Bought at Auction 02/10/202150001991 ROVER MINI NEON The "Neon" was originally meant to be produced in Caribbean Blue Pearlecent, but problems with the new paint meant that the production version was made in Nordic Blue. The Neon featured chrome bumpers and door handles, grille surround and exhaust tailpipe. The exterior was finished with "Neon by Mini" decals, and the interior was treated to chevron velour with a Neon badge on the steering wheel. 1500 were produced in total. This Neon was previously acquired by an enthusiast around 6 years ago, who we understand invested over 4,000 on refurbishing the car, including a repaint in the original colour. The following owner had the Mini for around 2 years, in his ownership the Mini was maintained by a local specialist, and the interior was replaced with full Mini Equinox trim, new carpeting and new weather seals. The suspension was upgraded with adjustable shocks and four-spoke Revolution wheels sitting in wider arches, and treated to a row of rally spotlights to the front. The interior is in lovely order and very inviting, with a sporty wood-rimmed steering wheel and wood cappings to the dash and door. This Mini has been subject to much work in the past and after we bought it we have spent more money on welding, a new clutch pushrod, and general servicing. It has a new MOT (expires 05/24). We bought the car because it fits through our archway enabling parking on the property but selling as I have found driving a car this age is not for me! Next MOT due 09/05/2024, Blue, 5+ owners, £8,000
