The vendor informs us that this late-production example presents smartly in its classic red and white colour scheme, wearing the correct bonnet stripes and Cooper badging. The bodywork appears tidy overall, with the brightwork, grille and lamps in good order, and the car sits well on its factory-style Minilite alloy wheels. A charming period touch is the original Mr Brown – Rover dealer sticker from Newmarket, still proudly displayed in the rear window, adding a layer of provenance and originality rarely seen today.
Inside, the cabin retains an appealingly honest patina. The seats, dash and door cards present well for their age, with only light wear commensurate with use. The vendor advises that the 1.3-litre multi-point injection engine starts readily and runs cleanly, the car driving as expected with MOT validity through to November 2026. The odometer shows 85,563 miles, supported by past MOT records and presenting as credible mileage.
As the final iteration of Alec Issigonis’ legendary design, the late 1990s and 2000 Minis are increasingly sought after by collectors. Their more modern running gear, improved refinement and unmistakable styling have ensured a loyal following, and well-presented examples with characterful touches—such as this one—continue to generate strong interest.
