Description from the seller
IN RISALTO:
• Mini 998 model with a roll-cage-equipped bodywork and 1380 A Group engine
• Supplied with ACI Sport Regularity Fiche (Category T, Period J2, Type 3C, Fiche “Race”)
• Competition-ready setup with welded roll-bar, full racing instrumentation, and intercom system
• Regularly registered, plated, and insured for competition and road use
STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The Mini, originally conceived as a revolutionary city car, has earned a place of distinction in motorsport history thanks to its exceptional dynamic qualities, low center of gravity, and distinctive “kart-type” setup. This example, based on a Mini 998 (as per circulation documents), has been transformed into a true Group A competition car with the engine brought to 1380 cc. The car is equipped with ACI Sport Fiches and is eligible to participate in official track, hill climb, and regularity events. Being a regularly plated and registered specimen, it combines competitive specifications with the possibility of road use.
CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The shell is in sound and well-preserved condition. As a full race-ready build, the car includes a welded roll-bar to the chassis. The seller confirms the structure is free from significant structural defects.
INTERNI:
The cabin is set up with professional racing specifications for competition. Equipment includes a dedicated racing dashboard with complete instrumentation (gauges, road trip, road map, digital chronograph and digital odometer), an intercom system for pilot-navigator communication with headsets, hydraulic handbrake in aluminum, fire suppression system, and an external engine-off switch compliant with ACI Sport race regulations.
MECCANICA:
The engine is a prepared 1380 cc unit with twin HS6 carburetors, a sports camshaft, lightweight aluminum rocker arms, and a dedicated racing oil cooler. The suspension features adjustable competition setup, carbon exhaust with direct-tube routing, front racing brake calipers and lightweight rear drum brakes. The car is perfectly road-legal.
DOCUMENTI:
The car is supplied with circulation documents and Italian license plates in good order for ownership transfer. Equipped with ACI Sport Fiche for competitions.
PS. The car is registered with regular Italian documents “ready for transfer” for Italy. Being a racing passport vehicle, it is eligible to participate in all sport events and on-track activities and is regularly insured for on-track use; for street circulation in Italy, the roll-bar would need to be removed to pass the biennial Italian inspection (not required for track and competition, but necessary for road use). For track use, a roll-bar and insurance in Italy and Europe are required; if you want to use it on public roads, the roll-bar must be removed and the 79€ Italian inspection performed.
It is advisable to verify with your destination country.

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.
