My name is Paul, as a private seller I for sale my stunning 2000, Mk7 Mini Cooper MPI Sportspack. Its premium priced reflects its supreme condition and rarity. Mini Cooper make an excellent proposition: iconic, fun to drive, amazing handling, excellent performance even by today's standards; in particular, Mk7 Cooper MPI Sports. Mk7 will put an instant smile on your face, admiring glances and public affection. There is not much that can be added to an introduction regarding the Cooper MPI Sportspack (Cooper Sport). I have owned the Cooper Sport since 2009, with just four owners under its belt. Registered March 2000 badged as a 500; with plague in the glove box and interior enhancements (see photographs). Restored to the original specification fixtures and fittings, original handbooks and service books as both sets of keys. An example of recent MOT: May 2025 36,822 - Pass with no advisories. Finished in Solar Red and Old English White roof with a sumptuous half-leather interior (see photos). This combination was available on the optional extras list and is seldom seen, it really suits the Mini shape and gives it a baby Rolls Royce appeal. The Cooper Sport was the final edition of the classic Mini. Each car was built by BMW to a remarkably high specification, Sportspack wheel arches, 13'' alloy wheels. Factory fitted alarm and immobilizer, side impact beams. Fitted with the most often talked about "high lift rockers", the main reason "high lift" rockers, easy bolt on performance. The "high lift" rockers provide a ratio of 1.5 vs the stock 1.25. (The "roller tip" type also has a 1.5 ratio). Valve clearances then opened up by .003" over recommended settings. Using the 1.5 ratio not only increases the maximum lift, but it also means that the valve is open approximately 20% more at any given point- although opening and closing periods remain the same. This vastly improves volumetric efficiency and therefore power output. All this, with the other upgrades giving an extra 15 to 20 per cent power over the original 85bhp and she handles it well. Restoration (costing in excess of 40k). Including two pack refinish, completely waxoiled to future proof the body. Rebuilt, and upgraded engine, gearbox includes advanced baulk rings and selector forks, taller gearing so long-distance cruising is a breeze. New: brakes, bushes, seals, rubbers, front screen, original spec roof lining. Upgrade to hi-low suspension. Immaculate, no rust, one of the best ever offered for sale.
