SUMMARY
A well travelled, left-hand drive, limited edition 998cc Mini from long term ownership offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- The limited edition 'Mini Racing Green' was based on the Mini City and was available from April 1989 to February 1990
- They were finished in BRG Metallic with a white roof, chrome bumpers and grille and coach-lines with 'Racing' logo
- This left-hand drive example was originally registered in Spain, but brought into the UK in 1994. Purchased by its current owner in 2003
- He later moved with it to Italy in 2014, where it was registered (EN115NJ). It was subsequently garaged for seven years due to ill health, but brought back to the UK in 2024 and re-registered on 23/10/2024 as F940 SUU
- Fitted with a Stage 1 kit in the past and we understand was resprayed in 2009
- Subject to much work and a number of upgrades in the last two years (See Condition Report)
- N.B. In 1997 the car was an Insurance 'Cat D' (write off) but has been rebuilt in to the attractive little Mini you see today
