1997 classic rover mini cooper 1.3i mpi

Name: 1997 CLASSIC ROVER MINI COOPER 1.3i MPI
Brand: Phil Mires Classic Cars
Availability: OutOfStock

Originally supplied by All Electric Garages Group (Rover) on 27th March 1997, this Rover Mini Cooper MPI is presented in Surf blue with white roof and body decals. Distinguishing features include a Wood & Pickett stainless steel exhaust system, performance throttle body, K&N air filter, Wood & Pickett chrome grille, 13'' ‘Sportspack’ Minilite alloy wheels and bespoke burr walnut interior trim.

The recent lady owner purchased the car from Wood & Pickett in December 2011, where it was serviced and sold on behalf of the previous lady keeper. Since 2011, it has been driven only in dry weather (including the London-Brighton runs and local classic car events) and garage stored whenever not in use. Notably, the car had a full respray in 2013 and was put into dry storage in late 2015, before being unearthed earlier this year.

Displaying 69,000 miles on the clock (warranted), the classic Mini has recently undergone extensive recommissioning - and at great expense - including a new throttle body, new lambda sensor, new oil filter, new coolant temperature sensor, new battery and a comprehensive valet. The Mini is sold newly serviced and MoT’d and is supplied with a complete service book and folder full of MoT certificates and sundry receipts.

I have just sold my 2001 Rover Mini Cooper Sport to Phil Mires. During the process, I have been impressed with the professional attitude and genuine support received. I was very impressed by his knowledge and vision. First class methodology and extremely prompt payment make this endorsement easy to write. I wish him every success for the future.

Phil is a really genuine, honest, respectful and polite man to deal with. He was very flexible and made our transaction very smooth, even completing all the paperwork and kept me fully informed throughout. I would not hesitate to use the company again. Thank you Phil.

Gemma Page

From start to finish Phil was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Knowledgeable, professional and kind. I absolutely adore my new (but old!) Mini Cooper. She's a beauty! Would definitely recommend and if I'm in the market for a classic again, Phil Mires Classic Cars would be my first port of call.
