Auctioneer’s Notes:

A charming and well-presented example of the ever-popular Rover Mini Cooper, finished in highly desirable factory colour combination of British Racing Green with an Almond White roof and bonnet stripes. Showing 69,044 miles, this example benefits from long-term ownership and a clearly cherished history, complemented by tasteful period features including “Crayon” design seats, original radio/cassette player and a stainless steel exhaust. A reluctant sale due to health reasons, offering an honest and usable classic Mini with strong road presence.

This Mini is supplied with its original service book displaying four stamps, along with the original owner’s handbook, warranty booklet and supporting information pack. The history file is well-rounded, including MOT certificates (both historic and recent), invoices from both current and previous ownership, and a purchase invoice. The continuity of paperwork provides confidence in both mileage and ongoing care.

The Model:

The 1991 Rover Mini Cooper represents the revival of the legendary Cooper name, reintroducing performance and character to the classic Mini formula. Powered by a 1275cc engine, these early 1990s examples retained the raw, engaging driving experience that made the Mini famous, combined with subtle updates for improved usability. Renowned for its sharp handling, compact footprint and unmistakable styling, the Mini Cooper remains one of Britain’s most iconic and enjoyable driver’s cars.
