For sale is a 1997 Rover Mini in pearlescent Tahiti Blue, with John Cooper styling, I believe it looks the same as when it left the factory. MOT until 30/01/2025. 77k Miles. The car has had a near full restoration with a recent respray including all exterior and interior doors and door shuts, including all new heritage panels where needed. Most consumable parts are new or reconditioned. I have a big stack of invoices. It's had thousands spent on a restoration and more thousands worth of new parts. Had a respray from Chameleon Classic Cars, followed by Old Skool Mini's, fitting a new dash rail, panel repair on both scuttles, new flitch panels, new A panels.

I purchased this car in 2019. As is the fate with a lot of classic cars, it stopped getting used because it wasn't complete. I am only selling as I haven't got room in the garage anymore and am storing it in someone else's garage currently. I have a lot of paper work for this car including its documentation of the reg change in 2009 from PIA 95 to YEZ 5492. It's a great car and I'm certain will be loved by its new owner. Next MOT due 30/01/2025, Blue, 3 owners, £8,999
