1998 Rover Mini Cooper Sportspack 1.3 MPI Manual - 38,600 Miles 

 

This is a low mileage, matching-numbers and HPI clear example of the ultimate specification of Mini with the factory additional extra Sports-pack, finished in the most iconic colour combination of British Racing Green x Old English White. 

 

(a) Provenance 

 

Remarkably low mileage, no previous accidents or thefts or damage. She was originally owned by John Cooper Garages who themselves covered the first 6,000 miles over their 18 month ownership.

 

(b) The Ultimate Model 

 

These were the most powerful and reliable, the safest and highest quality models offered by the factory, the same experience, made for modern usage. They cost over 60% more to purchase in comparison to the previous model. This one has the factory additional Sportspack fitted with wider arches, larger wheels and extra spotlights, amongst other benefits. The full benefits of the final model are set-out below. 

 

After-market specification include the tick box brand new Burr-wood dashboard, stainless steel sports exhaust and Yokohama premium tyres, plus an Apple Play style system which mirrors your iPhone or Android. 

 

(c) Ready to Drive 

 

Having driven her for ten terribly fun hours from Aberdeen to Sheffield, through four hundred miles, I can confirm that she is amazing behind the wheel. She combines 600kg of weight with the legendary Monte Carlo Rally Winning handling. The only flaw is the usual second gear synchromesh weakness, you can't ram it in at high revs or you will gear a noise. 

 

She will be provided with 12 months MOT and a comprehensive service and she is solid throughout.
