Lot details

Registration No: T755 GAN
Chassis No: SAXXNWAZEXD172323
MOT: June 2025

  • 1 of just 250 UK-supplied 40 limited editions and 1 of just 50 in this colour scheme
  • Just c.53,650 miles from new and only three former keepers
  • In the current Mini-enthusiast ownership since 2016
  • Pleasingly unmolested example and offered with a history file

The Mini 40 was launched in 1999 to mark the 40th anniversary of the production of the Mini. Based upon the latter day Cooper S and therefore using the multi-point fuel injection engine, only 800 examples were manufactured, of which a mere 250 were earmarked for supply to the home market. The penultimate Mini limited-edition model produced and suitably luxuriously appointed, the '40' boasted a full-leather interior with piping complemented by a brushed-alloy dash incorporating additional instruments and a radio/CD player. The dashboard top was leather as were the gear-knob grip and door pockets. The driver's airbag and front seatbelt tensioners were other features unheard of when the original had been launched, while externally, a large bore exhaust finisher, twin driving lamps, body-colour wheel-arch extensions and 13" Minilite-style alloy wheels shod with low profile tyres, enhanced the look, as did spotlights and a bonnet badge with an embossed gold crest.

One of the 250 UK-supplied examples, ‘T775 GAN’ was sold new via Faraday Rover of Newbury, being first registered on the 30th April 1999. Finished in the classic Island Blue paintwork (1 of 50) with Prussian Blue leather interior upholstery, the '40' was purchased into the current Mini enthusiast and serial-Mini owner's hands in 2016 and has been an attendee of numerous Mini shows and events whilst in their possession. Now offered displaying just 53,650 miles from new, this limited edition Mini has just three former keepers. Pleasingly unmolested and presented in the original specification, the '40' is offered with a history file that includes the original book pack in the Mini wallet containing the owner’s handbook and stamped service book, MOT history, and a current V5C document, as well as the original jack. A very rare Mini variant, especially as a UK-supplied example, that would grace any collection.
