Mini Cooper Sport 500 For Sale

2001 classic rover mini cooper sport 500 s works

The Cooper Sport 500 was the final edition of the classic Mini, released in a strictly limited production run of 500 units. They were only available in four exterior colours; British Racing Green, Tahiti Blue, Solar Red and Anthracite, with a contrasting Platinum Silver roof and bonnet stripes. Each car was appropriately built to a high specification, including a bank of four fog and spot lamps, 13” Sportspack alloy wheels and arches, a high-level brake light, leather seats in black and nickel silver, alloy door trim and an engine-turned dash with chrome bezel gauges. Every Mini Cooper Sport 500 rolled off the production line with a 'Last 500' certificate signed by John Cooper, and a unique plaque within the glove box, reading “This Mini is one of the last 500 built to the original Sir Alec Issigonis design”.

This superb 2001 Y-reg example, number 241 of 500, is presented in British Racing Green with wonderful black and grey leather interior. In 2012 the car had an ‘S-Works’ conversion carried out by Mini specialist Palmer Brothers Works, comprising of an engine head upgrade and exhaust and air filter enhancements to push out around 25bhp more than standard.

The Mini has covered just 38,000 miles from new - a mere 500 miles in the past 6 years - and is in lovely condition having been carefully maintained. It is sold newly serviced and MOT’d with no advisories. All four wheels have been refurbished and the car has benefitted from a comprehensive valet. Accompanied by two sets of keys, full service history and a file of invoices and sundry literature including the official “Last 500” certificate and Palmer Brothers conversion certificate.

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.
