This Rover Mini Cooper is a characterful and popular modern classic British city car, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.3-litre inline-four, delivering around 46kW to the front wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example is understood to have originally been a Japan-delivered model, which was recently imported to Australia, and passed compliance in August 2024 but remains unregistered. It has been with the seller for three years. The odometer indicates 38,718 Kms, which the seller believes to be accurate, though this is not warranted. This Mini Cooper is finished in a bold shade of red with a contrasting gloss white roof and twin racing stripes, as well as chrome trim elements, over a grey part vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring multicoloured patterned seat and door card inserts. It rides on a set of 12-inch RAD Minilite alloy wheels fitted with Yokohama A539 tyres. Equipment includes a heated rear screen, air conditioning, and push-out rear quarter light windows. This example has been fitted with twin front spotlights, bullet-style door mirrors, a central-exit exhaust system, chrome wheel arch covers, and a Pioneer Carrozzeria CD stereo with USB and auxiliary inputs. One ignition key is included in the sale. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. This Mini Cooper’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in September 2022 by Jap Division Motor Sports, which consisted of the front wheel bearings being replaced. Technicians at Jap Division Motor Sports replaced the spark plugs, replaced the vacuum hose, and carried out a tune up in August 2022. Major maintenance was carried out in July 2022 at an indicated 35,860 Kms by Mechnicar, which included an engine oil and filter change, new air and fuel filters, the spark plugs replaced, the inner and outer CV joints replaced, a new pair of rack boots fitted, the front shock absorbers being replaced, new lower control arm bushes and pivot pins installed, four new caster bushes fitted, and some rust cleaned down and the area repainted. This Rover Mini Cooper is an endearing modern classic British city car, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Presented with a vibrant colour scheme, iconic styling, and boasting a peppy inline-four engine coupled to a smooth-shifting automatic gearbox, it would make an enjoyable companion for retro daily driving, weekend cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
