Description from the seller
FEATURED:
• Special British Open Classic series, model year 1994
• Complete body restoration carried out in 2025
• Mechanical regeneration with original components in 2023 and new clutch (2025)
• Sport-tuned suspension with new springs and shocks installed in 2026
• New tires and wheels (June 2026), with the original set available with the car
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Introduced in the early 1990s within the Rover Mini range, the special British Open Classic version celebrates the tradition of British sporty compact cars by pairing distinctive styling details with an open-top configuration featuring a full-width fabric roof. Equipped with the proven A Series 1.3-liter fuel-injected engine, this special edition combines the model’s unmistakable road handling with the pleasure of open-air driving. The example offered, dating from 1994, has undergone extensive conservative restoration and mechanical renewal completed between 2023 and 2026.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The body has been completely restored in 2025 and presents in excellent conservational condition, free from scratches and without signs of rust; the vehicle has never been in collisions or accidents. The floors, chassis and underbody are sound and corrosion-free. The seals have been replaced with new ones and the chrome is well preserved and shiny. It wears new tires and wheels installed in June 2026; the original wheels are kept and included with the package.
INTERIORS:
The cabin remains in its original configuration with original leather upholstery and fittings well maintained, and the original carpeting in excellent condition. The installed dashboard is in good preserved condition and a second new spare dashboard is supplied. The electrical system was renewed after the restoration and all onboard utilities and instruments are fully functional.
MECHANICS:
The engine was completely rebuilt in 2023 using original parts; the vehicle starts reliably, operating smoothly both cold and hot. The manual gearbox is fully efficient and paired with a new clutch kit replaced in 2025. In 2026 a sport suspension kit with dedicated new shock absorbers and springs was also installed. The car is in roadworthy condition and does not require immediate intervention.

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.

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.
