We are very pleased to offer a very rare 1991 Rover Mini Cooper 1275cc, Finished in White Diamond with a contrasting black roof, bonnet stripes and twin spot lamps. It has covered a very low 56 thousand miles in 35 years and is accompanied with a large detailed service history folder including an invoice from 2018 for a detailed refurbishment costing over £12k. It has been carefully cherished since by the last owner of ten years. This is a 1275 Carburettor Mini Cooper, relaunched by Rover after a near twenty year gap in Cooper production in 1990 and produced for only two years before the introduction of fuel injection. These Carb Coopers are widely regarded as the last of the true Coopers in terms of tuning potential and driving experience and very few remain in original spec. This Cooper is also even rarer in that it is White Diamond and Black, a colour combination that was produced in very low numbers and it really suits the Mini shape and certainly makes it stand out from the crowd, we have only supplied only 3 in nearly twenty years.
On the road this Cooper drives like a Cooper should, the 1275 engine has excellent oil pressure and bags of acceleration, the gearbox is precise and wider profile Yokohama tyres give it precise handling. It benefits from having all of the running gear replaced including brakes, suspension etc so it has a very positive feel. Carb Coopers really fly and easily keep up with modern traffic and are in there element on the twisty roads. A stage one kit gives it a healthy Cooper burble that will always make you smile.
The Mini has a very well presented interior, it has its original Crayon trim seats, matching door cards with alloy door furniture, unmarked roof liner and black carpets. It has the correct three clock dash with green dials with a rev counter, two extra gauges for water temp and oil pressure, Cooper leather steering wheel, an extra race style switch panel for spot lamps and cooling fan and a centre console with a Sony Bluetooth CD player and twin USB ports. This model also has rear seat belts and a third level brake light. The boot is fully lined and the engine bay is nicely detailed.
The Cooper has an excellent shell with gleaming body coloured floor pans, the correct vented sills, all four inner arches are body coloured as is the underside. All of the running gear including the subframes still look new. The paintwork is well presented, this Mini could easily be displayed whilst being a very useable drivers machine.
The Mini is fully checked, serviced, tuned and driven and has a long no advisory MOT so is ready to be enjoyed.
