AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
History and specifications
This Rover Mini Cooper Sport 1.3i MPI belongs to the final generation of the classic Minis, which, after more than forty years in production, were discontinued at the end of 2000. The late 1.3i MPI models are among the most refined and technically advanced versions of the classic Mini. They are equipped with multi-point injection, making them more reliable and user-friendly than the older carburetor models.
The Cooper Sport variant is distinguished by wider wheel arches, 13-inch alloy wheels, a sport exhaust and front fog lights. The larger wheels and wider tires also contribute to more stable handling and excellent driving characteristics.
This Mini is finished in the characteristic color combination of the Last 500 Edition, with the gray roof, gray striping and the matching interior with leather seats, aluminum dashboard and aluminum details. Although this car does not belong to the numbered final 500 units, it does have the same distinctive specification and appearance.
Vehicle description
Bodywork and paint
The body is in very good condition. The paint is beautiful and even and shows no notable scratches or dents. There is no visible rust. The rubber seals, windows, chrome trim and lighting are in good condition. No welding work is needed and the bodywork has a very well-kept appearance.
Technical condition
The Mini is mechanically in good condition. The engine starts well and runs smoothly, and the gearbox shifts smoothly as well. The car drives smoothly and as it should. Brakes, tires, suspension, belts and clutch are in good condition. The rear suspension and alternator have been renewed. There are no obvious leaks. The Mini has always been well maintained and is in good drivable condition both when cold and when warm.
Interior and condition of the vehicle
The interior is in very good and well-kept condition. The original seats, upholstery, headliner, dashboard and door panels are well preserved. The original parts are retained and the interior has not been restored. The electrical systems function properly, including the lighting, gauges, switches, fan and other electrical functions.

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.

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.
