Description from the seller

Mini - British Open Classic 1.3 - 1993

GENERAL:

A unique and fully original Rover Mini British Open Classic in fantastic condition. This Mini is not only remarkable because of its variant, but also thanks to its excellent condition and well-documented history.

The car comes from the second owner, who has maintained it with great care and attention. In 2016 the Mini underwent a technical restoration, which is clearly visible in the overall condition and driving experience. With an odometer reading of 29,500 km, this is a very attractive specimen for the enthusiast.

BODYWORK & PAINT:

The Mini is finished in the classic British Racing Green metallic, characteristic of the British Open edition. The paint is in neat condition without notable damage and gives the car a fresh and well-kept appearance.

The car is equipped with original British Open decals and gold striping, matching mirrors and a large electric sunroof that functions perfectly and adds real value to the driving experience.

The chrome parts, including bumpers, grille and headlamp rims, are in excellent condition and have been partly renewed. In addition, the car is equipped with stainless steel front and rear fog lights, which contribute to a sporty look.

The original 12" Minilight wheels are in very good condition and are fitted with good Yokohama A539 tires. The bodywork is rust-free, tight and well-maintained, with a neat finish around the exterior.

TECHNICAL:

The Mini is equipped with the original 1275cc carburetted engine, good for around 63 hp. This engine is known for its reliability and characterful driving behavior.

The car starts, runs and shifts splendidly, both cold and warm. The manual four-speed gearbox functions as it should. The Mini has been correctly maintained and is technically in a roadworthy condition without known faults.

In addition, the car is fitted with a sporty exhaust system that provides a deep and characterful sound. A restoration and revision report with photos is available, underscoring the care and investment in this car.

INTERIOR:

The interior is finished with original MK5 British Open seats in beige fabric, combined with matching door panels. They are in used condition with light signs of age, appropriate to the car’s character.

The headlining is very neat, and the interior is further enhanced by a stylish walnut dashboard with three gauges and green dials. The original beige leather steering wheel and sun visors are present and in neat condition.

The carpet set is well-kept and equipped with matching floor mats, contributing to the well-maintained appearance of the interior.

DOCUMENTS:

The car comes with a restoration and revision report with photographic material. The mileage is 29,500 km (observed).

PICK-UP:

The Mini is available for viewing in Rogat (Meppel), Netherlands. You are warmly invited to arrange a viewing and test drive by appointment via Catawiki.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The underbody is very solid, with sturdy sills and rust-free subframes. The underside is finished in the body color and treated with a tectyl coating.

This Mini British Open Classic is a particularly nice and sporty classic with many extras and an excellent driving experience. With the large sunroof open, this Mini offers pure driving pleasure and a unique experience.

An attractive specimen for the enthusiast who is looking for an original, well-maintained and distinctive Mini.
