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 originally delivered in the Netherlands on September 3, 1996. The MOT is valid until 14-05-2025. This is a carefully restored and well-maintained model with an automatic transmission and a 1.3 injection engine with 53 HP.
BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:
The car has been painted during restoration in an original light gray Mini color with a black roof. This gives the car a charming and classy appearance. The bodywork has been fully restored and equipped with new front and rear subframes, guaranteeing durability for the coming years.
MECHANICAL:
The engine has been rebuilt and the cylinder head features hardened valve seats and valves suitable for unleaded petrol. The automatic gearbox is entirely new. All technical components have been renewed, including the brakes, fuel injection system, and the stainless steel exhaust system. In addition, the car is equipped with RSX 519 adjustable suspension with Krypton gas-filled shock absorbers, a larger aluminum radiator with an additional electric fan, ventilated twin-disc brakes at the front and a brake booster. The LED headlights and indicators provide better illumination, with the original headlights still available.
INTERIOR:
The interior is fully trimmed in full leather in red with a gray piping. The car is equipped with an electrically operated panoramic sliding roof and rear side windows. The tailgate is equipped with luggage nets.
DOCUMENTS:
The car is sold with a valid license plate (PL) and MOT until May 14, 2025. When sold outside the Netherlands, the export document can be provided. All technical and maintenance information is available.
PICK-UP:
Viewing and information are possible only by appointment via phone through Catawiki. Transport can be arranged in consultation.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The revised and renewed suspension system provides outstanding road handling with an emphasis on comfort. Driving this Mini is a real treat: the automatic shifts smoothly and the engine runs fantastically. This makes this Mini not only a responsible investment but also a source of a lot of driving pleasure.
Seller's Story

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.
