SUMMARY
A fine example of the modern-classic Rover Mini Cooper with low ownership and recent work. Offered at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- With production of the original Mini shape having ended in 2000, this 1998 Cooper is a late example of the timeless compact classic
- A well presented and original example of the diminutive sports car, it benefits from the more powerful 63bhp 1.3-litre MPi injection engine
- It's finished in Flame Red with a white roof over a smart interior in black-piped Magnolia leather with Cooper-spec accents and a handsome wood veneer dashboard
- With just 96,000 miles and only two former keepers, this Mini has recently benefitted from some recommissioning work (to brakes and suspension) and is accompanied by much service history
