1997 Classic Mini Cooper 1.3i mpi for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2) based on 342 votes

Up for sale is my wife's little Mini Cooper. This cracking wee car is the last of the classic style minis and has the 1300cc twin-point fuel injection engine. It was first registered in Jan 1997 and has clocked up only 94000 miles in 16 years. It starts and drives great and everything works as it should.  

We bought this car three years ago in 2010 after it just had a bodyshop refurbishment with brand new wings and front panels and the entire car professionally resprayed with a fresh coat of metallic Tahiti Blue for the body and metallic silver for the roof. It's a stunning combo as you can see in the pics. and goes well with the half leather interior.

This year it has been treated to an extensive mechanical overhaul to get everything just right and over the last couple of months the car has had the following work done and all these parts fitted brand new:-

New water pump
New cylinder head gasket
Cylinder valves refurbishment and adjustment
New clutch assembly and crankshaft oil seal
New driveshaft oil seals
New gear selector oil seal
New front brake discs and pads
New rear brake shoes. cylinders and adjusters
New ‘smootharide' full adjustable suspension upgrade kit
New suspension damper units all round
New Yokohama tyres x4
New headliner and rear parcel shelf
New fitted carpets
Mountney leather steering wheel
New wiper delay park switch
New genuine mpi windscreen
New window seals all round
New door seals

I have pics of all work done and receipts for parts. The car has also had a fresh coat of hammerite over all the internal floor and boot areas prior to fitting the new carpets. and a fresh coat of waxoyl applied underneath the floor and wheel arches. There are a couple of minor bubbling areas coming through now in the usual places but nothing severe. Sills and floor areas are all solid.

It is taxed until May 2014. and mot until November this year.   I would have no problem in arranging a fresh 12 month MOT included in the sale if I obtain the asking price. The car has just been fully serviced again and really is ready to go. The only thing it needs is a new owner!

No part exchanges please. the wife has already seen her ‘new' car…… :)

Viewing recommended. Test drives available with production of valid insurance and licence.

Car advertised elsewhere so may remove listing early.   Price now reduced by £600. Come on this is a bargain now.
