Description

Genuine 1991 Rover Mini Cooper with matching VIN and engine numbers, confirmed by the V5C. A comprehensively restored, documented example with just under 2,000 miles covered since restoration. The restoration was completed in 2017 with the aim of returning the car as closely as possible to its original factory specification while ensuring long-term reliability and drivability. The shell was completely stripped, inspected and professionally repaired where required, with all structural bodywork, paintwork and interior headlining completed by the renowned Wood & Pickett, one of Britain's most respected Mini specialists. The car was resprayed in the correct factory colour. Mechanically, the engine and gearbox were rebuilt from the ground up. The engine was rebored to +0.040" (approximately 1310cc), the crankshaft professionally balanced and the differential rebuilt. A brand new genuine rear subframe was fitted, while the front subframe was professionally reconditioned. The restoration was completed using genuine Mini Spares components together with high-quality parts from respected Mini specialists. The interior retains its original Cooper specification with the correct seats and door cards. The original Cooper steering wheel has been professionally re-leathered in January 2026 using the correct original leather specification with the iconic red stitching, returning it to factory appearance. The car sits on professionally refurbished original Minilite alloy wheels fitted with Falken 165/60 R12 tyres in excellent condition. The underside is exceptionally solid and has recently been cleaned and recoated with protective underbody treatment, providing continued corrosion protection and peace of mind for the next owner. The vehicle comes with a comprehensive history file including: - Documented restoration photographs - Wood & Pickett invoices - Mini Spares receipts - Supporting vehicle history - MOT valid until 8 January 2027 with no advisories - Stormforce four-layer all-weather car cover This Mini has been regularly maintained and enjoyed since restoration rather than simply stored, so there are a few very minor cosmetic signs of careful use consistent with its low mileage since restoration. It remains in excellent overall condition and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. Genuine reason for sale due to changing family circumstances. Viewing is welcomed by appointment. Sensible offers considered after viewing.
