Description
This distinctive 1992 Rover Mini Sprite, in Henley Blue with a black roof is a real enthusiast’s car.
Based on the early 1990s entry-level Mini, this custom creation is a bespoke model with a huge list of upgrades that ensure it’s a real one-off.
From the outside, the 12x6 Minilite wheels with Falken tyres (sitting below extended wheelarches) stand out, as does the Mk1 quick-release grille, de-seamed front and rear bumpers plus other accessories including retro door mirrors and bonnet straps.

It’s also fitted with four-pot calipers with Mini-Spares grooved discs and Green Stuff brake pads.

Newton Commercial moulded carpets and underfelt add a comfortable touch.
