SUMMARY
A rare find from a private Collection requiring light recommissioning and offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- In May 1992 the Mini Sprite became the entry level to the range, replacing the Mini City. It used the 53bhp 1,275cc engine and featured chrome bumpers, a chrome Mini badge on the boot and 'Sprite' graphics on the rear panels
- This example is finished in Flame Red with a white roof over grey fabric classic 1990s Rover pattern interior with matching door cards
- On offer from a private Collection where it has resided for some eight years. It does run and drive but will require a light recommissioning prior to returning to the road
- Supplied with a history file containing many service invoices and receipts with records of early servicing completed by Beadles Rover in Kent
- Offered without Reserve, this cracking little Mini is guaranteed to generate some good interest
