Description
Charming 35th Anniversary Edition; 1 of just 200 UK market examples
with full leather interior; fuel injected engine showing just 28,983
miles
Dating from August 1996 this Mini Cooper
35th Anniversary edition is one of just 200 UK market cars and is
finished in Almond Green with a Diamond white roof (Flame red was the only other
colour option) and sits upon a set of lovely Gun Metal Grey 12” Minilite style
wheels with silver rims as well as fitment of twin spotlamps and twin fog lamps
across the front as well as special 35th Anniversary
decals.
Under the bonnet we find the familiar
1,275cc four-cylinder engine but with single-point fuel injection (and features
a relatively unique engine number starting 12A2EJ66, shared only with the 1994
Monte Carlo LE version) driving the front wheels via four-speed manual
transmission.
Inside, we find porcelain green
leather seats embossed with Cooper logos with matching leather wrapped badged
steering wheel, walnut dash and cream dials.
This tidy example shows just 28,983 miles, but a handful more than
when it was purchased from us back in 2015 when it had covered an indicated
28,700 miles, our lady owner keeping it tucked away in her garage ever
since.
The history file includes the V5C
revealing six former keepers, an old V5C, a new and unmarked owner’s pack and
blank service book, the current MOT valid until May 2023 with no advisories
recorded, a selection of photos of the car showing it to be having some frontal
strip down and repair work, a file of bills for works undertaken and parts
purchased including a replacement bumper and headlight in 2008 and a service
receipt dated May 2022 costing £508 as well as nine old
MOTs.
Ready to be enjoyed, or perhaps tucked
away again as an investment this little car ticks many boxes with its low
mileage, rarity of model and condition.
Bidders
please note this Lot was recorded Category -C in March 2008 (likely hence the
photos and bills for a bumper, light etc at the same time)
