably thanks to its single-point fuel injection engine, which improved everyday drivability and reliability.
 
Originally Dutch and now registered in France, this Mini benefits from a well-documented history, backed by invoices dating back to 2014, technical inspection certificates (contrôle technique) and its registration documents. Over the years, maintenance has covered the bodywork, suspension, transmission, steering, cooling, braking and engine mechanics. A cooling system overhaul was carried out in 2021. In 2025, a major service addressed the engine, suspension rubber bushings, steering, steering and hub ball joints, plus replacement of all four tires and the battery.
 
The equipment is enhanced with 13-inch Sportspack alloy wheels, a sport exhaust line, a Moto-Lita steering wheel, a burl walnut dashboard and a trio of Smiths gauges.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights under European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you remain covered by the Car & Classic terms and conditions. 
✓ We require non-refundable fees to be paid if you are the winning bidder or your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific pricing. 
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly, just like you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to confirm they carry no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to finance, so you can bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide salvage category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for collecting or delivering the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can help. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
