Description from the seller
GENERAL
This 1995 Rover Mini MK2 belongs to a coveted limited edition that pays homage to John Cooper's legacy, the man who turned Sir Alec Issigonis's economical original design into a true "giant-slayer" of competition. Although externally it retains the iconic silhouette and charm of the original MK1, this mid-90s unit incorporates modern conveniences and the improved reliability of Rover's latest series. It perfectly embodies the Mini's duality: a car initially designed for shopping trips and fuel saving, but which ended up dominating the world's most demanding rallies thanks to its agility and Cooper’s tuning. This unit is in exceptionally good used condition and has passed the MOT every year without interruption.
BODYWORK AND PAINT
The bodywork is in magnificent condition, boasting a deep, bright finish that highlights the model’s compact yet muscular dimensions. It is free of rust, a critical point in these vehicles, and only shows minimal aesthetic defects typical of careful use, as seen in the photographs on the hood area due to the latches. This version is especially striking for its ultra-wide wheels, which not only improve grip and stability but also give it that sporty look so characteristic of the era’s preparations.
MECHANICS
The mechanical section is in excellent condition, demonstrating the Rover Series A engine’s robustness. The car runs perfectly and has recently proven its reliability after successfully completing a 500-kilometer trip with no issues. The gearbox shifts smoothly and precisely, maintaining impeccable dynamic behavior both cold and once at optimal operating temperature. It is a unit ready to be enjoyed from the first moment, whether in urban runs or road trips.
INTERIOR
The cabin is an ode to the exclusivity of John Cooper editions. It features full leather upholstery with the logo engraved and the specific instrumentation, where the gauges bear John Cooper’s signature, a detail that sets it apart from standard versions. The interior remains completely original and has been treated with extreme care, as shown in the photo report, though a minor trim piece may be missing without any structural importance. The undercarriage of the vehicle is practically immaculate, showing only some light surface rust on wear parts, entirely normal given its use.
DOCUMENTATION
The vehicle has all the proper documentation to drive in Spain. Its favorable annual technical inspection (ITV) history confirms maintenance has been carried out rigorously. As a limited edition linked to John Cooper’s name, its value as a collectible is supported by the specific finish details listed on the car, certifying it as a superior variant within the 90s Mini range.
PICK-UP
The car is safeguarded in Madrid, Spain. If purchased, the new owner will have a ten-day free storage period at our facilities to facilitate organization of collection or the transport service to its new destination.
OTHER INFORMATION
Owning this Mini is owning a piece of history that remains as relevant and fun today as it was in the 60s. It’s the perfect combination for those seeking Issigonis’s retro style with Cooper’s sporty spark and the reliability of a more modern mechanicals. Its legendary agility makes it the ideal companion for those seeking pure, direct driving sensations, always keeping that smile that only a limited-edition Mini can provoke.
