Description

1992 Rover Mini Cooper RSP in black with a white roof, bonnet stripes and mirrors. The RSP (Rover Special Product) was made by John Cooper to reintroduce the mini Cooper back into production. From 1971 - 1990 the mini Cooper was not made and the only available cars were 998cc minis. John Cooper fitted an MG Metro 1275cc engine to a Mini 30 plus added some Cooper touches like bonnet stripes, white roof, and Minilite alloy wheels and of the 1650 made, 1050 were produced for the UK market. Due to the success of this car the mini Cooper then sold for an additional 10 years until the new BMW mini was made. This example is one of the last registered and is in excellent condition. It has been dearly loved by all 6 previous owners and has only covered 12,510 recorded miles from new. The only non original items are the Yokohama tyres, rear exhaust silencer and it now has height adjustable suspension. In addition a bespoke piano black dashboard has been added to bring an element of modernity to the driving experience allowing for an Alpine Tablet to be installed with apple car play. (All original mounts etc still in hand) Historic file also available with supporting documents that cover servicing, MOT's and mileage validation. I also have the original book pack and both sets of keys. The interior is also immaculate and it is hard to believe that the car is 33 years old! The RSP minis have a reputation of driving well and this one feels responsive and precise and great fun. The carburettor Mini Coopers like this have a strong following as they are easy to maintain and service and have a more traditional Mini feel to them. This would make an enjoyable mini to own while also being an exciting long term investment.
