Recently repatriated from Japan, this iteration of the world automotive icon is the Rover Mini Cooper 1.3 SPi (single point injection). Finished in what must surely be the most desired colour combination of Metallic British Racing Green with Black interior, this beautiful example has only covered some 94,295km, equating to approximately 58,934 miles. Since arrival on UK shores the car has been UK registered on the age-related plate 'R270 KDS'.
A MPH speedometer face has been fitted for UK road use, whilst the odometer continues to read ongoing KMH. This Japanese market model had air conditioning as standard, and is reportedly working effectively on this car. The specification also includes Black leather front seats, genuine factory fitment Minilite-style alloy wheels, and an alloy sump guard.
The Mini has recently benfitted from a full service, including replacing the front brake discs using EBC brake pads along with Mintex rear brake shoes. All fluids and filters have been replaced along with the spark plugs. The clutch master and slave cylinders have also been changed for genuine items and a new battery fitted. She drives as you'd expect of such an icon, with that classic Mini feel and handling and is described by the vendor as a 'rust and damage free car'. The Minilite-style wheels are all in very good condition and overall the Mini presents as a very clean car with only the odd stone chip and marks commensurate with use. Exceedingly good condition underneath with no visible corrosion to the floor or sub frames, those areas have been treated the 'rust-free' underneath of this car with Lanoguard long-lasting rust protection to help ensure its longevity. Offered complete with all the original handbooks and Japanese service history, the Mini is also offered with the V5C and an MOT until 18th of August 2024.
