mini john cooper le 40

2000 classic rover mini john cooper le 40

The Mini John Cooper LE 40 was unveiled in 1999, celebrating 40 remarkable years of the Mini and honouring the Cooper’s triumph in the F1 World Championship. With only 300 units produced, this limited edition was exclusively offered in a striking Brooklands Green with a contrasting Old English White roof, and featured a stunning Grenadine Red leather interior. Every car was built to a very high standard, boasting Rallye-style spot lamps, white bonnet stripes and mirrors, and 13" Sportspack alloy wheels and flared wheel arches. The luxurious interior features a leather-bound steering wheel, handbrake lever and gear knob, a radio/CD stereo and an engine-turned effect dash with magnolia-faced dials.

This Mini John Cooper LE 40 was first registered on 28th January 2000 and displays 51,000 miles from new. The car has evidently been meticulously maintained throughout its life and has covered a mere 6,000 miles in the past 14 years with recurring periods spent in storage.

The Mini drives incredibly well and is ready to be enjoyed. Under the bonnet resides a 1275cc ‘MPI’ inline-four, producing around 62bhp through a four-speed manual transmission. The engine is strong and pulls impeccably and the gear synchros are all in good order with no crunches on changes. The cabin is also in fantastic order, with only some very faint use-related creasing on the seat bolsters. The carpet and headlining both appear original and the interior also features an aluminium-finished gear knob with matching door handles and window winders. As result of years dry stored in a garage, the exterior presents in excellent condition. The chrome is in very good order and the rubbers have retained their rich colour, resisting substantial wear. Notably, the Mini has a complete and impressive MoT history record showing no corrosion issues.

The Mini John Cooper LE 40 is sold freshly serviced and MoT’d and also benefits from newly refurbished alloy wheels and recent Yokohama A539 tyres. Supplied with owners handbooks and a history file to warrant the mileage.

A rare opportunity to purchase a superbly presented, collector-quality example of the desirable limited edition Mini John Cooper.

I was looking for a Mini for over a year and nearly fell in some pit holes along the way, but then I saw a Mini at Phil Mires Classic Cars, and this is when I met Phil. From start to finish he has made the whole experience what it should be when buying a Mini; fun and informative.
