A final Mini Classic Cooper Sport 2000 with one owner and 15,953 miles

MODEL HISTORY
Due to the immense popularity of the Sports Pack, an option on 1997-2000 Minis, Rover decided to release a final standalone model with it fitted as standard. The Classic Cooper Sport was born, and became the flagship of the Mini range.  Just 2091 RHD Classic Cooper Sports were made from the last batch of production each with the unique SAXXNP chassis number.  Today these are highly sought after and rare cars with just 587 known to the register

EXTERIOR
This historically important Mini was made at the end of the line and is finished in British Racing Green, (Code WNS) with a contrasting Platinum Silver roof, (Code MNX).  The paintwork boasts a beautiful glossy shine with a silky smooth and uniform finish which warrants the low miles covered.  The purposeful Sport Pack, unmarked decals and bright chrome work complement the polished paint to create an outstanding appearance.  The front bumper has a tiny mark along with the bonnet which does not detract from the show winning credentials.  Factory stickers to the front and side glass remain and the correct Quadoptic halogen lights, driving lamps and front fogs are fitted.   At the rear the proud GB, Sport chrome badges and dealer supplied number plate are present.  Stunning.

INTERIOR
Lavishly trimmed, the full leather interior in Black and Nickle Silver, (Code WNP), is in incredible order thanks to the one careful custodian and low miles.  Natural light veins to all seating is unavoidable but no wear to the silver inserts and silver coated steering wheel can be detected.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The time proven Rover Group A-Series engine used in this final production car utilises the 1275cc unit mated to Multi-Point fuel Injection to lower emissions and increase performance to a refined yet punchy 62bhp.  The delightful and unobtrusive rasp from the factory standard exhaust is a hoot!  The engine bay is spotless and factory standard to allow exhibiting.  The four speed gearbox is smooth, precise and a pleasure to use.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Cooper Sport 13in alloy wheels with the correct green Mini centre logo caps remain in fantastic order and are still shod in matching Dunlop SP2000 175/50 R13 tyres.  Although ample tread remains and original fitment is desired by collectors, due to age, a change is recommended.  The servo assisted brakes incorporating front discs and rear drums bring the car to a prompt and assured halt.

EXTERIOR
This exhilarating car started out as an Austin Mini Thirty limited edition in Cherry Red. In 2013 a truly incredible transformation project was undertaken to create the very special vehicle offered today. Finished in Flame Red, this Mini instantly grabs your attention with a vibrant shine and beautifully polished finish from the expensive bare metal repaint, fully documented in a photo album. Structurally perfect with absolutely no corrosion to the panels, the fully de-seamed shell conversion has been carried out to an impeccable standard to create a clean aesthetic appeal. Virtually flawless, even under close scrutiny you will struggle to detect a blemish. All brightwork is excellent aside from very faint pitting on the rear number plate lamp cover. This very unique example really does mean business!

INTERIOR
Upon entering the cockpit of this marvellous Mini, you are instantly exposed to the original Mini seats and door cards in excellent condition. To lift the interior, a set of quality bright red carpets have been professionally fitted and features such as the Piano Black dashboard, chrome fixtures and Mountney steering wheel complete the look. One of the project parameters was to ensure that the original Mini charm was preserved, a goal that has certainly been achieved with the work carried out to the interior. A beautifully clean interior with only subtle hints towards what lays beneath the bonnet, very exciting!

ENGINE, TRANSMISSION & SUSPENSION
An absolute no expense spared mechanical build is fully documented with a huge financial outlay in order to achieve something truly incredible. Designed and prepared by renowned bespoke engineers, Specialist Components, their skill and capability is clear to see upon visiting their website. Using the original A Series engine, a BMW K Series 16v twin cam motorcycle cylinder head has been engineered with specification to include; 1380cc, Omega die-cast pistons, Kawasaki ZZ-R 1100 C Carburettors and Mini Cooper S steel H beam con-rods. The complete specification is truly exhaustive and all workmanship is of the highest level. Commonly with such conversions, it is necessary to use redesigned bonnet and wings in order to allow the engine to fit. However, the use of bespoke engine mountings has meant that the all important standard panel shape remains. This added attention to detail is exceptional and a recent rolling road in June 2017 confirmed output at 135bhp. The Adjusta Ride suspension kit and Gmax uprated shock absorbers give the car a perfect stance but with none of the original Mini magic lost, and the Sportex exhaust system with Klarius rear silencer creates a truly addictive bark!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Ultralite 7×13 alloy wheels with polished rims are fitted, including the spare, with matching quality Yokohama 175/50 R13 tyres. These beautifully crafted rims are complimented by a Group 5 Race wheel arch kit to offer an extreme sporting look. This Mini stops as well as it goes with a vastly uprated braking system to include Mini Braided turbo Metro vented four pot callipers and Braided Aeroquip hose kit.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on 29th September 1989 by Austin Rover Main Dealers Seward Highcliffe Ltd, this example remained as a standard Mini Thirty for most of its life. The colossal history file covers the entire life of the vehicle before the transformation took place in 2013 with documents such as the original service booklet displaying supplying dealer stamps with supporting invoices. Furthermore, a truly eye watering collection of literally hundreds of receipts in excess of £12,000 for components alone offers an insight to just how comprehensive this project was. It is also a reflection of the owner’s desire to create the ultimate Mini at no expense spared. A large collection of photographs documents both the bodywork and mechanical workings and will leave in no doubt the exceptional level of craftsmanship displayed. An insurance marker was placed on the vehicle in 2001 following very light front end damage to one wing and slam panel. A repair invoice in the history file confirms the damage amounted to just £350 and is a reflection of the cars value at that time.
The vehicle born from this epic project is nothing short of outstanding in every respect. The classic Mini look mated to truly exhilarating performance, all carried out to the highest standard. Thrill seekers stop here!

EXTERIOR
This stunning Mini is finished in pastel Baby Blue with an English White roof.  A beautiful uniform shine never fails to generate affectionate smiles from onlookers.  Mirror finish chrome enhancements and detailing is pristine and helps separate this Mini as something very special and carefully created.  All the glass is number plate etched and has a faint blue tint to match the exterior. Original stickers in the screens are still attached such as the Ziebart rust protection and front Triplex Laminated sticker.  The roof gutter channel is slightly discoloured and one tiny ding to the top driver’s door is present.  No usual Mini rust issues and an absolute hoot to drive.  This car is a crowd pleaser!

INTERIOR
The interior of this outstanding Mini is wonderful and is beautifully colour coordinated to match the exterior.  Alert individuals will truly appreciate how perfectly the Blue Tartan cloth seats work in harmony with the rest of the car to offer a designer chic look.  Soft vinyl seat edges which match the unworn door cards are all in remarkable condition and new carpeting offers a luxury feel.  All the instrumentation is in working order and presented in a simple manner.  The original headlining has slight discolouration to the outer edges and an expensive three-spoke wooden steering wheel finishes the delightful package.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
This Mini is in excellent mechanical order with the 998cc 4-cylinder transverse OHV engine producing a healthy 40bhp.  Simple mechanics, excellent parts availability and frugal fuel consumption will keep running and maintenance costs to a minimum.  A precise 4-speed manual gearbox which is light to use.  If you have driven a mini before you will know it is pure fun and this example is no exception!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Eye catching Supalight 8-spoke gunmetal grey alloy wheels with brushed aluminium outer edges are unmarked. Quality Falken 165/60 R12 tyres all-round with excellent tread have recently been fitted.  The servo assisted dual line hydraulic brakes bring the car to a straight and assured halt.  Very responsive handling and manoeuvrability and surprisingly comfortable.

HISTORY FILE
Purchased by the previous owner as a low owner, low mileage Austin Mini in May 2007, he undertook a design challenge to produce a Mini Cooper Replica with all the charm and simplicity of the original 1960’s examples.  Used as a hobby car after completion to attend various shows and Mini events with his family this car now presents itself as a perfect and iconic cult classic for a fortunate new owner.

EXTERIOR
This classic Mini warrants little introduction having gained iconic status and is widely regarded as one of the most ground breaking and historically significant cars of all time.  This late example is finished in its original British Racing Green and Old English White colour scheme (code WE0).  The vibrant paint finish is simply stunning with a deep lustrous polished shine.  All factory panels are straight and damage free with clearly defined seam lines.  Even sharp eyed scrutineers will struggle to fault this example which is testament to the exceptionally low mileage and careful indoor storage.  All trim sections, chrome work, badges and decals are in prime order.  The driving lights are original fitments and fully operate.  A truly exceptional example.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
