We are very pleased to offer a real piece of Classic Mini history, a 1999 Rover Mini 40 Limited Edition. Built in very low numbers to commemorate 40 years of Mini production just 250 were produced for the UK and this example is the Holy Grail amongst its peers finished in stunning Old English White and one of just 50, making it a very rare and sought after Mini. In my opinion they are possibly the best appointed Minis produced giving a real luxury feel and classy looks. Mini 40s were factory Sportspacks with unique Gold coachlines, Gold 40 emblem bonnet badge, twin spotlights and a chrome GB badge. This 40 also has tasteful showroom optional extra bumpers with nudge bars and a stainless steel exhaust. This is the first Old English White 40 we have had the pleasure in preparing and I can confirm they are awesome in the flesh and surely one of the best looking Minis produced.
This example has only covered a very low 6 thousand miles in 27 years with just two previous owners. It is accompanied with its original handbooks, fully stamped service book, both sets of keys and fobs and the all important Mini 40 presentation case. It was registered new by Jones of Rayne in Essex and it still proudly wears both its original dealer number plates and tax disc holder. It is in fantastic original condition and is highly detailed, it looks new and smells new.
On the road the Mini drives beautifully. Mini 40’s are the same spec as Coopers so they have brisk performance and excellent handling. This is an MPI Mini which stands for Multi Point fuel injection, featuring a drivers airbag, side impact beams and an alarm and immobiliser, they also have taller gearing making long distance cruising a pleasure. The low mileage engine is near silent and the gearbox slick and precise. A stainless steel exhaust gives it the correct burble. All you need to do to have some Mini fun is turn the key and go.
The interior is absolutely stunning and surely the best interior that Rover produced. It has Prussian blue leather seats with matching door cards and carpets. Aluminium turned dashboard with six magnolia dials with a “40” emblem on the clocks. It also has beautiful alloy door trim and the original Rover CD player. It also has its original rubber floor matts and this model has rear seat belts. It is totally unmarked throughout.
The Mini has an amazing shell and can only be described as like new. The underside is totally unmarked and completely spotless, as it rolled off the production line. The paintwork is unmarked as is all of the original chrome work. It has been a pleasure to prepare this awesome Mini and I am sure its lucky new owner will enjoy it as much as I have, its an absolute work of art.
We have fully serviced, checked and driven the Mini and it has a full MOT so is ready to be enjoyed.
