Description

Paul is proud to offer his 2000 (W reg), Mk7 Mini Cooper MPI Sportspack for sale in Dorset and owned since June 2009 with four previous owners under its belt. The Cooper MPI Sport, a rare and sought-after car, has undergone a 'ground up' restoration, costing in excess of 30k. This includes a two pack refinish, rebuilt, and upgraded engine, gearbox, new brakes, bushes, seals, rubbers and most recently, hi-low suspension, fuel pump and sender unit and sub-frame mountings. The car is a tasteful example of a 1.3i (MPI) Cooper Sport with optional Sportspack goodies, such as a Solar Red body and white roof and a sumptuous interior. The Cooper MPI Sport is a March 2000 badged as a 500, It is accompanied by its original handbooks, service books, service receipts, and both sets of keys. The Rover Cooper MPI Sportspack is the most iconic car, with the 1.3i being the more opulent and offering special orders. The beautiful red leather and cream interior is an example.The heavily revised post-1996 Mini sits on 13-inch wheels and features a wide bore stainless steel millennium exhaust system, recently uprated intake to the injection system. The car has a solid shell with vented sills and solid floor pans and a gleaming boot floor and engine bay. The Cooper MPI Sport offers a great driving experience with lovely bodywork and interior.
