AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

General

This Rover Mini 1.3i Automatic was built in 1996 and has a mileage of 36,525 km. The car was newly delivered in the Netherlands on September 3, 1996. The APK is valid until May 14, 2025. It concerns a carefully restored and well-maintained version with an automatic transmission and a 1.3 injection engine with 53 HP.

Bodywork & Paint Shop

The car has been spray-painted during restoration in an original light gray Mini color with a black roof. This gives the car a charming and chic appearance. The bodywork has been fully restored and fitted with new front and rear subframes, ensuring durability for the years to come.

Technical

The engine has been overhauled, and the cylinder head is equipped with hard valve seats and valves suitable for unleaded petrol. The automatic transmission is completely new. All technical components have also been renewed, including the brakes, the injection system, and the stainless steel exhaust system. Furthermore, the car is equipped with an RSX 519 adjustable suspension with Krypton gas-filled shock absorbers, a larger aluminum radiator with an additional electric fan, ventilated double disc brakes at the front, and a brake booster. The LED headlights and turn signals provide better illumination, with the original headlights still available.

INTERIOR:

The interior is fully finished in full leather in the color red with a grey piping. The car is equipped with an electrically operated panoramic sliding roof and rear side windows. The tailgate is fitted with luggage bags.

Documents

The car is sold with a valid license plate (PL) and a vehicle inspection valid until May 14, 2025. For sales outside the Netherlands, an export document can be provided. All technical and maintenance information is available.

AFHALING

Viewing and information are only available by appointment via Catawiki. Transport can be arranged upon consultation.

Other Information

The modified and renewed suspension system provides excellent road handling with an emphasis on comfort. Driving this Mini is a real treat: the automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the engine runs fantastically. This makes this Mini not only a responsible investment but also a source of great driving enjoyment.


Seller's Story

Hobbyist seller of classic automobiles. Only satisfied if the customer is also satisfied. Prepared to guide and assist customers completely, even after the purchase. Selling classic automobiles is not just about money; it is primarily about emotion and passion, always.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
