1999 classic rover mini 40 le
The Mini 40 was introduced in 1999 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic Mini. This special edition, which drew inspiration from the Cooper S, saw only 800 units produced, with just 250 allocated for the domestic market. The Mini 40 stands out as one of the priciest production Minis ever crafted, showcasing an impressive array of high-end features. Each car came equipped with Rallye-style spot lamps, 13" Sportspack alloy wheels complemented by flared wheel arches and a luxurious full leather interior. Additionally, it included a leather-bound steering wheel, handbrake lever and gear knob, a radio/CD stereo and a striking engine-turned effect dashboard with magnolia faced dials.
First registered on 29th September 1999, this Rover Mini 40 is presented in stunning Mulberry Red with matching full leather interior and contrasting seat piping. The Mini began life as a demo car for Rover dealer South Clevedon Garages Ltd and was purchased from the dealership in November 1999 by a lady, who has remained the registered keeper ever since. Over the course of the past 22 years the car has been driven sparingly, with reoccurring periods spent in dry storage.
The Mini boasts 31,000 miles from new (a mere 4,000 miles in the past 10 years) and is in exceptional condition throughout, commensurate with such low mileage. The exterior is remarkably clean and rust free and the engine is strong and pulls impeccably. Notably, the Mini has been serviced and maintained by the same reputable garage for most of its life. The Mini is sold newly serviced and MoT’d with no advisories and also benefits from a new front pipe, battery, front bump stops, tyres and reconditioned alloy wheels. The original purchase invoice, owner’s handbooks and both sets of keys are all present.
This Rover Mini 40 is now sold.
