In Brief:

  • Good example of a Mini Cooper Sport
  • Finished in rare Moreno Cherry with white bonnet stripes and a white roof over a black and cream leather interior
  • Owned by the current registered keeper for the last 2 years
  • Recent mechanical attention totalling £1,450
  • Comes with Service Portfolio displaying 3 stamps

On the Surface:

A good example of a late-‘90s Rover Mini Cooper Sport, this car is finished in the rarely seen Moreno Cherry, complemented by white bonnet stripes and a white roof—a classic Mini combination. The exterior is contrasted by a black and cream leather interior. It rides on the correct Mini Cooper Sport alloy wheels and is accompanied by its unused original spare wheel.

Maintenance & History:

With just 3 former keepers from new and long-term ownership by one lady from 1999 to 2022, this Mini’s history is well traceable. It has clearly been driven and enjoyed, rather than tucked away and has benefited from upkeep reflecting practical use and mechanical care over the years. This Mini has been regularly used and maintained, with recent mechanical attention in 2022 totalling £1,450, which included welding, new front subframe bushes, rear brake work, and a full service. The car comes with a decent history file, which includes MOT certificates, various invoices, and the original Rover Mini bookpack. The service portfolio within the pack contains 3 service stamps and one handwritten entry, covering services carried out between 1999 (1,090 miles) and 2007 (21,448 miles). The current mileage of 93,791 is genuine.

The Model:

The 1999 Mini Cooper Sport represents one of the final evolutions of the classic Mini, before production ceased in 2000. These late cars were well-equipped from the factory, with features like full leather interiors, 13" alloy wheels, sportier trim detailing and revised drivetrain components.

Sale Insight:

This Mini Cooper Sport is a great choice for those looking for a genuine, late-model Mini with honest provenance, a rare colour and a solid maintenance track record.

Estimate:
£4,500 - £5,500
