Description

Number 54/500 cooper sport 500. Last 500 minis ever made. I have owned this car just over two years and never planned on selling but my circumstances have changed. I have done a lot to this car to get it where it is and back to its original state. Its had a whole new front end with heritage panels done by P and L Minis in Rotherham. The rest of the mechanical side was done by myself a chap who worked for me who is a mini enthusiast and trained mechanic. The car was a cat d (small front ender from what i can gather) and had a repair done by a non specialist mini garage to be put back on the road. Everything from the front doors onwards has been replaced and checked over by Liz and the team at P&L and it has no issues. The engine has had new coolant hoses, new thermostat, new temp sensor, new water pump, new expansion tank, new heater matrix, new rad, original rocker cover fitted, new internal temp control, waterless coolant, near gear link shifter, gearbox seal replaced with upgrade, oil change and I have fitted the gear selector spring from mini spares. Iv also taken the injection system off and given it a complete clean along with the fuel lines etc. I have also put a new stainless manifold and exhaust on albeit I have kept all the original parts. As you can read I have done a lot to the car and she runs beautifully. Just had her MOT and she flew through including an overall service and grease etc at Coventry Classic Minis. Really reluctant sale. Any questions let me know. Iv never struggled with any insurance due to the cat d status fyi. Next MOT due 14/08/2025, Full service history, Blue, 5+ owners, £15,000
