Limited Edition Paul Smith Mini (1999)

Finished in Paul Smith Purple with contrasting full black Jaguar style leather interior. 1 of only 1800 limited edition cars made with features including Lime Green boot lining. glove box and rocker cover. Charcoal mini-lite wheels. Body coloured dash. 24 carat gold plated bonnet badge plus UK Logo on the Grille. This model was one of the last limited edition mini's to be made prior to Rover selling to BMW and the advent of the New MINI.  The provenance of this particular car is that is was kept back by a dealer as a showroom car and so was registered in 1999 a year after the end of the production run. It was bought new by a man and wife couple who kept it until they grew too old to car for it. It then passed on to one of their neighbours who collected vintage cars but knew little about mini's as such he sold it to myself and my father. I was the registered keeper at first however I joined the military and so it was transferred into my dad's name. It being not such an old mini is really a great model to buy.  These limited run rover models are going up and up in value almost by the day and the only reason my father and I are selling is due to me emigrating to the USA and my dad retiring and wanting room in the garage.  We have care for it well. it has been used but the mileage still sits around the 83-84. 00 mark.  It underwent some minor restoration with us a few years ago just to tidy it up a little all parts used were genuine Rover parts.  The car has a lot of (probably full but it's hard to say with these old cars) Service History and paperwork. including the original bill of sale. the original plate from the dealer it was bought from as well as the limited edition denim jack bag.  Sadly when the minor restoration work was done. the grill was replaced and the boot door was resealed meaning the GB badges and British map badge are not on the car. however these are present and could be refitted.  This is a really well loved little mini and I will be sad to see it go but sadly I cannot take it with me so will gladly let it go to a new home.  If you have any questions or would like to see more photographs then I can post on this site. don't hesitate to email me or call me.  According to DVLA records this is one of the last 130 genuine paul smiths that remain on the road.  There are many replicas. this is probably the last to be registered in the run of 1800 and now is one of the last surviving in the UK.
