Rover Mini 40 LE 1999 // Rare Island Blue // Only 27k Miles // AVAILABLE SOON

£23,950

Interior & Equipment

The original navy leather seats piped in cream remain unmarked and present perfectly. The striking duo-tone black and cream leather steering wheel with SRS airbag sits in front of the beautifully turned alloy dash fascia topped with tramline-stitched navy leather, complemented by traditional cream dials branded Mini 40 and chrome surrounds, a navy leather gearstick gaiter, cream leather cross-stitched gear knob, and polished alloy door furniture.

The original navy carpets are in excellent order and appear as new. Unmarked pale grey headlining, opening rear quarter windows and fitted with an updated JVC KD-X230 digital receiver that plays digital files from from USB, front auxiliary (AUX) inputs, iPods/iPhones, and Android devices.

Wherever you look, the attention to detail impresses — the interior is simply stunning.

Exterior

Wheels, Tyres & Brakes

Filling the extended Cooper Sport wheel arches are the original unmarked and never refurbished 13 x 6 inch Cooper Sport Alloy Wheels. Fitted with all matching original 175/50 R13 Yokohama A539 tyres, the space saver spare has never been fitted.

Brakes - Servo assisted, diagonally split dual circuit system with front discs and drum rears.

Handling is razor sharp as you would expect from these Mini Coopers, rack & pinion steering, and independent suspension with telescopic hydraulic dampers.

Summary

In 1999, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Mini, a special limited-edition model was released under the name Mini 40. A total of 800 cars were produced worldwide, comprising 250 confirmed UK-market examples, an estimated 150 for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), and a further 400 left-hand-drive models destined for the European export market.

The 250 UK-market cars were individually numbered from 1 to 250 during production. Each car was supplied with a presentation case and an accompanying certificate displaying its unique production number.

The UK edition was available in three distinctive colours: 150 in Mulberry Red, 50 in Old English White and 50 in Island Blue.
