AUCTION CLOSED

1991 Rover Mini Cooper

Introduction

Lovely restoration and solid example - dry stored 1991 Mini Cooper!

I have owned this lovely Rover Mini Cooper for the past 10 years.

The car has been an absolute joy and a privilege to own, a beautiful example.

However, now with a family in toe it is time to sell it to someone who has the time to keep it in this wonderful condition and to take it to shows and use it as I just don't have the time to use it anymore, hence the reason for sale.

This listing was written from information supplied by XXXXX after meeting XXXXX the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Exterior

I love the beautiful paintwork which I have kept up to by waxing and polishing - the Red with the white roof has always been my favourite colour combination with the white Cooper body stripes.

Wheels and Tyres

The wheels are Cooper Minilite 13 inch alloys and all are in good condition - please see the pictures.

There is a full size spare in the boot.

Bodywork

As you can see the body work is in excellent condition (refurb was done 10+ years ago before my ownership).

No rust In the usual spots on the wings either.

The underneath of the car is in fantastic condition again nice and solid.

Paint

The car was resprayed during the restoration, around 10+ years ago.

As mentioned it has been polished and waxed in my ownership and is in great condition for the age of the car.

Glass and Trim

Glass and trim is in good condition with no crack and chips all the chrome and rubbers are present and correct and in great condition.

All the windows open and close as they should.

Mechanics

1275cc engine which was rebuilt with a high lift cam from Kent Cams.

Engine and Gearbox

The engine benefits from a high lift cam and pulls really well - it has always been very reliable and comes with electric start which transforms the experience.

We also have the K&N air filter and stainless steel sports exhaust.

The 4 speed gearbox is in excellent condition and works very well going into gear with no issues.

Suspension and Brakes

Brakes are discs all round and the car benefits from a new suspension set up from restoration.

The Drive

This car is so much fun to drive and starts first time with no issues - it has been run on Super Unleaded and pulls well and is quick.

Corners brilliantly and really gets down the road well.

As said before the 4 speed gearbox goes as it should and the engine and exhaust sound brilliant.

No smoke or reliability issues.

Electrics and Other

There are few electrics on this but the ones that are there are all working, no issues.

From Trade Classics:

This is a Market Auction listing, meaning we have not visited and photographed the car - instead the seller has supplied the images and written the description. However we’ve done all our usual seller checks, including photo ID that matches the V5, and also actioned a history check on the vehicle - this is a professional check operated by HPi that will highlight if the car has been previously stolen, recorded as being in an accident, or have any outstanding finance - note, this does not include a mileage history check. The check brought back that the Mini was a category N insurance loss claimed on 13.05.1993, and then it was subject to a condition inspection on 06.01.1995.

Viewings are welcomed, so please get in touch with us via the 'contact us' page - we just need to speak to you first on the phone, have you register on the site, and also send in valid photo ID before confirming a suitable time to visit.

Like all our auctions, if there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bids, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - the Buyer's Premium is not refundable in any instance, just like a traditional auction house.
