1999 classic rover mini cooper sportspack
Originally supplied by Wilsons Rover of Whitley Bay on 29th October 1999, this Mini Cooper Sportspack is finished in iconic British Racing Green with a white roof and body decals, over a black leather-trimmed interior. Its specification includes Rallye-style fog and spot lamps, 13-inch alloy wheels, chrome interior accents, a burr walnut dash and a three-clock binnacle with magnolia-faced dials. Power comes from a 1275cc multi-point injection engine producing around 62bhp, paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Currently displaying 60,549 miles, this example has been cherished by the same owner for the past 12 years, during which it only accrued around 3,000 miles, spending much of that time in the warm, dry Spanish climate. Under their care it has been well maintained, sensibly driven and kept garaged whenever not in use.
The Mini presents very well and is ready for immediate enjoyment. For a car of its age, its condition is impressive: the British Racing Green paintwork exhibits a deep shine and lustre, the brightwork and chrome remain in excellent order and the rubbers are rich in colour. The alloy wheels are also in very good condition.
Inside, the cabin is clean and beautifully kept. The burr walnut dashboard complements the black leather upholstery superbly, with no tears visible in the carpet, headlining or seats. A bespoke centre console has been installed, along with a modern Pioneer head unit. The door cards and handles only show minimal signs of wear, and the two-tone steering wheel exhibits a light patina. Elsewhere, the boot and engine bay are presentable, and the undercarriage has been Dinotrol protected. The rear subframe appears in good order, and the sills have previously been repaired.
On the road, this Mini is great fun to drive. As a Mk7 model, it combines the classic Mini's legendary go-kart handling with the improved reliability and usability of the later 1.3i injection engine. It pulls strongly, changes gear smoothly and brakes effectively.
The Mini is sold freshly serviced and MOT’d until 17th December 2026, and also benefits from new shock absorbers, wheel cylinders, steering rack gaiters and rear radius arms. It comes accompanied by a comprehensive history file dating back to the point of first registration, including the original stamped service book.
