Description
This Mini Cooper Sportspack was originally registered in 2000 and is presented in iconic British Racing Green with a silver roof and body decals a black and silver leather upholstery. Under the bonnet resides a 1275cc multipoint injection engine producing around 62bhp through a four-speed manual transmission. Specification highlights include 13” Sportspack alloy wheels, a bank of four Rallye-style fog and spot lamps, a silver sportspack dash alloy interior trim, a leather steering wheel and a three-clock binnacle with magnolia-faced dials.
This Mini boasts 45k miles from new and has been cherished by its enthusiast owners.
The British Racing Green paintwork presents well with a deep lustre and no visible rust, whist the tinted glass, chrome and trim are all in excellent order. The cabin is in splendid, clean condition with some charming patina. The rear seats appear barely used. The boot and engine bay present very well and the 1275cc multi-point injection engine is sprightly and starts first turn of the key.
The Mini has been recently serviced and a recent MOT with no advisories. Supplied with the Mini are two sets of original keys and fobs and a comprehensive history including a new rear subframe and total refurbishment. Coming out of the factory, this final generation of classic Mini (1996-2001) was the most powerful, the most reliable, the safest, the most fuel efficient and comfiest, the most useable and fun of all factory produced Mini’s. It was a game changer, combining the high performance Cooper engine with reliable modern injection technology, with air bags and crash beams, a higher ratio fourth gear for motorways, significant sound deadening for longer journeys. They were so far improved that on their launch the price ramped up by 63% (1995 vs 1996), today they are significantly more expensive than your standard Mini and therefore much sought after.
