Introduced in October 1996, the so-called MK7 or MPi Mini was the last evolution of Alec Issigonis' iconic design. Boasting a front-mounted radiator, driver's airbag, taller final drive ratio, multipoint fuel injection and side impact door bars etc, it proved a fitting swansong for one of the world's favourite cars. Only in production from March to October 2000, the Mini Classic Cooper Sport could be distinguished from earlier 'Sport Pack' equipped Coopers by its Platinum (rather than OEW) roof and bonnet stripes. The model's widened wheelarches housed 13x6 alloy wheels, while inside it featured an alloy dashboard as well as alloy window winders, door pulls and door handles. A be-winged green Mini motif appeared on the steering wheel but the choice of exterior colours was limited to Solar Red, British Racing Green, Anthracite or Tahiti Blue. Regardless of their exterior hue, all Mini Classic Cooper Sports carried Nickel Silver leather seats with Black facings.
Purchased new from Seawood's Rover, Christchurch on 11th October 2000, just a week before production of the original Mini ended, this stunning example has covered just c.3200 miles from new. Finished in gleaming Tahiti Blue with a stickered (and therefore easily removeable) Union Jack applied to the Platinum Silver roof, the car was displayed centre stage at Beaulieu's 50th Anniversary Mini Day meeting and was the lowest mileage example present. Complete with distinctive and appropriate cherished registration number, X100 PER is offered with Swansea V5C, sundry invoices, car cover and current MoT.
