Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1993 Rover Mini Cabriolet, one of only 300 ever made, is finished in Nightfire Pearlescent Red with a black leather interior. The car comes with a history file, car cover, and stainless steel exhaust, but it has been used sparingly by the current owner of seven years.

The interior is smart, and the mohair hood is a replacement, indicating some wear and tear. Given this information, a condition rating of 7 seems appropriate, reflecting a car that is overall solid but requires minor reconditioning.

There is an oft-repeated saying ‘ it does what it says on the tin ’; in this instance, it does what it says on the number plate: P999 FAB and FAB it certainly is.
This lovely 1300 Mini Cabriolet has been well looked after and has no horror stories, but due to the lack of use and a growing family, the current custodian of some seven years has reluctantly decided to part with his Mini.
Finished in Nightfire Pearlescent Red, the Mini sports a smart in...
