The Rover Mini was the final take on the iconic Alec Issigonis designed car, and the last original Mini to be produced. Officially known as the Mark VII, the Rover Mini offered features not seen before in the car, such as a driver's side airbag, side impact protection beams, and additional sound insulation. These features, including revised front seats, arguably made the Mark VII the most comfortable and usable version of the classic Mini.
This 2000 Tahiti blue example was originally supplied new by Lookers Wilmslow to a Mr Brian Wolfe of Cheadle on 9th Sept 2000. The car comes with a large history file, which states that Lookers gave the car its first service in 2001. Mepglow Mini then carried out the servicing in 2004, 2005 and 2006 up to a mileage 8,505 miles. Royles Motor Group then serviced the car in 2017 at 16,000 miles. The car was purchased by the vendor in April 2019 from Richard Williams Classic Minis Ltd, and the mileage is now 17,400. Forming part of a private collection, this example is in a truly excellent condition. The bodywork, paint, interior all present well. The engine starts and runs as it should and will be driven to the auction by the vendor. This is a lovely, low mileage example that is increasingly rare to find in this condition. Also offered with a full year's MOT.
