Lot details Registration No: R602GGO Chassis No: EWD147633 Mot Expiry: May 2005
This Mini Cooper, a pre-BMW Mini, first left the Rover works in 1997. The righthand drive sports saloon with sensational limpet-like handling - thanks to front-wheel drive and a wheel at each corner - is finished in the original metallic orange with white roof and has a full black leather interior with John Cooper crested headrests and a wood dash. The transversely-mounted 4-cylinder motor is of 1275cc capacity, the wheels wide Minilite-type alloys.
Currently, bodyshell, paintwork and trim, as well as engine, transmission and electrics, are described as all being in excellent condition. Importantly for Mini collectors, too, there is full service history on file, whilst the 36,000 miles displayed on the odometer when entered for today's sale is believed by the vendor to the genuine total mileage for the car since new.
A really super Mini, this, either to stash away or to take out and enjoy in the lanes as designer Issigonis intended. A Cooper version of one of the greatest working design icons of the 20th century is the one to have, of course.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
