1999 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 supplied new by Dixon Rover on 4th November 1999 and is a fantastic example. The Mini boasts 21000 miles from new and has been under the ownership of the same family for the past 17 years, with recurring periods unused in storage.
The exterior presents superbly and all panels are believed to be original apart from the outer door skins. The original factory spot welds are on inner wings and the original factory ‘body’ number is present on the slam panel. The Mini has its original vented sills both sides. The interior is in excellent condition and reflects the low mileage.
The Mini is sold newly serviced and MOT'd with no advisories and also benefits from a new Maniflow exhaust and four new tyres. Supplied with the Mini is a history file which includes the original stamped service book.
