The Appeal
Here we have one of the final evolutions of the iconic Mini, featuring the multi-point fuel injection system that improved both performance and reliability. This 1997 example combines classic Mini charm with comparatively modern drivability, making it an appealing option for enthusiasts seeking a usable classic.
Originally delivered in Germany and now registered in Poland, this Mini has benefited from significant recent attention, including a major restoration in 2023 and mechanical servicing in early 2025. The combination of its distinctive pistachio leather interior, fresh paint, and various upgrades makes this a characterful example that stands out from standard Minis of the era.DSC09675 (Copy).jpg6.02 MB
