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.

What our customers say

From the first enquiry email to Phil, up until collection of the Mini, he has been the ultimate professional! Every stage Phil has been patient, informative and courteous. The sale of my Mini was emotionally challenging but Phil was incredibly supportive and made the sale the easiest it could be! Without a doubt, an excellent buyer.

David

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.

Jonathan

I have just sold my Mini to Phil. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgable. Extremely efficient and speedy transaction. Money transfer very quick and car picked up within two days. The best stress free sale of a car I have ever done. Thank you Phil.
