2000 ROVER MINI COOPER - 7,909 MILES

KEY FACTS

• A superbly presented, very low-mileage Mini Cooper from the last full year of production, with desirable options and interesting provenance.
• Under the bonnet is a 1275cc inline-four cylinder engine that drives the front wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.
• In current ownership for over 10 years and been stored in a humidity-controlled garage with use on dry days.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The car was originally acquired by The Tea Company, to be given away in a competition, and since then it has been owned by a few dedicated enthusiasts.
• Presented in attractive Tahiti Blue pearlescent paint with contrasting white roof, this Cooper rides on its original 12-inch alloy wheels. It features the optional chequered-flag bonnet stripes, front fog lamps and chrome bumper over-riders with corner bars.

• The interior is specified with smart black half-leather ‘Monaco’ seat facings and black carpet. It was also specified with the alloy door furniture accessory pack.

CONDITION

• This Mini Cooper is in exceptional condition with the vendor describing it as “virtually as-new”. The Tahiti Blue paint has a deep lustre and sets off the immaculate brightwork well. The only points to note are one cracked fog lamp glass and some minor lacquer peel to the alloys where balancing weights have previously been applied.
• The underside of the vehicle is as impressive as the bodywork having been given a preserving clear Waxoyl treatment in 2011.
• The interior of this Cooper is also superbly presented, with very few signs of use and no unsightly wear.
